144, 1. e., the above except bound age. There are 2 divi. sions. A human subsidential right believer binds the 4 assimilative body, limbs, bondage and fusion. Then by operation of an error-feeding passion falls down to the downfall stage.
144, The same soul having formerly bound a celestial age, dies in 2nd stage and is born as a celestial in the downfall stage, by the operation of an errorfeeding passion. It has only current celestial, but no next bound-age. Till then it has the same 144 in existence. According to some saints, a second subsidential right-believer (Dvitiya Upshama-Samyak-Drishti), hay. ing bound a celestial age, does not die in the second stage. Thus there are only 11 divisions (see Sanskrit commentary.)
