## Shataka
The **bhaura sadha** (dawn) state is being explained here. It is being clarified that the **igadhigalprithvakodi** (earth-based) one-sensed and multi-sensed beings bind the **ekapurva** (one-previous) koti (category) of **ayukarma** (life-span karma) as their highest state. The **asangya** (non-conscious) **paryaptak** (fully developed) beings bind the highest state of all four **ayukarma** (life-span karma) as **palyo** (life-span) **asankhyat** (innumerable) **bhagapraman** (fractional measure) - **palyasankhya** (innumerable life-spans) **auchou** (in the form of) **amana** (measure).
The reason for the binding of the aforementioned highest state of **ayukarma** (life-span karma) for one-sensed and multi-sensed beings is that they, upon death, are born only in the **tiryanch** (animal) or **manushya** (human) realms. They cannot be born as **deva** (gods) or **naraka** (hell beings) after death. And even within the **tiryanch** (animal) and **manushya** (human) realms, they are born only in **karmabhumij** (karma-based) realms, not in **bhogabhumij** (enjoyment-based) realms. This is why they bind the **ekapurva** (one-previous) koti (category) of **ayukarma** (life-span karma) as their highest state.
The **asangya** (non-conscious) **panchendriya** (five-sensed) beings, upon death, can be born in any of the four realms. This allows them to bind any of the four **ayukarma** (life-span karma). However, the rule is that the **karmabhumij** (karma-based) realm for humans is only humans, and for animals, it is only animals. For gods, it is **bhavanavasi** (dwelling in mansions) and **vyantar** (intermediate) gods, and for hell beings, it is only the first three **pathar** (divisions) of hell. Therefore, only a fraction of their **palyo** (life-span) - **asankhyat** (innumerable) **bhagapraman** (fractional measure) - binds **ayukarma** (life-span karma).
**1. The measure of one previous is explained as follows:**
> **Prithvasma u parimanam samari khal hoti sayamahasasai. Ppanam cha sahasaa baudhadhava basakoti nam.**
> - **Sarvarthasiddhi** (Complete Fulfillment) - **Manar Lal** (Manar Lal) - One previous is equal to 56 billion years.
**2. In **Go. Karmakanda** (Karma Section) **Ma. 538 to 543**, it is explained which beings, upon death, are born in which realm...
