## 2) Go. Ma. Jeevakanda
Someone is grieving over the death of a loved one, or the burning of their home and family in a fire. In the human realm, this being endures various sorrows like hunger, thirst, etc., yet does not apply their intellect to Dharma and does not abandon their attachments to home and business. Today, someone is wealthy, but tomorrow they are seen as poor, and vice versa. A king becomes a servant, and a servant becomes a king. An enemy becomes a friend, like how Vibhishana became a friend of Ramachandraji. A friend becomes an enemy, like how Vibhishana became an enemy of Ravana. All this variability arises due to the ripening of karmas, both virtuous and non-virtuous. Even witnessing and experiencing all this, this being does not become detached from the world, the body, and enjoyments. This is truly astonishing.
Although there are countless humans, the number of "Labdhyaparyapt" humans is immeasurable. Therefore, the number of ordinary humans can be calculated by multiplying the square root of a fingertip by its cube root. The result obtained is then used to divide the "Jagshreni" by the "Rupaadik" humans and the "Rupaadik" humans who are not "Labdhyaparyapt". This means that the quotient obtained by dividing the "Jagshreni" by the product of the square root and cube root of a fingertip is one more than the number of ordinary humans. Subtracting the number of "Paryapt" humans and women from this gives the number of "Labdhyaparyapt" humans.
**Doubt:**
- Why is "Rupa" projected?
**Solution:**
- Since the "Jagani" is a quantity of "Kritayugma", and humans are "Tejojarupa", "Rupa" is projected into it.
**Gatha 143:**
The maximum duration of a being's continuous stay in the human realm is 47 "Purvakoti" plus three "Payog" units. A being born in the human realm from the "Pravivaksit" Paryaya, who has wandered through the three Vedas of the "Karmabhoomij" humans for 47 "Purvakoti" and has given donations or approved of donations, is born among the "Bhogabhoomij" humans who have three "Patyopam" units of "Prayusthiti". This being attains this maximum duration.
The minimum duration of a human's stay in the human realm is until the "Kshudrabhavgrahan" time. This is because a human leaving the human realm and being born in the "Tiryachgati" realm, staying there until the "Kshudrabhav" time, and then being reborn in the human realm, experiences this minimum duration.
The maximum duration of a human's stay in the human realm is until the "Prasankhyat" "Pudgalparivartan" units of time. This is because a human leaving the human realm and being born in the "Tiryachgati" realm with one sense organ, etc., and wandering for a time equal to the "Prasankhyat"th part of the "Pravali" units of "Pudgalparivartan", experiences this maximum duration.
