In the city of Rājagsha ...... up to addressed the lord thus—how many classes of mundane souls, O Lord!' have been propounded? Gautama! six classes of mundane beings viz., the earth-bodied ...... up to the mobile beings have been propounded. In the same way, as in the Jivābhigama ...... up to one soul at one samaya (indivisible time-unit) performs one single kriyā (urge) viz., the samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) or mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view).
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 97
The present Sūtra is an abridged version of the 29 sūtras of Jīvājīvābhigame Sūtra, (3.183-211). We have already before us the twelve sūtras of the Bhagavati, 6/168, 169 concerned with impure and pure leśyās. The last sūtra is concerned with samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) and mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view). According to the heretical teachers a single soul performs two kriyās (urges) viz., the samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) and mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view) in one samaya. Lord Mahāvīra did not accept this view. He propounded that a soul can not perform two opposite kriyās (urges) viz., the samyaktva kriyā (i.e., the urge rectified with the enlightened view) and the mithyātva kriyā (i.e., the urge vitiated by the deluded view) in one samaya.
