## The Sixfold Division of the Universe and the Karma Body
**Chapter 1, Section 1, Verse 60**
"The *āhārakakāya yoga* and *āhārakamishrakāya yoga* are only attained by those who are *prāmmatta* (distracted) and *samyata* (restrained) with *ṛddhi* (supernatural powers). || 59 || Now, to explain the nature of the *kārmmaṇakāya* (karma body) and its owner, the following sūtra is stated: *Kammaikāya jōgō viggahagah samāvaṇṇāṇam kevalīṇam vā samugdhādagadāṇam* || 60 || The *kārmmaṇakāya yoga* is attained by those who have achieved *vigraha gati* (the motion of the karma body) and by the *kevali* (omniscient) who have achieved *samudghāta* (expansion of the soul). || 60 ||
The motion that occurs for the attainment of a new body is called *vigraha gati*. Alternatively, the word *vigraha* also means "crookedness". Therefore, the motion that occurs with *vigraha*, i.e., with crookedness (with a bend), is called *vigraha gati*. Those who have achieved *vigraha gati* have *kārmmaṇakāya yoga*. The *kārmmaṇakāya* is the seed-like body from which all other bodies are born. *Yoga* is the pulsation of the soul's regions due to the *vacaṇavarggaṇā* (speech-group), *manōvarggaṇā* (mind-group), and *kāyavarggaṇā* (body-group). The *yoga* that arises from the *kārmmaṇakāya* is called *kārmmaṇakāya yoga*. It is present in those who are in *vigraha gati*.
**Chapter 26**
A being's motion from one state to another is of four types: *iṣu gati*, *pāṇimuktā gati*, *lāngalikā gati*, and *gōmūtrikā gati*. *Iṣu gati* is the motion without a bend, like an arrow released from a bow. This motion takes one moment. *Pāṇimuktā gati* is the motion with one bend, like the motion of an object thrown obliquely from the hand. This motion takes two moments. *Lāngalikā gati* is the motion with two bends, like the two bends of a plow. This motion takes three moments. *Gōmūtrikā gati* is the motion with three bends, like the multiple bends of a cow's urine while walking. This motion takes four moments. Of these, *kārmmaṇakāya yoga* is present in all three motions except *iṣu gati*. The series of sky regions that exist above, below, and diagonally from the region where a being is located is called a *śreṇī*. Beings move through this *śreṇī*. A being in *vigraha gati* has a maximum of three bends, because there is no place where more than three bends are required to reach.
*Samudghāta* is the expansion of the soul's regions beyond the body without leaving the original body. *Kevala samudghāta* is the expansion of the soul's regions upwards, downwards, and diagonally to equalize the uneven state of the *aghātiya karma* (non-violent karma) of the *kevali* (omniscient). This is completed within eight moments. Of these, four moments are spent in the expansion of the soul's regions, and the next four moments are spent in their contraction. During the *kapātarūpa samudghāta* (expansion of the soul in the form of a lid), there is *audārikamishrakāya yoga*, and during the subsequent *pratar* (intermediate state) and *lōkapūraṇa* (filling of the world), there is *kārmmaṇakāya yoga*.
Now, to explain the knowledge of *kāyayoga* in the *guṇasthāna* (stages of development), the next four sūtras are stated.
