The text states that the jiva (soul) has been wandering in the sukshmanigodiyas (subtle microscopic beings) for a period less than the asankhyataveen part of a palya (an infinitesimal unit of time). During this time, it has been born more in the aparyaptas (incomplete beings) and less in the paryaptas (complete beings). Its aparyapta duration has been longer and paryapta duration has been shorter. Whenever it binds the ayus (life-span) karma, it binds it with the utkrista (highest) yoga (activity of body, speech and mind). It attains the jaghanya (lowest) gati (state of existence) of the upari (higher) sthitis (states of existence) and the utkrista gati of the adhastha (lower) sthitis. It repeatedly attains the jaghanya yogasthana (lowest state of activity). It is repeatedly transformed by the manda (mild) sanklesha (afflictions) type of parinama (transformations).
After wandering in the sukshmanigodiyas, it was born in the badara (gross) prithvikayika (earth-bodied) paryaptas, where it became completely paryapta in the shortest duration of an antarmuhurta (moment). Then, within an antarmuhurta, it attained death and was born among the purvakotika (previous-life) ayuvala (life-span) manushyas (humans), where, after emerging from the garbha (womb), it adopted samyama (restraint) at the age of eight years. After maintaining samyama for slightly less than the purvakoti duration, as its life was about to end, it attained mithyatva (false belief).
Then, with mithyatva, it attained death and was born among the deva (celestial) beings with a lifespan of ten thousand years. There, in the shortest antarmuhurta, it became completely paryapta, and then, within an antarmuhurta, it attained samyaktva (right belief). In that deva birth, it maintained samyaktva for slightly less than ten thousand years, and then, as its life was about to end, it again attained mithyatva and, with mithyatva, attained death.
It was then born again in the badara prithvikayika paryaptas, where, in the shortest antarmuhurta, it became completely paryapta. Then, within an antarmuhurta, it attained death and was born among the sukshmanigodiyas. Through the asankhyataveen part of a palya worth of karmakshapakas (destruction of karmas), it became hatasamutpattika (destroyed the arising of karmas) and was born again in the badara prithvikayika paryaptas.
In this way, after maintaining eight samyamakaandakas (stages of restraint) through various births, and pacifying the kashayas (passions) four times, and maintaining the asankhyataveen part of a palya worth of samyamaasamakaandakas (stages of restraint and non-restraint) and the same number of samyaktvakaandakas (stages of right belief), it was born again among the purvakotika ayuvala manushyas. Here, it quickly took birth and attained the age of eight years, and then, after maintaining samyama for slightly less than the purvakoti duration, as its life was about to end, it, while in the chhadmastha (householder) state, i.e., the twelfth gunasthana (stage of spiritual development), destroyed the darshanamohiya (deluding) and charitramohiya (conduct-deluding) karmas.
At the final moment of that jiva, it experiences the jaghanya (lowest) dravyavedniya (material-experience) of the jnanavaranikakarma (knowledge-obscuring karma). The non-jaghanya vedana (experience) of other jivas should be understood.
The jiva that is the owner of the jaghanya dravyavedniya of the jnanavaranikakarma should be known as the owner of the jaghanya dravyavedniya of the darshanavaraniya (perception-obscuring) and antarayakarma (obstructive) as well. The jaghanya dravyavedniya of the mohakarma (deluding karma) should also be understood.
