In the six realms, the living beings are found in fourteen stages of development:
[1, 1, 27.
In the subtle and gross saṃpārāya-praviṣṭa-śuddhi-saṃyata, there are the stages of upaśamaka and kṣapaka. In the subtle saṃpārāya-praviṣṭa-śuddhi-saṃyata, there are the stages of upaśamaka and kṣapaka. In the upaśānta-kaṣāya-vītarāga-chhadmastha, kṣīṇa-kaṣāya-vītarāga-chhadmastha, sayogika-kevali and ayogika-kevali, these fourteen stages are found. || 27 ||
Now, to investigate the stages of development in the realm of gods, the following sūtra is said:
14]
Deva ca su dvāsu atthi micchāiṭṭi sāsaṇasammāiṭṭhi sammāmicchāiṭṭhi asanjadassammāiṭṭhiti || 28 ||
Gods are found in four stages of development: mithyā-dṛṣṭi, sāsa-dāna-samyag-dṛṣṭi, samyag-mithyā-dṛṣṭi and asan-yata-samyag-dṛṣṭi. || 28 ||
Now, to explain the meaning of the previous sūtras in detail, four sūtras are said:
Trikṣā suddha aiṃdiyapphuḍi jāva asanipañcidia tti. || 29 ||
From the one-sense being to the non-conscious five-sense being, there are pure tiryanchas. || 29 ||
Those who have one sense of touch are called one-sense beings. Those who are non-conscious and have five senses are called non-conscious five-sense beings. The five types of one-sense beings, the three types of विकलेन्द्रिय, and the non-conscious five-sense beings, these living beings are found only in the realm of tiryanchas. This is the meaning of the word "śuddha" used in the sūtra.
Thus, after explaining the pure tiryanchas, the following sūtra is said to explain the mixed tiryanchas:
Trikṣā missa saṇimicchāiṭṭhipphuḍi jāva sanjadāsanjadā ti. || 30 ||
From the five-sense being with mithyā-dṛṣṭi to the saṃyata-asan-yata stage of development, there are mixed tiryanchas. || 30 ||
The tiryanchas have similarities with the living beings in the other three realms in terms of their mithyā-dṛṣṭi, sāsa-dāna-samyag-dṛṣṭi, samyag-mithyā-dṛṣṭi and asan-yata-samyag-dṛṣṭi stages of development. Therefore, the tiryancha living beings are called mixed with the living beings of the other three realms up to the fourth stage of development. Further, in terms of the saṃyama-asan-yata qualities, the tiryanchas have similarities only with the humans. Therefore, the tiryanchas up to the fifth stage of development are called mixed with the humans.
Now, to explain the similarities and differences in the stages of development of humans, the following sūtra is said:
Maṇussa missa micchāiṭṭhipphuḍiṃ jāva sanjadāsanjadā ti. || 31 ||
Humans are mixed from the mithyā-dṛṣṭi stage of development to the saṃyata-asan-yata stage of development. || 31 ||
