## Verse 148
**"They endure many kinds of suffering, such as carrying burdens, on the path of transmigration."** The suffering of the *tiryanch* path is clearly visible. Due to the influence of *maya*, the living being, after killing a *tiryanch* life, is born in the *tiryanch* realm and endures various kinds of suffering.
The *tiryanch* beings in the *tiryanch* path are infinite in number according to the *dravya* measure, and they are not removed from the infinite *avsarpinis* and *utsarpinis* in terms of time.
**Doubt:** Why are the *tiryanch* beings not removed from the infinite *avsarpinis* and *utsarpinis*?
**Solution:** Because here only the *utsarpini* and *avsarpinis* related to the past time are considered.
There are five types of *tiryanch*: *samanya tiryanch*, *panchendriya tiryanch*, *panchendriya tiryanch paryapta*, *panchendriya tiryanch yonini*, and *panchendriya tiryanch aparyapta* (labdhyaparyapta). We have already mentioned the number of *samanya tiryanch* above.
The *panchendriya tiryanch*, *panchendriya tiryanch paryapta*, *panchendriya tiryanch yonini*, and *panchendriya tiryanch aparyapta* are countless.
The difference between the *tiryanch* being and the *tiryanch* path is at least the time of *kshudrabhavgrahan* because the *tiryanch* being, after leaving the *tiryanch* path and being born in the *labdhyaparyapta* realm, stays for the time of *kshudrabhavgrahan* with *kadalidhat* and then is reborn in the *tiryanch* realm, the difference in the time of *kshudrabhavgrahan* is found. The maximum difference from the *tiryanch* path is found up to the time of *sagaropama shataprithaktva*, because there is no possibility for the *tiryanch* being to stay in the other paths for more than the time of *sagaropama shataprithaktva* after leaving the *tiryanch* realm. But the excellent difference of the four types of *panchendriya tiryanch* is the infinite time of *asankhyata pudgal parivartan* because after leaving the desired path and wandering in the undesired paths like *ekendriya* and *vikaleendriya* for the time of *asankhyata pudgal parivartan*, this difference in time is considered when born in the desired path.
There are five *gunasthanas* in the *tiryanch* realm: *mithyashti*, *sasadan samyagdristi*, *samyagmithyashti*, *asanyata samyagdristi*, and *sanyatasangrat*. Just as it is possible for the *bound ayushk* *asanyata samyagdristi* and *masadan samyagdristi* *gunasthan* beings to have *sadbhav* in the *aparyapta* time of the *tiryanch* path, it is not possible for the *samyagmithyashti* and *sanyatasangrat* to have *sadbhav* in the *aparyapta* time of the *tiryanch* path because there is a conflict between *samyagmithyashti* and *sanyatasangrat* with the *aparyapta* time. There are also five *gunasthanas* in the four types of *panchendriya tiryanch*, but in the *labdhyaparyapta* beings, except for one *mithyashti* *gunasthan*, other *gunasthanas* are impossible.
