Gommatasara Karmakanda-345
It is found that those who have a bound lifespan of a Tiryancha and a human lifespan, and a enjoyed lifespan of a human lifespan, do not have the beginning of bondage of the Tirthankara nature for those who are unrestrained and have right faith. Those who are unrestrained and have four-stage seed-beings with a bound lifespan of a deva and a enjoyed lifespan of a human lifespan, do not become corrupted from right faith and fall into wrong faith. And, a lifespan of a enjoyed hell and a bound human lifespan, this type of single-fold lifespan of hell, when six months remain, there is no occurrence of wrong faith. Therefore, a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound hell lifespan, this type of single-fold lifespan occurs. Other types of changes in natures do not have the existence of 146 natures. And, for those who have an unbound lifespan, the existence of a enjoyed lifespan is not possible without the existence of another lifespan. Therefore, without a deva lifespan, a human lifespan, and a Tiryancha lifespan, there is a place of existence of 145 natures. There, it is known as a single-fold lifespan of a enjoyed hell, because that human with the existence of a bound hell lifespan and a Tirthankara nature, after dying, becomes a hell being, and until the end of (insufficient rest, purity, these three) internal mouths, there is the occurrence of wrong faith. There, because of having an unbound lifespan, there is no other existence without the existence of a enjoyed hell lifespan. That being has a place of existence of 145 natures. Other beings do not have this type of existence.
For those who have a bound lifespan, the second place of existence is to know 145 natures, excluding the two lifespans of enjoyed and bound, and the remaining two lifespans and the Tirthankara nature. Here, the term "fold" is used.
A enjoyed hell lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, a enjoyed hell lifespan and a bound human lifespan, a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound hell lifespan, a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound human lifespan, a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound deva lifespan, a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound hell lifespan, a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound human lifespan, a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound deva lifespan, a enjoyed deva lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, a enjoyed deva lifespan and a bound human lifespan, in this way, there are 12 folds. Among these, a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, and a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound human lifespan, these two folds are repetitive, because in this fold of a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, there is only the existence of a Tiryancha lifespan, not of any other lifespan. Similarly, in a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound human lifespan, it should be known.
Without the above repetitive folds, the remaining 10 folds remain. Among them, there is similarity between a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound hell lifespan, and a enjoyed hell lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan. Therefore, in both folds, because there is only the existence of a hell lifespan and a Tiryancha lifespan, both folds should be counted as one fold. Similarly, in a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound hell lifespan, and a enjoyed hell lifespan and a bound human lifespan, in a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, and a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound human lifespan, in a enjoyed deva lifespan and a bound Tiryancha lifespan, and a enjoyed Tiryancha lifespan and a bound deva lifespan, in a enjoyed deva lifespan and a bound human lifespan, and a enjoyed human lifespan and a bound deva lifespan, there is similarity. Therefore, one fold each should be counted. In this way, for those who have a bound lifespan with the existence of 145 natures, there are 5 folds to know.
