And leaving aside the human, sub-human and celestial ages, (all kinds of) duration (bondage) of the remaining good and bad (Karmas) are bad. Commentary. Duration of bondage is determined by intensity of passions. Passions prevent liberation ; therefore all duration bondage is bad. Celestial, human and sub-human ages are not bad, because they afford an opportunity of subduing and destroying passions. Subhuman beings can reach up to the 5th stage of partial vow. Hellish beings can attain at the most to the 4th stage of vowless rightbelief, but they cannot go out of hell to any place where piety can be practised. In this respect, they differ from celestial beings who are also in the 4th stage, but can move about and perform acts of piety such as worshipping Arhats, attending upon saints, and visit. ing Jain temples. Beings in hell always desire to get rid of their bodies, while those in other conditions of existence are more or less Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
