A being who, while outwardly displaying speech, harbors deceit in the mind, is vigilant about his faults and considers it cleverness, binds the **Tirayu** (animal realm).
But a being who is simple-hearted, with little beginning and little attachment, enthusiastic in giving, and due to having subdued passions, possesses compassion, forgiveness, gentleness, etc., towards all beings, binds the **Manushyayu** (human realm).
The phrase "**Maksima Gunon**" in the verse means that binding to **Narakayu** (hell realm) occurs due to inferior qualities, and binding to **Devayu** (heavenly realm) occurs due to superior qualities. A being with moderate qualities binds the **Manushyayu**.
