## The Fifth Firm Granth

The **Tirthankara** nature binds the **thirty natural places** of the **name-karma** along with **nature**. This is the **inferior provincial binding** of the **Tirthankara** nature. Even in **hell**, the **Tirthankara** nature is bound, but in **heaven**, it is accepted by the **Anuttara** gods who have **inferior yoga**, because there is no such inferior yoga in **hell**. Therefore, the **inferior provincial binding** of the **Tirthankara** nature of the **right-seeing** being in **hell** is not mentioned. In **animal life**, the **Tirthankara** nature is not bound at all, and in **human life**, in the **first moment** of birth, the **two Tirthankara** **Manimahit** **name-karma** binds the **thirty natural places**. Therefore, due to the **lesser nature**, they get a **greater share**, and the **binding of the thirty natural places** along with the **Tirthankara** is only for the **restrained**, and there is also **greater yoga** there. Therefore, the **inferior provincial binding** of the **Tirthankara** nature is mentioned only for the gods who are bound by the **thirty natural places**.
The **inferior provincial binding** of **Devadik** and **Vaikriyhik** occurs in the **human** being born from **heaven** or **hell** at the time when they bind the **twenty-nine natural places** of the **name-karma** suitable for **heaven**. Because **gods** and **hell beings** do not bind these **natures** at all, and the **enjoying** **animal** beings bind them in the **first moment** of taking birth, but they bind only the **twenty-eight natural places** suitable for **heaven**. This gives them a **greater share** at the time of **distribution**. The same should be understood for the **human** being bound by the **twenty-eight natural places**. Therefore, the **inferior provincial binding** of these **four natures**, **Devadik** and **Vaikriyhik**, is mentioned for the **human** being bound by the **twenty-nine natural places**.
Except for the above **eleven natures**, the **inferior provincial binding** of the remaining **one hundred and six natures**...
