there are still 9 grades. The leśyā is in 1 and 2 fiery, in 3, 4, 5, lotuspink, thereafter white. In 1 and 2 cach karman assimilable by gods, is bound, in 3-8 not the karmans of 1-sensed class of beings, immovable body, warm splendour, in 9-12, in addition to these not cold lustre, animal state, ānupūrvi, äyus.
(b) The Kalpātītas have a white leśyā and no sexual desire at all. With them no difference in rank exists. They are divided into 2 divisions, which again are subdivided into many classes.
« The Graive yakas are 9-fold : Sudarsana, Supratibandha, Manorama, Sarvabhadra, Suviśāla, Somanasa, Sumamkasa, Priyamkara, Nandikara'. They do not bind the karmans : 1-sensed class of beings, immovable body, warm splendour, cold lustre, animal state of existence, ānupūrvi and äyus.
B. The Anuttarasuras are the highest species of gods. They are divided into 5 classes : Vijaya, Vaijayanta, Jayanta, Aparājita, Sarvārthasiddha. They all have true belief, are only on the 4th gunasthāna and bind karman only possible on that stage. In the 4 first classes are beings who at the utmost are still only reincarnated twice, in the last one there are only such beings who are reborn only once and then attain salvation (Tattv. VI, 27 ; Lp. 27, 638 seq.)
At the end I give a table of bandha, udaya, sattă of năma-ks. All that is here given must be modified with regard to the exceptions mentioned in connection with the different classes of gods. 25a, 26, 29bc, 30b 211, 251, 271, 28k), 29no, 30k

4. THE INFERNAL STATE OF EXISTENCE. The infernal beings (nāraka) are deformed, evil jivas, belonging to the 3rd sex, with a fine transformation-body, who during their long life are tormented by heat. cold, hunger, thirst and pain, and who with innate hatred are directing all that they feel and think to tormenting one another. Like the gods, they arise through "manifestation" (upapāta), are, if undeveloped, only karana-aparyāptas; their existence ends only when their āyus has expired; the many wounds they receive are, therefore, never mortal.
