"O Bhagavan! Do the Kriṣṇaleśyā (rightly-seeing) action-performers bind the hell-life, etc.?" "O Gautama! They do not bind the hell-life, nor the animal-life, they bind the human-life, they do not bind the god-life, and the non-action-performers, etc., the wrongly-seeing, bind all four lives. Similarly, understand for the blue and the pigeon-colored leśyā!"

"O Bhagavan! Do the Kriṣṇaleśyā rightly-seeing five-sensed animals bind the hell-life?" "O Gautama! They do not bind the hell-life, nor the animal-life, nor the human-life, nor the god-life, and the wrongly-seeing bind all four lives. Similarly, understand for the blue and the pigeon-colored leśyā."
"Just as it has been said for the five-sensed animal beings, so also understand for the humans."
Based on the above statement of the principle, Śrī Jīvavijaī and Śrī Jaisomasūrī have raised doubts in their respective commentaries, that the beings with the three leśyā, Kriṣṇā, etc., who are in the fourth stage of the soul, cannot be considered to bind the god-life. Therefore, in the fourth stage of the soul, instead of 77 types of karmas, only 76 types of karmas should be considered, excluding the god-life. This difference has not been resolved anywhere. The commentators have also left it as very difficult to understand. In the Gommatasāra Karmakāṇḍa, this doubt does not even have a place, because there is no insistence on accepting the text of the Bhagavatī. But for the karma-granthikas who accept the Bhagavatī sūtra, this doubt is not negligible.
1. The word "kriyāvādi" means "action-performing rightly-seeing" in the commentary.
