## Gatha 200
## Kayamamnga/277
In the vast majority of the Lokas, the As-Nali exists just as the core wood exists within a tree. This As-Nali is one Raju long, one Raju wide, and fourteen Raju high, with an area of (1x14x14) 14 Dhanraju. The Lokas are 343 Dhanraju. Within them, only 14 Dhanraju are the As-Nali, meaning that only Asajiva are found within it. The remaining (343-14) 326 Dhanraju contain only Sthavar Jeeva, not Tras. The Atma-Pradesha of Jeevas who have experienced Uppapad-Maran-Shantika-Samudghat and Kevali-Samudghat are definitely found within these 326 Dhanraju.
**Doubt:** During Uppapad, how do Tras Jeevas remain outside the As-Nali?
**Solution:** Some Vayu-Kayika Jeevas reside in the Vatavala outside the Shram-Nali. They have completed the lifespan of their Dwi-Indriya and other As-Paryaya. At the end of their lifespan, they die and the Tras-Karma arises, making them Tras. However, it takes time to reach the Vas-Nali. This is the first moment of Vigrah-Gati. Thus, a Shram Jeeva remains outside the As-Nali during the Uppapad stage of the first moment of their lifespan, having left the As-Nali and been born in the Vas-Nali.
**Doubt:** Why do Tras Jeevas go to the outer part of the As-Nali during Maran-Antik-Samudghat?
**Solution:** Some As Jeevas residing in the As-Nali bind the Vayu-Sthavar-Kaya to be born in the Tanu-Vatavala. They perform Maran-Antik-Samudghat at the end of their As-Paryaya lifespan to touch the Tanu-Vatavala, their birthplace in the next life. This causes the Atma-Pradesha of that Vas Jeeva to extend from the As-Nali to the Tanu-Vatavala. Thus, the Atma-Pradesha of Tras Jeevas are located outside the As-Nali.
**Doubt:** In which stages of Kevali-Samudghat does the Atma-Pradesha remain outside the As-Nali?
**Solution:** During the five moments of the Kapata, Pratar, Lok-Purn, Sankuchit, and again Pratar and Kapata stages, the Atma-Pradesha of Kevali Bhagwan remain outside the As-Nali. The nature of Kevali-Samudghat has been explained earlier.
Just like plants, other Jeevas also have the distinction of being Prati-Sthit and A-Prati-Sthit. The bodies of the four Sthavar-Kayikas, namely Prithvi, etc., the bodies of Kevalis, the bodies of Aharak, the bodies of Devas and Narakas are A-Prati-Sthit. The bodies of the remaining Jeevas are Prati-Sthit due to Nigoda.
