________________ Tot 4541 310 108 living beings and moving beings i.e. two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, tiryañcai.e. beasts and birds having five - senses and also human living organisms. (See : the Tattvärthasūtra. Cha - 2. Sūtras-32, 33, 34, 35 and 36). All Sammūrochima human beings are born in fourteen types of impurities or excretion. The impurities are as under :(1) faeces. (2) urine. (3) cough (4) mucus (5) vomit (6) bile. (7) pus, (8) blood and flesh. (9) semen (10) welted particles of dried up semen (11) dead body. (12) woman-man copulation (13) the city gutter and (14) all impure places. The sammūrchima type of living organisms among the five non-moving, two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed and beasts and birds i.e. tiryanca having five senses, living organisms can take birth at any time and at any place. Some of them need faces, urine etc. Here the cosmozoic theory and the theory of spontaneous generation are refuted and disproved. Even scientists do not accept these theories. Now let us think what Greek philosophers say. According to them. living organisms were perhaps produced in water from sea-slimes under the effect of heat, sun and atmosphere. On seeing the generation of sammūrochima living organisms in sea-water, they perhaps concluded that the living organisms were originated from sea slimes or sea water. But they could not give reasons for their conclusion because it was only their inference and they were quite ignorant of the real fact. Franscesco Redi, the Italian physicist, performed an experiment. He took two jars. In both the jars he put flesh and fishes. He closed one jar in an air-tight manner and kept the other jar open. After a few days, he found that maggots were produced in the jar that had been kept open and no maggots were produced in the jar that had been kept closed. He believed that maggots were produced in the open jar because house-flies etc. had laid eggs on flesh and fishes in it. And there was truth in it. (And it was true) On open flesh, fishes and edible things house-flies etc. drop excretion. The edible things mix with excretion and chemical reaction takes place and when the mixture gets favourable atmosphere and temperature, sammürcchima living beings are born in it. They grow by getting nutrition from flesh etc. Sometimes mould is produced on edible substances put in a closed air-tight jar. Mould is produced because of favourable atmosphere and constant moisture. All these productions of living beings are regarded as sammūrochima births and all these places are among eighty-four hundred thousand types of birth-places (yonis) of production, stated in Jaina scriptures. As soon as flesh or blood of any type gets separated from the body, subtle micro-sammūrcachima living organisms are produced in it. It is no wonder. 78 AM \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ MMMM W Te 4511 3ich 108 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
