**168**
If a Tiryancha (animal) has unwavering Samyagdristi (right faith), it binds the Devayau (divine life). This means that the purity of the fourth Gunasthan (stage of spiritual progress) cannot be the cause of binding to the excellent Manushayau (human life).
**Shatak**
Now, let's consider the binding of the excellent state of Tiryanchayu (animal life) in the second Sasadan Gunasthan (stage of spiritual progress). The second Sasadan Gunasthan occurs when the soul, after vomiting Samyaktva (right faith), turns towards Mithyatva (false faith). Therefore, compared to Mithyadristi (false faith) which is directed towards the Samyaktva Gun (quality of right faith), Sasadan Samyagdristi (right faith) which is turned away from the Samyaktva Gun, does not have greater purity. This is why the excellent state of Tiryanchayu cannot be bound to Sasadan Samyagdristi.
In this way, after explaining in general terms how the Tirthankara, Aharak, and Devayau bind the excellent state, and how Mithyadristi binds the remaining 116 types of excellent states, the next verse will explain in detail which types of excellent states are bound by Mithyadristi beings in the four gatis (paths of existence).
