## 130/Go. Sa. Jivakanda
## Gatha 82-83
## Birth (2/11)
## Sammurchana - 'Sam' - Samantat, meaning in all three realms, i.e., the upper, lower, and transverse realms, the gathering of the appropriate pudgala atoms for the body from all directions, above, below, and sideways, to form the body is Sammurchana. It is a birth distinct from Garbha and Uppapad birth.
## Garbha - The mutual mingling of Shukra and Shonit, which are the causes of the body's maturation in the womb, i.e., the uterus of a woman, is called Garbha. Or, the assimilation of the food consumed by the mother in her womb, i.e., the process of Garga, is called Garbha. 'Garbha' is a conventional term and refers to the birth of Jarayuja, Andaja, and Potja.
## Uppapad - The birth where the Jiva moves after being obtained is called Uppapad birth. In the case of Devas, obtaining or taking shelter in the Samputa Shayya (a bed shaped like a conch shell), and in the case of Narakas, obtaining or taking shelter in a burrow shaped like the mouth of a camel, etc., and obtaining the pudgala skandhas suitable for the body's transformation is Uppapad. 'Uppapad' is a conventional term referring to the birth of Devas and Narakas.
## The place of origin of Sammurchana, Garbha, and Uppapad birth is called Yoni. Although there are 84 types of Yoni, they are classified into nine types based on the specific qualities of Sachitta, etc. Each of the specific births, Sammurchana, Garbha, and Uppapad, has Yonis with specific qualities of Sachitta, etc. These Yonis are as follows: "Sachitta, Sheet, Samvrita, and others, i.e., their opposites, Achitta, Ushna, and Vivrita, and the mixture of each, i.e., Sachitta-Achitta, Sheet-Ushna, and Samvrita-Vivrita, are the Yonis of birth." The specific transformation of the Atma's consciousness is called Chitta. The pudgala particles that exist with this Chitta are called Sachitta. Sheet is a type of Sparshaguna. It refers to both the substance and the quality, like Shukla, etc. Therefore, the substance with cold touch and weight is also called Sheet, i.e., the pudgala substance with abundant cold touch is called Sheet. That which is of good quality is Samvrita. Here, the innermost hidden component, i.e., the place in the form of a component that is not visible, is called Samvrita. All three have their opposites. 'Itra' also means 'other'. Those that exist with them are called 'Itra-Setra'. These 'Itra' are Achitta, Ushna, and Vivrita. The pudgala particles without consciousness are Achitta. The pudgala substance with abundant Sparshaguna is Ushna. The clearly visible component is Vivrita. The dualistic, i.e., both forms, is called Misra. Here, the mixture of both qualities is called Misra. Sachitta-Achitta mixed, Sheet-Ushna mixed, Samvrita-Vivrita mixed.
## The word 'Patteyam' in the Gatha is used to indicate the order in the mixture, so that it is understood that Sachitta is mixed with Achitta, not with Sheet, etc. Similarly, Sheet-Ushna and Samvrita-Vivrita are mixed.
## Doubt - In this way, there is no difference between Yoni and birth.
