Gommatasara Karmakanda - 496
**Verse 542:**
A being with a gross body and a mind full of negligence is born in the Vaimanika Devas, which are death-causing. The Devas of the Sarvarthasiddhi Vimana are born in the human beings who are the ultimate body in the 15 Karmabhumis, which are death-causing. This is not the case elsewhere. However, the Devas up to the Sahasrarasvarga are born in the human beings of the Karmabhumis, in the Lavana-udadhi, the Kala-udadhi, the Uttarardha of the Swayambhu-raman-dvipa, the Sanji-paryapta-jalachara, the Sthalachara, and the Nabhachara-tiryancha, which are all in the Swayambhu-raman-samudra-varti.
**Verse 543:**
The Devas up to the Isanasvarga are born in the aforementioned human beings and tiryancha, as well as in the Badara-paryapta-prithvi, the Jalakaya, and the Ekendriya in the form of every plant. The statement about the Bhavanatrik-devas should be understood in the same way as the Saudharma-Isana. The only difference is that the Bhavanatrik-devas are not born in the human beings who are the 64 Shalaka-purushas, including the Tirthankaras. This is a brief description of the movement and arrival of beings in the four gatis. For detailed knowledge, one should refer to the Gati-Agatichoolika in the Dhavala Purana, Chapter 6.
**Verse 544:**
Further, the eight stanzas describe the eight Bandha-sthana of the Nama-karma in the 14 Marganas.
**Meaning:**
The Bandha-sthana of the Nama-karma are two in the Naraka-gati, 29 and 30, which are combined with the Tiryancha and the Manushya-gati. In the Tiryancha-gati, there are six Bandha-sthana from the beginning. In the Manushya-gati, there are all the Bandha-sthana. In the Deva-gati, there are four Bandha-sthana, which are 25, 26, 29, and 30, in the form of the four Prakruti.
**Special Meaning:**
In the Naraka-gati, there are two Bandha-sthana of the Nama-karma, which are 29 and 30. The beings of the Pancha-indriya-paryapta-tiryancha-gati and the Manushya-gati, combined with the 29 Prakruti, bind the first Bandha-sthana, which is the Pshthama-Maghavi-prithvitaka. The beings of the Pancha-indriya-paryapta-tiryancha, combined with the 29 Prakruti, or the 30 Prakruti with Udyota, bind the seventh Bandha-sthana, which is the Saptama-Maghava-prithvitaka. The binding of the Bandha-sthana of the Paryapta-Manushya-gati and the Tirthankara, combined with the 30 Prakruti, is as follows:
1. "Nirae Tisu-guti Bandha-dvaani." Pra. Pan. San. Nu. 493, Verse 419.
"Tiryam-ai Tevis Pan-vis Chhabbisam-visaa Va Tisuun Tisa Bandha." Pra. Pan. San. Pu. 494, Verse 421.
In the Manushya-gati, there are eight Bandha-sthana, which are 23, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 1, in the form of the eight Prakruti. In the Deva-gati, there are four Bandha-sthana, which are 25, 26, 29, and 30, in the form of the four Prakruti. Pra. Pan. San. 5.495.
