There are two types of knowledge, **Kushila** and **Parijna**, and similarly, there are two types of **Aparyapt**. In the same way, there are living beings with **Apkay**, **Agnikay**, and **Vayukay**. This should be known. The **Sutrakara** describes the living beings with **Vanaspati Kay** in different forms. Trees like **Tern-Kush**, **Ashvastha** or **Peepal**, grains like **Beej-Chawal**, creepers and bushes are also types of **Vanaspati**. Those who experience pain are **Dwiindriya** and other beings, birds and snakes born from eggs, and **Jalayuja-Jambal** born from water, cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep, and humans born from **Parivishthatajanma**, and bedbugs and worms born from sweat, and small winged creatures born from yogurt and kanji - all these are living beings.
By showing the different types of living beings, the **Sutrakara** now explains the faults in harming them - in violence. The **Tirthankaras** have called these **Prithvikaay** and other beings as a group of living beings. Here, due to the **Chandas**, the neuter gender is used. It should be known that these **Prithvikaay** and other beings desire happiness. The meaning of saying this is that all these beings desire happiness and hate suffering. Knowing this, men with sharp intellect - with sharp intellect - should consider that by oppressing them, their soul becomes punishable, that is, by harming them, the soul has to suffer. The **Sutrakara** shows the state of those who harm these beings for a long time, who commit violence against them. Those who cause suffering to the aforementioned **Prithvikaay** and other beings, those who torment them, are reborn again and again in these **Prithvikaay** and other yonis.
Beings start the process of harming other beings to gain happiness. They harm them, but they only get suffering from it. They do not get happiness, or the **Kutirthik** and **Mithya Matvadi** who perform actions through these beings for the sake of liberation, their cycle of birth and death in the world increases.
Those who desire liberation by punishing these beings, by harming them, obtain only the world, which is contrary to liberation, as a result of violence. The **Sutrakara** reveals this.
**Jaaiphaham Anuparivattmane, Tasathavarehim Vinighayameti. Se Jaati Jaatim Bahukurakame, Jam Kuvvati Mijati Tena Bale. ||3||**
**Chhaya - Jaati Pathamanuparivartanamanastra-Sasthavareshu Vinighatameti. Sa Jaati Jaatim Bahukrurkarma, Yat Karoti Mriyate Tena Balah. ||**
**Anuvaad -** One who punishes beings with one sense and so on, who harms them, is born in those same yonis with one sense and so on, dies, he is born and destroyed by taking birth in **Trasas** and **Sthavaras**. He is reborn, performing cruel deeds, and dies by his own deeds.
**_Teeka -_** **Jaatinaam** - beings with one sense and so on, **Jaatipath** - the path of birth, **Yadva** - **Jaati** - birth, **Badho** - death, **Jaati** and **Vadha** are **Jaativaadha**, **Anuparivartanah** - wandering among beings with one sense and so on, experiencing birth, old age, and death many times, **Seshu** - in **Tejovaayu Dwiindriya** and so on, in **Sthavaras** - in **Prithvi Ambu Vanaspati**, born in them, **Kayadanda Vipakajena Karma** - by the karma of the result of bodily punishment, **Bahusho Vinighatam** - destruction, **Avatpnoti** - obtains, **Sa** - he, **Ayatadanda Asumaan** - who has received punishment, **Jaatim Jaatim** - obtains birth, **Bahuni Krurani Darunani Anusthanani Yasya** - who performs many cruel and terrible deeds.
