being), the Manushya-Ayuh (the life-period of a human being) and the Tiryak-Ayuh (the life-period of a lower animal), the thirty-seven Nama-Karmas e.g., the Deva-Gati (the status of a heavenly being) etc., Uchcha-Gotra-Karma (the Karma that accounts for one's birth in a high family) and Sata-VedaniyaKarma (Karma that accounts for a pleasurable feeling)—these forty-seven are the Punya-Karmas.
The remaining eighty-two Karmas are Asubha and Papa Karmas.
The Jiva of Ten Kinds. Ten Pranas (or life-energies) account for the ten modes of a Soul. The five Indriyas (senses). Vachana (speech). Manas (Mind), Sarira-bala (bodily energy), Pranapana (inhalation and exhalation) and Ayuh (life-period) constitute the ten Pranas.
Paryopti is the cause of getting Life ; a Soul is Paryapta or 'fully capable' in that respect in which he attains Paryapti and gets the particular mode of Life accordingly. Paryapti is of six forms.--Ahara-Paryapti, Sarira-Paryapti, Indriya-Paryapti, Pranapana-Paryapti, Vachana Paryapti and Manas-Paryapti. The one-sensed animal is never possessed of Vachana-Paryapti and Manas-Paryapti; hence it is devoid of Manas (Mind) and Vachana (power of speech). In the same way, the two-sensed, the three-sensed, the four-sensed and the non-minded fivesensed animals are devoid of Mind as they never have the Manas-Paryapti. All the six forms of the Paryapti are found in a minded (Sanijni) animal.
As soon as the Soul is possessed of the Ahara-Paryapti, it becomes capable of taking in Pudgala which is competent to form the Body and thus is generated the Life, called the Ayuh.' The Soul which has thus the Ahara-Paryapti i. called the Aharaka ; when it is stripped off this Paryapti, it is called the Anaharaka. The Soul which has reached the fourteenth i.e., the last Gunasthana is called the Ayoga-Keoali ; it is an Anaharaka. The Siddhas are Anaharakas. A Soul remains in the state of the Anaharaka, after it has left one body and before it
assumes a fresh one ; this state is called the Vigraha-Gati. The Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
