## The Fifth Karma Granth
251
**Special Meaning:** The term "tiriduganitamatma" refers to the seven hells, which are the lowest sections of the three natures: *tiryanch* (animal), *tiyanchan* (human), and *neech* (low caste). This is explained as follows: When a being in the seventh hell, while performing the three actions of *yathpravritti* (right action), *adi* (beginning), and *karan* (cause), reaches the final stage of *anivrittikaran* (cessation), they experience the lowest level of bondage of these three natures. These three natures are inauspicious, and only the completely pure soul experiences their lowest level of bondage. Therefore, among those bound by these natures, the being in the seventh hell is considered particularly pure. Because, with such purity, other beings would experience bondage in the human realm or higher castes. This is why the being in the seventh hell is considered to have experienced the lowest level of bondage of the three natures: *tiryanch*, *tiyanchan*, and *neech*.
The lowest level of bondage of the *tirthankara* (liberated soul) nature is experienced by the *avirata samyagdristi* (one who has attained perfect knowledge) being, as described in the *Jinamvirya* text. However, it is important to understand that this is an auspicious nature, and the lowest level of bondage of auspicious natures occurs due to *sanklesha* (attachment). Therefore, when an *avirata samyagdristi* being, who is bound to hell, is about to experience *mithyatva* (false belief), they experience the lowest level of bondage of the *tirthankara* karma. Although the bondage of the *tirthankara* nature occurs from the fourth to the eighth *gunasthan* (stages of spiritual development), the lowest level of bondage of auspicious natures occurs due to *sanklesha*, and this *sanklesha* only occurs in the case of an *avirata samyagdristi* being who is about to experience *mithyatva* while bound to the *tirthankara* nature. This is why the *avirata samyagdristi* human being is considered to experience the lowest level of bondage of the *tirthankara* nature. The *tirthankara* nature does not experience bondage in the *tiryanch* realm, which is why a human being is mentioned here. The human being who, before experiencing the bondage of the *tirthankara* nature...
