Bhagavai 6:6:120-128 transforming it, and building the body. Such souls undertake the process of expanding soul-units second time and at that time, they take birth there and appropriate nourishment, transform it and start building their body." This rule is common to all living beings belonging to the groups (dandakas) of infernals up to that of the Anuttara Vimānas (highest heavens).
The abodes of the two-sensed beings etc. are in a particular part of cosmos. The abodes of the one-sensed beings are all over the cosmos; therefore, they are said to take birth in the whole cosmos up to the terminus of the cosmos, except the śrenī (linear space) of one dimension of one space-point width near the boundary of the cosmic space throughout. The reason is that, because every soul requires at least innumerable number of space-points to stay in, it would take birth in the space avenue which is of "many" (i.e., not one) space-points dimensions--that is, of innumerable number of space-points dimensions. Srimajjayācārya has shown aneka as antonym of eka. According to him, the word aneka stands for innumerable. Semantics bālāgra-For the words bālāgra etc., see the Bhäsya on Bha. 6.134.
