## Karmagrantha Part Four, Chapter 66
**Matigyan, Shrutigian, Avadhi-shtik, and Aupashmik, along with the three Samyak-sth and Padma-Shulk-Peshya, these nine Margnaas are considered to have two Jeevasthanas in the Aparaapt (imperfect) state.**
This is because, in an Asanto (non-sentient being), Samyak-tva (perfect conduct) is not possible. And without Samyak-tva, the existence of Matigyan, Shrutigian, etc. is impossible. Therefore, except for Sanjnis (sentient beings), Padma or Shulk Leshya (types of karma) do not have any effect in other beings.
**Matigyan, Shrutigian, and Avadhi-shtik are considered in the Aparaapt state because some beings are born with these three types of knowledge.**
A being who attains Kshayik-Samyak-tva (perfect conduct leading to liberation) after binding their Ayus (life span) can be reborn in any of the four Gatis (states of existence) according to their bound Ayus. This is why Kshayik-Samyak-tva is considered in the Aparaapt state.
**Kshayopa-samyak-tva is considered in this state because future Tirthankaras and others, when they are born as humans after leaving the Deva (divine) and other Gatis, possess Kshayopa-samyak-tva.**
**Regarding Aupashmik-Samyak-tva, it should be understood that when an Aupashmik-Samyak-tva being completes their Ayus, they attain the eleventh Gunasthan (stage of spiritual progress).**
However, this does not contradict this Karmagrantha. Because in the original Pancha-Sangraha (five collections), only one Jeevasthan is mentioned in Vibhang-gyan (knowledge of differentiation). This is based on a specific perspective.
Therefore, from another perspective, two Jeevasthanas are also considered in Vibhang-gyan. This has been clarified in the commentary of the 27th verse of the Shramalaya-giri-murin.
It is written that Tri-bhang-gyan (three-fold knowledge of differentiation) does not arise in Sanjnis with five senses, Tiryanchas (animals), and humans in the Aparaapt state. And those Asanjnis (non-sentient beings) who die and are reborn as Narakas (hell beings) in the Ratna-Prabha Narak (hell), also do not have Vibhang-gyan in the Aparaapt state.
From this perspective, one Jeevasthan is mentioned in Vibhang-gyan, which is the Sanjni (sentient being). However, from a general perspective, two Jeevasthanas should be understood. Because those Sanjnis who die and are reborn as Devas (divine beings) have Vibhang-gyan even in the Aparaapt state.
