of the time of one respiration. And many of the Jivas after coming into mother's womb die in a very short period; their potentiality does not get manifested, their miseries are to be known similar to those of one-sensed beings and other specialities are also found which are to be known accordingly.
The beings of uterine birth are born after living for some period in the womb; their miseries have been described earlier from the karmic bondage point of view. All that description is possible for human beings of uterine birth. Or it should be known similar to that of the Tiryanchas as described earlier.
The special point is this that here in humna beings some particular power is found. The kings, etc. have more rise of Sata karma and the Kshatriyas (militants) have the rise of high family status determining karmas also. And the association of wealth, relatives (kith and kin) etc. is found particularly.
Or, the distresses of womb state, etc. are known clearly. As a worm is generated in faeces, similarly, this Jiva is born in the womb, forming his body out of the union of sperm and ovum. There the growth of knowledge, etc. and of body takes place gradually. The pain of staying in womb is extreme. There, one completes the period in the contracted form and procumbent state with hunger and thirst feeling, etc. When he comes out of the womb then he suffers from great misery in childhood. Some people say that in childhood misery is less; it is not so, but due to weak power it is not manifested. Afterwards the miseries of indulging in business, etc. and satisfying the passional desires, etc. get manifested. The perturbation caused due to agreeable and disagreeable feelings continues persisting and in old age he becomes languid and then he becomes extremely unhappy. These miseries are evidently seen happening. What more should be stated ? One who does not recognize the evidently happening miseries of human life, how would he like to listen to their descrip-tion ? Someone, by chance, meets with the rise of somewhat Sata (auspicious prakritis) that too is full of perturbance. And the ranks of the personages like Tirthankaras, etc. are not attained without attaining the path of liberation. Thus, in the human life, miseries alone exist.
