## Chapter 568: The Chapter of Living Beings
**Verses 526-535**
In the sixth earth, there is the Krshna Leshya, and in the seventh earth, there is the Param Krshna Leshya. || 5.26 ||
Among humans and animals, there are six Leshyas. There are three (inauspicious) Leshyas for the one-sensed and the disabled-sensed. There are four Leshyas for the non-sentient (five-sensed) and three inauspicious Leshyas for the sentient, namely Mithyashti, Sasadan, Samyagdrishti, and Sambadrishti. || 5.30 ||
For the Bhogabhumia, the Apyptik Samyagdrishti has three inauspicious Leshyas, namely Kapot, Neel, and Krshna, according to the rule. But in the Paryapt state, there are three auspicious Leshyas for both Samyagdrishti and Mithyashti. || 5.31 ||
The non-restrained have all six Leshyas. The three (Deshavirat, Pramattasanyat, and Apramattasanyat) have three auspicious Leshyas. Beyond that, there is only the Shukla Leshya. The fourteenth Gunasthan, Prayogkevali, is Aleshya, meaning without Leshya. || 5.32 ||
For those who have destroyed their Kshayas (Kshina Kshaya or Prakkshayee), the Leshya is said to be based on their previous Prajnapananaya. Or, due to the predominance of Yogapravritti, there is Leshya there. || 5.33 ||
Among the Bhavan and other Devas, the three (Bhavantrik) have Tejo (Peet) Leshya, the two (Soudharm and Aishan) have Peet Leshya, the two (Sanatkumar-Mahendra) have Peet and Padma Leshya, the six (Brahm, Brahmottar, Lantav, Kapishth, Shukra, Mahashukra) have Padma Leshya, the two (Shatar, Sahasrar) have Padma and Shukla Leshya, the thirteen (Manat, Pranat, Parana, Achyut, and nine Praiveyak) have Shukla Leshya, and the fourteen (nine Adisha and five Anuttar) have Param Shukla Leshya. || 5.30-535 ||
**Special Note:**
The Naraki beings have the most inauspicious Leshya. The inauspicious Kapot Leshya of the animals is even more inauspicious than the Kapot Leshya in the first Naraka. The Kapot Leshya in the second Naraka is even more inauspicious than that. In the upper part of the third Naraka, there is Kapot Leshya, and in the lower part, there is Neel Leshya. In the fourth Naraka, there is Neel Leshya. In the upper part of the fifth Naraka, there is Neel Leshya, and in the lower part, there is Krshna Leshya. In the sixth Naraka, there is Krshna Leshya, and in the seventh Naraka, there is Param Krshna Leshya. These Leshyas become progressively more and more inauspicious.
The Bhavanbasi-Vyantarjyotishi Devas have three inauspicious Leshyas, namely Krshna, Neel, and Kapot, in their Apypta state, and four Leshyas, namely Tejo (Peet), in their Paryapt state.
The one-sensed, two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed beings have three inauspicious Leshyas (Krshna, Neel, Kapot) due to the results of their Sambha Leshya.
The non-sentient five-sensed animals have Krshna, Neel, Kapot, and Peet Leshya, because the bondage of Devaayu is possible for the non-sentient five-sensed animals in their Paryapt state.
The sentient five-sensed animals and humans have only three Leshyas, namely Mithyashti, Sasadan, Samyagdrishti, and Samyagmithyashti, for the Asanyat Samyagdrishti beings.
The three, namely Sanyata, Pramattasanyat, and Apramattasanyat, have three auspicious Leshyas, namely Peet, Padma, and Shukla.
As soon as one takes a Vrat, the inauspicious Leshyas disappear, because the sins are gradually abandoned, both partially and completely.
From the fourth Gunasthan, A-purvakaran, to the thirteenth Gunasthan, Sayogkevali, there is only Shukla Leshya, but due to the progressive increase in purity, there is also a progressive increase in Shukla Leshya.
Due to the influence of the A-yogkevali's Yoga, the influence of Leshya also disappears, which is why the Prayogkevali is Aleshya, meaning without Leshya.
**Doubt:**
Why are there only three Leshyas (Krshna, Neel, Kapot) for the Pradi up to the fourth Gunasthan?
