## Chapter 256-258
## Pogamargga/337
The Gommatasara Karmakanda commentary provides a triangular diagram. This diagram proves that the 'day of the great annihilation' (**De Dagurbahani**) is always present, but the **Audarik** body, **Vaikriyik** body, and **Paharaka** body all experience the 'day of the great annihilation' at the end of their respective lifetimes.
**For further details, refer to the Gommatasara Karmakanda commentary on verses 642 and 143.**
**Verse 256:**
> Those born in Devakuru or Uttar Kuru, with a lifespan of three **palyopamas**, experience the accumulation of the **Audarik** body at the end of their life, whether it be their first or second life.
**Verse 257:**
> Those who have crossed the twenty-two oceans and are born in the **Parana-Achyuta** heaven experience the accumulation of the **Vaikriyik** body. This is because the **utkrista** (excellent) yoga is rarely found elsewhere.
**Verse 258:**
> Those born in the seventh earth as a **naraki** (hell being) experience the accumulation of the **Tejas** body in their second life. Those who are born in the seventh earth as a **naraki** after many lifetimes in hell experience the accumulation of the **Karma** body at the end of their life.
**Explanation:**
* **Verse 256** states that both humans and **tiryanch** (non-human beings) born in Devakuru and Uttar Kuru with a lifespan of three **palyopamas** are masters of the **Audarik** body. However, the **Dhavala** commentary (14, p. 368, Sutra 418) states that only humans are masters of this body. The relevant Sutra is:
> "**Annadara** (human) born in Uttar Kuru or Devakuru, with a lifespan of three **palyopamas**."
* The verse mentions mastery at both the end of the first and second life, but the **Dhavala** commentary (14, Sutra 426) only mentions mastery at the end of the first life. The relevant Sutra is:
> "At the end of his life, he becomes the master of the **Poraliy** body."
* **Verse 257** mentions the mastery of the **Vaikriyik** body but does not specify the time. The **Dhavala** commentary (14, p. 413, Sutra 443) states that the mastery occurs at the end of the life. The relevant Sutra is:
> "At the end of his life, he becomes the master of the **Beuns** (**Vaikriyik**) body."
