278/Go. Sa. Jeevanagar
Gatha 201-202
**Special Meaning:** The bodies of the four stationary beings - Prithivicayik, Apkayik, Agnicayik, and Vayukayik - the bodies of Kevalis, the bodies of Maharak, the bodies of Devas, and the bodies of Narakas, these eight types of bodies do not have Badar Nigod Jivas residing in them. Therefore, these eight types of bodies are considered A-pratisthit (not established). The remaining bodies of Vanaspatikayik, the bodies of Dvi-indriya, Tri-indriya, Chatur-indriya, and Pancha-indriya beings, and the bodies of humans, all these bodies are considered Prati-sthi-t (established) because Badar Nigod Jivas reside in them.
The shape of the stationary beings and the Sakayik beings is like a cluster of Masur (lentils), water droplets, needles, and flags.
**Gatha Meaning:** The shape of the four stationary beings, starting with Prithvi, is like a cluster of Masur (lentils), water droplets, needles, and flags. The bodies of Vanaspatikayik and Asakayik beings are of many types.
**Special Meaning:** The shape (structure) of the body of a Prithivicayik being is like a round Masur grain. The shape (structure) of the body of an Apkayik being is like a round water droplet with a pointed tip. The shape (structure) of the body of an Agnicayik being is like needles and has many facets. The shape (structure) of the body of a Vayukayik being is like a flag (banner) and is almost rectangular. The perception of these four stationary beings' bodies is like an innumerable fraction of a Dhanangula (a unit of measurement), which is not visible to the naked eye. What is visible to the senses is the collection of the bodies of many beings, starting with Prithvi. 'Tarunam' means Vanaspatikayik, which includes all plants and trees, including ordinary plants and microscopic plants. The shape (structure) of their bodies and the shape (structure) of the bodies of Dvi-indriya, Tri-indriya, Chatur-indriya, and Pancha-indriya beings are of many types, meaning they have an indefinite shape (structure). The perception of these bodies is like an innumerable fraction of a Dhanangula, a countable fraction of a Dhanangula, and a countable Dhanangula.
The Sampatari Jiva carries the burden of karma through its body. An example of this is:
**Gatha Meaning:** Just as a man carrying a load carries the load by carrying a Kavar (a basket), similarly, this Jiva carries the burden of karma by carrying the body as a Kavar.
