Appendix-3
There is a difference of opinion regarding the number of *prakritis* that are destroyed. Some believe that 13 *prakritis* are destroyed, while others believe that 12 *prakritis* are destroyed. Those who believe in the destruction of 13 *prakritis* explain their view as follows: At the time of death of a *tad-bhav* *moksha-gami*, thirteen *prakritis* including *anupurvi* remain in their *gatti* form, and except for the *tirthankara* *prakriti*, the remaining twelve *prakritis* remain in their *sat* form. The reason for this is that the thirteen *prakritis* that are obtained along with the *manushya-gati* are: *udaya*, *vipaki*, *manushya-ayu*, *kshetra-vipaki*, *manushya-anupurvi*, *jiva-dhipati*, the remaining nine *prakritis*, and one of the two *vedaniya* (either *sukha* or *duhkha*), *uttama-gotra*. These thirteen *prakritis* are obtained by the *samyav-moksha-gami* at the time of death and are not destroyed at the time of death. Therefore, at the time of death of a *tad-bhav* *moksha-gami*, thirteen *prakritis* remain in their *gatti* form and the other twelve *prakritis* remain in their *sat* form.
However, those who believe in the destruction of twelve *prakritis* at the time of death of a *kevali* in the fourteenth *gunasthan* argue that *manushya-anupurvi* is destroyed at the time of death because its function is to cause *udaya*. The *prakritis* that cause *udaya* do not have *sthiti-bhuta-samkrame* (the ability to remain in their *sthiti-bhuta* form), so at the time of death, they are found in their own form, which means that their *sat* is destroyed at the time of death. But all four *anupurvi* are *kshetra-vipaki*, so they arise only when the *mati* is made for another *bhav*. Therefore, they cannot arise in the *bhav* of the *jiva*, and since they cannot arise, *manushya-anupurvi* is destroyed at the time of death of the *ayogi* *kevali*.
In this difference of opinion, most believe that 72 *prakritis* are destroyed at the time of death of an *ayogi* *kevali* in the penultimate *gunasthan* and 13 *prakritis* are destroyed at the time of death. The commentary on the *panchama-karma-grantha* also states the same: 72 + 13. And in the *go-karma-kanda-gatha* 341, it is also written: " *udayagata-grahana-teral-charimhi-vochchhinna* ", meaning that the twelve *prakritis* that cause *udaya* and one *manushya-anupurvi*, a total of thirteen *prakritis*, are destroyed at the time of death of an *ayogi* *kevali*.
In short, this is the explanation of the *kshaya-shreni*.
