sea. In the sea, one appears to be without support, orphan and without 4 any protection. Similarly in this world, due to the Karmas he has collected, a being feels pain when he experience the fruit of his Karmas. At that there is none capable of lending him support or protection.
The gigantic aquatic animals reside in this sea in the form of RidhiGaurav (ego of wealth), Ras-Gaurav (ego of taste) and Sata-Gaurav (ego of pleasant life). They drag the living beings to the bottom of patalkalash.
This world is stated to be without a beginning and without an end. It is not to be understood in respect of one living being, but in respect of all the living beings. Some living beings after destroying all the Karmas earlier collected by them cross the worldly ocean. Still there are infinite living beings who in the past had wandered in the mundane world, are wandering at present and shall be wandering here always in future. So this world is without any beginning or end.
The purpose of saying bondage of karma as one without a beginning is that in respect of collection of Karmas one after the other, it is without beginning. There is no karma which remains bound with a living being since a period without beginning. Every karma has a limited duration and after completing its duration, it separates from the living being concerned. But ordinarily the living being collects new Karmas every moment. So the flow of Karmas is without a beginning and without an end.
In the aphorism, it has been mentioned that there are 84 million Jiva Yonis. Jiva Yoni means the genus or opecies where a soul takes birth. The 84 million Jiva Yonis are as follows
Earth bodied living beings have 0.7 million Jiva Yonis. Water bodied living beings have 0.7 million Jiva Yonis. Air bodied living beings have 0.7 million Jiva Yonis. Fire bodied living beings have 0.7 million Jiva Yonis. One bodied plant bodied living beings have 1.0 million Jiva Yonis. Common seeded plant bodied living beings have 1.4 million Jiva Yonis Two-sensed living beings have 0.2 million Jiva Yonis. Three-sensed living 4 beings have 0.2 million Jiva Yonis. Four-sensed living beings have 0.2 million Jiva yonis. Five-sensed animal clan living beings have 0.4 million Jiva yonis. Hellish beings have 0.4 million Jiva yonis. Celestial beings have 0.4 million Jiva yonis. Human beings have 1.4 million Jiva yonis. Some of them are good and some are bad.
