The five astikayas, beginning with the naraka, are the 173 categories of beings, including the tiryancha, manushya, and deva, which are named and categorized. They cause the destruction of the sat (true) and the creation of the asat (false). Just as the ocean, being the ocean, does not experience the creation of the asat or the destruction of the sat, but the waves, carried and purified by the wind from the four directions, cause the creation of the asat and the destruction of the sat, so too, the jiva, being the jiva, does not experience the destruction of the sat or the creation of the asat, but the naraka, tiryancha, manushya, and deva categories, which arise in succession, cause the destruction of the sat and the creation of the asat.
