Even if one has not bound the lifespan, they can bind the Tirthankara nature. If a human being binds the Tirthankara nature, they will attain liberation or the third existence. Their second existence will be spent in hell or in the celestial realm. If a human being with right faith who binds the Tirthankara nature goes to hell, they will only go to the first hell. Although one can become a Tirthankara even after escaping the second and third hells, the humans born there become wrong faith at the time of death, and as long as they remain wrong faith, the inflow of the Tirthankara nature's realms remains closed. It resumes upon attaining right faith. The Tirthankara nature is such that once it begins, its inflow continues uninterrupted.
