body hair or follicle)--this also includes respiration and continues till the 47 4 last moment of life. (3) Prakshep ahaar or Kavalahar intake of
morsel)-intake through mouth or the normal act of eating. (4) Manobhakshya (mental food intake)——This is done with the help of mental resolve.
In two states a jiva (soul) is anahaarak-(1) Antaraal gati (transitional movement)—this is the movement when on death a soul moves to the new place of birth. (2) Kevali Samudghat-bursting forth and withdrawal of soul-space-points by an omniscient just before his death (see chapter 2, lesson 2). Transitional movement is of two types-- (a) Riju gati (straight movement) and (2) Vakra gati (oblique movement).
In context of intake there are four alternatives of the transitional movement--(1) When a worldly being completes his life-span and moves in a straight line (riju gati) to the new place of birth then right at the first Samaya of life-span of the new birth he is ahaarak (with intake). However, if he moves in a oblique way (vakra gati) he is anahaarak (without intake) in the first Samaya of movement. That is why the general statement about the first Samaya of movement is that a jiva may be ahaarak or anahaarak. (2) Now in the oblique movement if he takes just one turn and takes birth at the second Samaya then at the first Samaya he remains anahaarak and at the second Samaya he becomes ahaarak. (3) If he takes two turns and takes birth at the third Samaya then during the first two Samayas he remains anahaarak and at the third Samaya he becomes ahaarak. (4) If he takes three turns and takes birth at the fourth Samaya then during the first three Samayas he remains anahaarak and at the fourth Samaya he becomes ahaarak. The
sequence of three turns is like this–Suppose a being is located outside 4 the Tras-naadi (the central spine of the Lok or occupied space where
living beings exist) in some direction. When he goes from lower world to C upper world and gets reborn outside the Tras-nadi then at the first
moment it has a vertical movement to come in line with the point of entry into the Tras-naadi. In the second Samaya it takes a horizontal turn to enter the Tras-naadi. In the third Samaya it takes a vertical turn
and moves to the upper world. In the fourth Samaya it again takes a 4 horizontal turn to come out of the Tras-naadi moving to the place of 451
birth and get born. Of these the first three movements are oblique. (see illustration).
