Gommatasara Karmakanda - 487
Now, the 41 basic Jiva-padas based on the place of Name-karma are stated in two verses:
"Riya Punna Panham, Badarasuhuma Taheva Patteya. Vilasani Sanni, Manuva Punna Apunna Ya." || 519 ||
"Samannatitthakevali, Uhayasamugdhaadaga Ya Ahara. Devaavi Ya Pajjattha, Idi Jipapada Hu Igidala." || 520 || Jummam.
Meaning: All Naraki Jivas are sufficient. Earth, water, fire, air, and ordinary plants, these five are both Badara and subtle, therefore these are 10. Each plant, two-sense, three-sense, four-sense, non-sentient five-sense, Tiryancha, and human, these are 17, both sufficient and insufficient, therefore there are 34 variations of these. And, Samanya-kevali, Tirthankara-kevali, and those who perform Samudghata, both Samanya and Tirthankara-kevali, Aharakashariri, and Trayana, these 6 are sufficient. Thus, there are 1-34+6=49 variations of Jivas. Therefore, these are called 'Jiva-padas'. These are based on the place of bondage of Name-karma, therefore they are also called Karma-padas.
Then, the place of bondage of Name-karma is stated in the Gunasthanas:
"Tevisan Panavisan, Chavvisan Atthavisamugatisan. Tisekatisamevam, Ekko Bandhi Dusedihimhi." || 521 ||
Meaning: The 23rd, 25th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st natural places of bondage of Name-karma are found up to the sixth part of A-purvakarana, as much as possible. And, the 1st natural, 8th place of bondage, is bound in the Upshama-Kshapaka series, from the first time of the seventh part of A-purvakarana Gunasthana to the last time of the subtle Samparaya Gunasthana.
