Gatha meaning - In the first time of being born in hell, animal, human and divine realms, Maya, pride and greed arise. Or there is no such rule. || 268 ||
Gatha 286
From effort, anger,
Special meaning - In the first time of being born in hell, the anger kshaya arises. In the first time of being born as a human, the rule of the pride kshaya arising is seen. In the first time of being born as an animal, the rule of the Maya kshaya arising is seen. In the first time of being born as a god, the greed kshaya arises. This is the traditional teaching of the acharyas. 'In the first time of being born in hell, human, animal and divine realms, anger, pride, Maya and greed arise respectively.
Doubt - In the first time of being born as a god, do the other kshayas not arise except greed?
Solution - This would be correct if the same meaning was intended here. But in the context, the author of the Churnisutra means that there is no such rule in the first time of being born as a god. In general, all kshayas do not arise there. In the first time of being born as a god, all kshayas are possible.
Doubt - In the Jivasthan or other texts, it is said that the time of death is less than the time of the kshayas arising in the beings who have experienced the kshayas. Why is this not accepted here?
Solution - No, because according to the meaning of the Churnisutra, it is not possible to accept that kind of time.
According to Shri Bhootbali Acharya, the rule of greed etc. kshayas arising is seen in the first time of being born in the divine realm etc. But according to Shri Yativrishabhacharya's Churnisutra, there is no such rule. As is clear from the above statements of Ghavla and Jayadhavla.
This gatha has been created according to Shri Bhootbali's statement, but in the gatha, the words 'Ashiyamowa' also indicate the opinion of Shri Yativrishabhacharya. Thus, there are two different opinions of two great acharyas. It cannot be said which of these two is correct, because the influence of Shrutakeli is present at present.
