45 pacification of karmas (Upasham Shreni) during some past birth to oi acquire these karmas, he does the same during the present birth and
will do the same again during the next birth through pacification or destruction of karmas. (6) Sixth alternative-not in the past, but in the present, and not in the future. This is about a being who did not gain the path of progressive pacification of karmas (Upasham Shreni) during
some past birth to acquire these karmas, he does the same during the $present birth through destruction of karmas and will get liberated, thus $i
eliminating the need to do the same again during the next birth. (7) Seventh alternative-not in the past, not in the present, but in the
future. This is about a being who did not gain the path of progressive i pacification of karmas (Upasham Shreni) during some past birth to
acquire these karmas, he does not do the same during the present birth, s but as he is destined to get liberated (bhavya) he will do the same during i
the next birth through pacification or destruction of karmas. (8) Eighth alternative-not in the past, not in the present, and not in the future.
This is about a being who is not at all destined to get liberated (abhavya) $ and thus did not gain the path of progressive pacification of karmas 4
(Upasham Shreni) during some past birth to acquire these karmas, he does not do the same during the present birth and will not do the same
during the future births. This is because an abhavya jiva never gains the 4 path of progressive pacification of karmas (Upasham Shreni), or the path 45 of progressive destruction of karmas (Kshapak Shreni).
In context of doing the same during a specific birth (grahanakarsh) the aforesaid alternatives are explained as follows-(1) First alternative-This is about a being who had gained the path of progressive pacification or destruction of karmas (Upasham Shreni and Kshapak Shreni) during this birth in the past to acquire these karmas, he does the same at present and will 1do the same in future. (2) Seconds
alternative-This is about a being that is just one Samaya short of 4 crossing the thirteenth Gunasthaan because he had acquired these
karmas in the past, he does the same at present and attains the rock-like 55 state; and thereby stops acquiring any karma. (3) Third alternative-This applies to the person who once gains the path of progressive pacification of karmas (Upasham Shreni) then falls from that level. He had acquired these karmas in the past, does not acquire at present but will do so in future when he again gains Upasham Shreni. This is because a being can gain Upasham Shreni twice during one birth. (4) Fourth
