The ninth *Prajnapana Sutra* is called the ninth 'Yoni-pad'. When the lifespan of a being in a particular existence is complete, it carries its *taijas* and *karman* bodies with it. The place where it goes to receive the *pudgalas* of a new body, suitable for rebirth, or is born in the form of a womb, or takes birth, is called 'Yoni'. Yoni has great significance in the life of every being, because the environment, nature, *sanskaras*, traditional tendencies, etc. of the Yoni in which a being is born, have an impact on that being. Therefore, in this *pad*, Shri Shyamacharya has mentioned the various types of Yoni and presented the thoughts of beings in relation to those Yonis. This *pad* describes Yoni from many perspectives. First, it classifies Yoni into three types: cold, hot, and temperate, and then describes which Yoni belongs to which being, from the *nairyaikas* to the *vaimanikas*. Then, it analyzes which of these three Yoni-bearing and *ayonic* beings are more or less numerous. After that, it mentions the three types of Yoni: *sachitta*, *achitta*, and *misra*, and discusses them in the same way. Then, it again considers the three types of Yoni: *sanvrita*, *vivrita*, and *sanvrita-vivrita*, in the same way as before. Finally, it mentions the three specific Yonis of humans: *kurno-nnata*, etc., and describes the women who are their rulers and the humans who are born in them. Overall, this *pad* presents beautiful thoughts about the Yonis of all beings. *The 84 lakh Yonis of beings are all derived from these 9 types of Yonis of all beings.* These 84 lakh Yonis have sprung up as branches and sub-branches of these. *The three specific Yonis that indicate the place of origin of all humans are mentioned at the end: *kurno-nnata*, *shankha-varta*, and *vanshi-patra*. The *tirthankaras* and other great men are born in the *kurno-nnata* Yoni, many beings come and stay in the *shankha-varta* Yoni of women, in the form of a womb,
