## Second Karma Granth
### 83
It has already been stated that these (eight karmas) arise when a being takes a new body from the womb, and at that time, the five higher **guna sthana** (stages of spiritual development) are not present. Therefore, the eight karmas mentioned in the **vaikriya ashtak** (eight types of karmas) arise and cease at the end of the fourth **guna sthana**, and do not arise in the fifth **guna sthana**.
**Doubt:** Both humans and animals in the fifth **guna sthana**, upon attaining **vaikriya labdhi** (the ability to create a **vaikriya** body), can create a **vaikriya** body and **vaikriya** limbs. Similarly, a **muni** (ascetic) in the sixth **guna sthana** who has attained **vaikriya labdhi** can also create a **vaikriya** body and **vaikriya** limbs. At that time, both those humans in the sixth **guna sthana** and animals in the fifth **guna sthana** will definitely have the **vaikriya** body and **vaikriya** limbs **karma** arising. Therefore, the **vaikriya** body and **vaikriya** limbs **karma** should be counted among the karmas that can arise in the fifth and sixth **guna sthana**.
**Solution:** This discussion of arising karmas is in relation to gods and hell beings, who have the **vaikriya** body and **vaikriya** limbs **karma** arising throughout their lives. However, humans and animals may have these two karmas arising for a period of time, but not all humans and animals. Therefore, even though these two karmas can arise in the sixth **guna sthana** in relation to humans and the fifth **guna sthana** in relation to animals, they are not mentioned here.
In other words, humans and animals have a **uttarvaikriya** body (a body that arises from **guna**-based **pratyaya** (perception) and **labdhi** (attainment)), and this can also happen to those who are constantly in the **samyak tvī** (right faith) cycle, such as **chakravarti** (universal monarch). **Vishnu Kumar** and other **munis** also attained **labdhi** (attainment), and the sixth **karma granth** also mentions the arising of **vaikriya** in the requirements for **yoga**. However, here, the **uttarvaikriya** arising from **guna**-based **pratyaya** and **labdhi**...
