[36] In the six realms, the abode of the living beings is described in the **Chakkhandagama**.
[1, 1, 102] A being who experiences itself as a female is called a **Strivedi**. According to the **nirukti** (etymology), "**Puruguṇeṣu purubhogeṣu ca śete iti puruṣaḥ**" (one who sleeps in excellent qualities and enjoyments is a man). Or, one who desires a woman is called a man, and the being who experiences this is called a **Puruṣavedi**. One who is neither a woman nor a man is called a **napumsaka**. Or, one who desires both a woman and a man is called a **napumsaka**, and the being who experiences this is called a **Napumsakavedi**. Those beings whose suffering arising from the three types of **vedas** has been eradicated are called **Apagatavedi**.
Now, to explain the possible **guṇasthāna** (state of qualities) etc. of beings with **vedas**, the next **sutra** (aphorism) is:
**Itthiveda purisavedā asannimicchāitṭipphahuḍi jāva aṇiyatṭi ti || 102 ||**
Beings with **Striveda** and **Puruṣavedi** are from the **Asannimicchā** (state of non-awareness) **mithyādṛṣṭi** (false belief) to the **Anivṛttikaraṇa** (state of non-return) **guṇasthāna**. || 102 ||
Now, to explain the existence of **Napumsakavedi**, the next **sutra** is:
**Naavansayavedā eindaiapphaḍi jāva aṇiyādi ti || 103 ||**
Beings with **Napumsakavedi** are from the **Ekaindriya** (one-sense) to the **Anivṛttikaraṇa** **guṇasthāna**. || 103 ||
Now, to explain the beings without **vedas**, the next **sutra** is:
**Teṇa paramavagadavedā ceti || 104 ||**
Beyond the **Anivṛttikaraṇa** **guṇasthāna**, all beings are without **vedas**. || 104 ||
Here, the absence of **vedas** beyond the **savad** (conscious) part of the ninth **guṇasthāna** should be understood as the absence of **bhāvasaved** (feeling-vedas), not **dravya-ved** (substance-vedas); because, **dravya-ved** remains even further.
Now, to explain the **vedas** in the **mārgaṇā** (hell beings), the next **sutra** is:
**Neraia cadasu hāṇesu suddha ṇasayavedā || 105 ||**
Hell beings are purely (only) **Napumsakavedi** in all four **guṇasthāna**. || 105 ||
To explain the **vedas** in the **tiryanch** (animal) realm, the next **sutra** is:
**Tirikkhā suddha ṇasagavedā eindaiapphahuḍi jāva caurindia ti || 106 ||**
Animals are purely **Napumsakavedi** from the **Ekaindriya** to the **Caturindriya** (four-sense). || 106 ||
To remove the doubt about how many **vedas** the remaining animals have, the next **sutra** is:
**Tirikkhā tiveda asannimpancindaiyapphahuḍi jāva sanjadāsanjadā ti || 107 ||**
