## Chapter 34: The Sixfold Classification
It is essential to understand that any living being, small or large, resides within an infinitesimal part of the infinite Lokakasha (universe). However, when considering the first Gunasthan (stage of spiritual development), the question arises: "In how many regions do Mithyadrishti (wrongly-seeing) beings reside?" The answer is: "They reside in all regions." This is because the Lokakasha, which is 343 Rajus (units of measurement) in size, is densely populated by stationary beings. However, with the exception of a few, Trasa (hell) beings reside only within the Trasa Nadi (hell region). Beings from the second Gunasthan to the fourteenth Gunasthan reside in infinitesimal parts of the Lokakasha. Only the Kevali (omniscient) beings, who have attained the state of Samyogi Kevali (omniscient with a body), reside in infinitesimal parts of the Lokakasha during the Dand and Kapata Samudghat (states of spiritual awakening), in countless parts of the Lokakasha during the Pratar Samudghat, and in all regions during the Lokapurana Samudghat.
This chapter elaborates on the regions inhabited by beings of different Margna (spiritual paths) and their respective stages of spiritual development. In summary, beings belonging to the Margna with an infinite number of Ekendriya (single-sense) beings reside in all regions, while those belonging to other Margna reside in infinitesimal parts of the Lokakasha. The Samyogi Jins (liberated beings) who belong to the Margna of Kevalgyan (omniscience), Kevaldarshan (omniscient vision), Yathakyat Samyam (perfect control), etc., reside in infinitesimal parts of the Lokakasha during ordinary states, in countless parts of the Lokakasha during the Pratar Samudghat, and in all regions during the Lokapurana Samudghat. The Badar Vayu Kayik (wind-bodied) beings reside in infinitesimal parts of the Lokakasha.
## Chapter 4: The Touch Classification
The Kshetra Prarupana (region classification) describes the current region of beings. However, the Sparshan Prarupana (touch classification) considers the region of beings in the past, present, and future. The place where a being is born or resides is called its Svasthan (own place), and the area covered by its movement is called Viharvat Svasthan (place of movement). The Viharvat Svasthan is larger than the Svasthan for every being. For example, the region of a Deva (heavenly being) in the sixteenth heaven is an infinitesimal part of the Lokakasha compared to its Svasthan. However, it can travel down to the third hell, covering a region of eight Rajus. This is because the third hell is two Rajus below the Madhyaloka (middle world), and the sixteenth heaven is six Rajus above it. Thus, the Devas of the sixteenth heaven have touched a region of eight Rajus in the past. Similarly, the region of beings increases during Samudghat (spiritual awakening) and Uppaad (birth) compared to their Vihar (movement). The expansion of a being's region beyond its original body due to specific causes like Vedana (pain), Kashay (passions), etc., is called Samudghat.
