146, All but sub-human and celestial ages.
This is in a wrong believer having bound hellish age going to the 4th stage with the destructive-subsi| dential right-belief, there binding the Tirthankara sub-class, but then coming down to the 1st stage of wrong-belief, one Antar-muhúrta before his death.
Note 1. But there is no beginning to bind the Tírthankara Karma in a soul, with a current human age and the next bound human or sub-human age.
Note 2.-A human soul who has bound the next celestial age, and is in the 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th stage, never falls down to the first.
Note 3.- A hellish soul, who has bound the next human age, and has also Tírthankara Karma in existence, is never in this stage of wrong-belief for 6 months before death, as the ceremonies of conception begin in the Middle Region for those 6 months. Such a soul has the existence of 146, but is in the 4th stage for the 6 months.
