**115.** The three distinct powers of Right Faith, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct, which are related to the Arhant Devas, are based on the three qualities of attainment, use, and refinement, and we, having attained them, are born from the birth of refinement.
**116.** We are born without a womb, therefore we are Devas, not humans. If there are others like us, tell me their characteristics.
**117.** We are born from the mouth of Svayambhu, therefore we are Devas and Brahmanas. The mark of our vows is the sacred thread, as declared in the scriptures.
**118.** You, who follow the thread of sin, are not Brahmanas, only those who wear the thread on their necks. You are merely contaminated with impurities, sharp thorns on the path of righteousness.
**119.** There are two types of birth for living beings: bodily birth and birth of refinement. Similarly, Jain scriptures state that there are two types of death for living beings.
**120.** The attainment of another body after the destruction of the previous body is known as bodily birth for those who have a body.
**121.** The attainment of the self-knowledge again through the practice of refinement is called the birth of refinement, which is born from refinement.
**122.** The death of the body is the abandonment of the body at the end of one's lifespan. The death of refinement is the abandonment of sins by a vow-taker.
**123.** One who has attained all the refinements and abandons the previous state of false belief is considered dead in a way.
**124.** This excellent birth, born from refinement, is free from sin and has been attained by me through the guidance of my Guru, therefore I am called a Deva-Brahmana.
**125.** By revealing the excellence of his soul through the path of righteousness, this man, having attained the supreme state of Sadgrihitva, becomes a Sadgrihastha.
**126.** I will further explain the Brahmanas who are worthy of action, to dispel the pride of their caste.
