Gāthā 58] Exposition of the Ownership of the Transition of the Region
17. This is the ownership. 18. Whose is the transition of the highest stage of wrong belief? 19. The soul endowed with meritorious and demeritorious karmas, who has risen up from the seventh earth. 20. He has taken two or three births among the five-sensed animals and then has been born among the one-sensed beings. 21. Within an antarmuhūrta, he has come to the human beings. 22. Quickly, he has begun to destroy the darsana-mohaniya karma. 23. As he completely destroys the wrong belief and converts it into right-wrong belief, so is the transition of the highest stage of his wrong belief.
Explanation - The soul endowed with meritorious and demeritorious karmas is the one who has wandered in the coarse and subtle mobile beings for more than two thousand sāgaropama less than seventy koṭākoṭi sāgaropama of the duration of the bādara (coarse) period. 1. He, whose karmic duration is less than the duration of the vargaṇā (subtle) period, has attained the highest limit of the vargaṇā in the earth-bodied beings, and has experienced the rise and fall of the yoga and kasāya. 2. At the end of the vargaṇā period, he has attained the seventh earth. 3. Without taking two or three births among the five-sensed animals, he has immediately been born among the human beings, due to the impossibility of his attaining the highest stage of wrong belief in the hell-beings. 4. It is said that after equating his stay in the five-sensed animals, he has been born among the one-sensed beings and within an antarmuhūrta, he has come to the human beings. 5. There, due to the destruction of the darsana-mohaniya karma in a single moment, the highest stage of wrong belief is completely destroyed and converted into right-wrong belief.
