Gapa 730
Palap/783
A being who dies according to the *leshya* of a woman attains *devagati* (heavenly realm), and in that *devagati*, within an insufficient period, attains the second *upasama* *samyaktvam* (perfect knowledge). ||730||
**Special Meaning:** The only reason for a being to go to the heavens is that such a being does not die in the *upasama* category of *abaddha* *prayushka* (unbound *prayushka*), and even if there is a *prayubandha* (bond of *prayushka*), according to the rule, such a being can only have a *devayu* (heavenly lifespan), because if there is a bond of *naraka* (hell), *tiryanch* (animal realm), or *manushya* (human realm) *prayu* (lifespan), then it is impossible for that being to ascend the category or attain *samyama* (self-control) (including *pama* *samyama*, *desh* *samyama*, and *sangam* *samyama*). Therefore, such a being can only attain a *devayu* (heavenly lifespan) in any situation (before death) except for a *sattva* *manushyayu* (human lifespan with good qualities), not any other. Therefore, it is said that such a being goes only to the heavens.
**Question:** From which *gunasthan* (stage of spiritual development) does the second *upasama* *samyaktvam* arise?
**Answer:** It can arise from any *gunasthan* from the *asanyata* *samyaktvam* (uncontrolled perfect knowledge) to the *apramatta* *samyata* (perfectly controlled perfect knowledge).
**Question:** What is the second *upasama* *samyaktvam*?
**Answer:** The *upasama* *samyaktvam* that arises from the *kshaya* *upasama* *samyaktvam* (perfect knowledge of destruction) while ascending the *upasama* category is called the second *upasama* *samyaktvam*.
**Question:** Where exactly does the second *upasama* *samyaktvam* occur?
**Answer:** In two places: in the sufficient *manushya* *gati* (human realm) and in the *nirvrita* *aparyapta* *devagati* (heavenly realm with insufficient merit).
**Question:** Can a being with the second *upasama* *samyaktvam* attain *samadhan* (liberation) if six *pravali* (stages of spiritual development) remain within the period of the second *upasama* *samyaktvam*?
**Answer:** Yes, but this is according to the teachings of the *Chuni Sutra* (written by *Yativrishabha* *Acharya*) which is based on *kashaya* *praabhut* (influence of passions). However, according to the teachings of *Bhagavan* *Bhutbali*, a being who has descended from the *upasama* category does not attain the *samadhan* *gunasthan* (stage of spiritual development). In the absence of *prajna* (wisdom), both *ubhayaman* (both extremes) and *kevali* *sannidhi* (nearness to liberation) are to be collected.
