पढमुबसमसहिदाए विरदाविरदीए चोदसा दिवसा। विरदीए पएणरसा विरहिदकालो दु बोधव्वो ॥ १४५ ॥ प्रथमोपशमसहिताया विरताविरतेः चतुर्दश दिवसाः। विरतेः पञ्चदश विरहितकालस्तु बोद्धव्यः॥ १४५॥
145. But (in cases of souls) having first subsidential Right-Belief, (when) in Partial vow and Imperfect-vow, (stages), the interval of total absence should be known to be of fourteen, and fifteen days (respectively).
गइउदयजपज्जाया चउगइगमणस्स हेउ वा हु गई। णारयतिरिक्खमाणुसदेवगइत्ति य हवेचदुधा ॥ १४६॥ गत्युदयजपर्याया चतुर्गतिगमनस्य हेतुर्वा हि गतिः । नारकतिर्यग्मानुषदेवगतिरिति च भवेचतुर्धा ॥ १४६ ॥
146. Condition of existence (Gati) is the state (of a soul), brought about by the operation of the body-condition-making (Gati-Náma-Karma) or it is the cause of the soul's passing in either of the four conditions of existence. The four kinds of the conditions of existence are 1. Hellish (Náraka) 2. Sub-human (Tiryanch), 3. Human (Manushya) and 4. Celestial (Deva).
णरमंति जदो णिचं दव्वे खेत्ते य कालभावे य । अण्णोण्णेहि य जम्हा तम्हा ते णारया भाणया ॥१४॥ न रमन्ते यतो नित्यं द्रव्ये क्षेत्रे च कालभावे च । अन्योन्यैश्च यस्मात्तस्मात्ते नारता (का) भणिताः॥१४७॥
147. Náratás (unamused, or Nárakás, Hellish) are so called because they do never like the objects, place, time and the conditions (in which they are placed), nor (do they like) each other.
Commentary. The derivative meaning of the word, náraka, hellish soul is given here. All the objects, and surroundings in hell are altogether disagreeable. The very name, "Nárata' or (Náraka) signifies that the hellish beings do not at all like the conditions of hell, nor do they like each other.
