## Sixth Inverted Term | / 493 Discussion-Textual Excellence: All beings have six types of lifespan bonds, their number of excellences and their scarcity-presented in the eighth gate, in nine sutras (from 684 to 692), three facts are presented: 1. The six types of lifespan bonds of beings in general, from hellish to celestial beings / 2. The representation of the bond of beings in general and hellish to celestial beings, by the six types of lifespan bonds, with the lowest being one, two or three, and the highest being many excellences. 3. The scarcity of beings who bind each lifespan bond with the lowest and highest excellences. The nature of the six types of lifespan bonds: (1) **Jati-nama-nidhattay** - From the Jain perspective, there are five types of beings, starting with one sense organ. They are a specific form of the after-effect of the name karma, the lifespan that is bound with that 'jati-nama' is called 'jati-nama-nidhattay'. 'Nishaka' means - a specific creation for experiencing karma particles. That creation is as follows - leaving aside its unimpeded time (because karma particles are not experienced in unimpeded time, therefore there is no creation of karma particles in it /) first, in the lowest internal-momentary state, there is a lot of matter. In the karma particles taken in one excellence, there are many in the lowest state. The rest, from one time onwards, there is a special deficiency (less) matter in the internal-momentary state, and as far as the highest state, there are the most excellent (special deficiency, i.e., all deficiency, the least) particles. (2) **Gati-nama-nidhattay** - There are four types of motion - hellish motion, animal motion, human motion and celestial motion / The name karma in the form of motion is 'gati-nama'. The lifespan bound with them is called 'gati-nama-nidhattay' / (3) **Sthiti-nama-nidhattay** - To remain in that particular existence (with the strength of lifespan) is called 'sthiti' / The name (name karma) that is primarily about 'sthiti' is 'sthiti-nama' / The lifespan bound with it is called 'sthiti-nama-nidhattay'. The one who remains in the existence in which he arises is 'sthiti-nama', which is different from motion, species and the five bodies. (4) **Avagahana-nama-nidhattay** - The one in which the being experiences is called 'avagahana'. The audarika etc. bodies, the audarika etc. name karma that creates them - 'avagahana-nama' / The lifespan bound with it is called 'avagahana-nama-nidhattay'. (5) **Pradesha-nama-nidhattay** - 'Pradesha' means - karma atoms / They are experienced through 'pradesha-samkrama' (transition of karma atoms) / The name (name karma) that is primarily about them (pradeshas) is called 'pradesha-nama' / The meaning is that the one who experiences in that existence through 'pradesha' without the ripening of the result is called 'pradesha-nama' / The lifespan bound with the said 'pradesha-nama' is called 'pradesha-nama-nidhattay'. (6) **Anubhava-nama-nidhattay** - 'Anubhava' means - result / Here, the result that has attained the excellence state is taken / The name (name karma) that is primarily about that 'anubhava-vipak' is called 'anubhava-nama'. The meaning is that the name karma that is experienced in that existence with intense result is called 'anubhava-nama'. For example, in hellish existence, there are name karmas like inauspicious color, smell, taste, touch, attack, bad voice, unworthiness, bad reputation etc. Therefore, the lifespan bound with 'anubhava-nama' is called 'anubhava-nama-nidhattay'. In the present, to show the dominance of lifespan karma, jati, gati, sthiti, avagahana name karmas...
