## Seventeenth Leshya-pada: First Uddeshaka
[245 U.] Gautama! Narakas are said to be of three types - Samyagdristi, Mithyadristi and Samyagmithyadristi. / Among them, those who are Samyagdristi have four actions. They are as follows: 1. Aarambhiki, 2. Parigrahiki, 3. Maya-pratyaya and 4. Apratyakhyan-kriya. Those who are Mithyadristi and those who are Samyagmithyadristi, have five actions definitely. They are as follows: 1. Aarambhiko, 2. Parigrahiki, 3. Maya-pratyaya, 4. Apratyakhyan-kriya and 5. Mithyadarshan-pratyaya. / O Gautama! For this reason, it is said that all Narakas do not have the same actions. / - Sixth Door // 6 //
1130. [1130 Pra.] Bhagavan! Are all Narakas of the same lifespan? [1130 U.] Gautama! This meaning is not valid. [Pra.] Bhagavan! For what reason is it said that all Narakas are not of the same lifespan? [U.] Gautama! Naireyikas are said to be of four types. They are as follows: 1. Many Narakas have the same lifespan and are born together, 2. Many have the same lifespan but are born at different times, 3. Many have different lifespans but are born together, and 4. Many have different lifespans and are born at different times. / For this reason, O Gautama! All Narakas are neither of the same lifespan nor born together. / - Seventh Door // 7 //
## Discussion
**Presentation of the Seven Doors related to Samahar etc. in Naireyikas** - The seven sutras presented here discuss the similarities and differences related to the seven doors mentioned earlier, namely Aahar etc., in Naireyikas.
**Maha-sharira - Alpa-sharira** - Those Narakas whose bodies are relatively large are called Maha-sharira, and those whose bodies are relatively small are called Alpa-sharira. The body of a Naireyika is as small as an infinitesimal part of a finger, and as large as five hundred Dhanush. This measurement is in comparison to the Bhavadharani body. In comparison to the Uttarvaikriya body, the smallest is an infinitesimal part of a finger, and the largest is one thousand Dhanush.
**Doubt Resolution** - Why is the difference in Aahar etc. not mentioned first, but the difference in bodies is mentioned first? The reason is that once the difference in bodies is mentioned, the difference in Aahar, Ucchvas etc. is easily understood. / With this intention, the question related to the body, which is to be discussed later, is resolved first.
