'There are four types of humans: womb-born, karma-land, Arya and Mleccha, and enjoyment-land and non-enjoyment-land. Each of these is sufficient and insufficient. Therefore, there are eight types of womb-born humans and one attainable sufficient fainting human; these total (6+1) 6 living beings related to humans. There are two types of gods, sufficient and insufficient, and similarly, there are two types of hell beings, sufficient and insufficient. Thus, there are 4 living beings related to gods and hell beings. Altogether, there are 85 living beings related to all places, 6 related to humans, 2 related to gods, and 2 related to hell beings (65 + 92 + 2) for a total of 68.

Meaning of the verses: Pure earth-bodied, sound earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied, eternal nigoda, and class nigoda, after these, there are five types of every plant with a body and every plant without a body, both subtle and gross, and in free, there are two types of insufficient (insufficient, insufficient) and one type of sufficient. Thus, there are 1 living being related to one-sensed, 1 related to defective-sensed, 1 related to conscious, and 1 related to occasional, aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial. Among these, there are two types of those who move and three types of those who faint. There are two types of terrestrial and aerial in three types of enjoyment-lands. In the womb-section, there are humans who faint. In the grand, there are three types of enjoyment-lands in the Mleccha section and one type of non-enjoyment-land. Thus, there are six types of womb-born humans, and in each of these, there are two types: sufficient and insufficient. There are also two types (sufficient and insufficient) in 135 types of gods and hell beings. Thus, altogether, there are 406 living beings. ||1-3||
Special meaning - Soil etc. is pure earth-bodied, and stone etc. is sound earth-bodied. Thus, there are two types of earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied, eternal nigoda ordinary plant, and four-gated nigoda ordinary plant. After these seven, there are fourteen types due to the difference between subtle and gross (7*2), and five (vine, creeper, root, small trees like lemon and orange, large trees like banyan etc.) types of every plant with a body and every plant without a body.
1. Those who have a gross body are called every plant with a body. Those who do not have a body are called every plant without a body. (Swa. Ka. Anu. Ga. 120 Tika) |
