Gatha 524-526
Dying with the best parts, Sanatkumar Mahendra is born in the last layer of heaven, in the Chakra-named Indraka Vimana, among the bound Vimanas. ||522|| Dying with the worst parts of Pitaleśya, Saudharma Iśāna is born in the first Indraka Vimana called Ritu, or in the bound Vimanas related to it. Dying with the middle parts of Pitaleśya, they are born from the second Indraka Vimana called Vimala, up to the Valabhadra Indraka Vimana in the second last layer of Sanatkumar Mahendra heaven. ||5.33||
Special Meaning- How is it known that the middle eight parts of the 26 types of Leśya, i.e. 26 parts, are the cause of the lifespan bond?
Solution- "Aṣṭābhiḥ prapakaḥ madhyamena parināmena āyubandhnāti" i.e. the text says that the middle results, by means of the eight parts, bind the lifespan. This is the teaching of Pārṣva. The remaining 18 parts are for special movement or for special increase of merit and demerit. It is also known from this that the middle results are due to their own appropriate lifespan bond. Lifespan is obtained from the rise of karma. Therefore, Leśya is the cause of obtaining movement.
