Jivas (souls/living beings) come from among infernal beings and divine beings and get reborn as Naradevs. They never come from animals and humans.
The status of Dharmadevs can be gained only when someone renounces the world and gets initiated. Souls from the sixth hell (Tamah-prabha) can be reborn as human beings but cannot get initiated. Beings from among infernal beings of seventh hell (Tamastamah-prabha), fire-bodied beings, air-bodied beings, and beings with innumerable years life-span from land of'inaction and middle islands do not get reborn as humans; as such, there is no question of there being reborn as Dharmadevs. For these reasons there is negation of them being reborn as Dharmadevs.
Jivas (souls/living beings) come from among infernal beings of first three Narak Prithvis (hells), and not the other hells, to get reborn as Devadhidevs. They also come from Vaimanik Devs to get reborn as Devadhidevs.
The statement regarding birth (upapaat) of Bhaavadevs follows that mentioned in Vyutkranti chapter (the sixth chapter of Prajnapana Sutra) about abode-dwelling gods (Bhavan-vaasi Devs). In Prajnapana Sutra there is a mention about superabundance of births (upapaat) of abodedwelling gods; this is because Jivas (souls/living beings) from numerous places come to be reborn as abode-dwelling gods, they include even nonsentient beings.
