सएणी छस्संहडणो वजदि मेघ तदो परं चापि । सेवदादीरहिदो पण पणचदुरेगसंहडणो ॥३१॥ संज्ञी षट्संहननो ब्रजति मेघां ततः परं चापि ।। मृपाटादिरहितः पश्चमी पश्चचतुरेकसंहननः ॥ ३१ ॥
31. The rational being with 6 osseous structures goes up to Megha (the third hell). (The one with) five, four, and one osseous structure excepting Sripáţiká, etc., also goes beyond that up to fifth, sixth and seventh hells respectively.
Commentaryo. Only beings with the highest osseous structure can sin so deeply that they merit the tortures of the lowest or the 7th hell. That is, they alone can go down to the 7th hell. Those with four, i.e., the first four osseous structures, i. e. with all except Kilita and Sripátika go down to the 6th. Those with 5,i.e., all except Sripatika, can go down to the 5th. Those with all the 6 structures of bone can go down to the third hell. For the 6 kinds of Samhanana, see Tattvártha Sútra Chapter 8.
अंतिमतियसंहडणस्सुदओ पुण कम्मभूमिमहिलाएं।
आदिमतिगसंहडणं णस्थित्ति जिणेहि णिदि ॥३२॥ अन्तिमत्रयसंहननस्योदयः पुनः कर्मभूमिमहिलानाम् । धादिमत्रिकसंहननं नास्तीतिजिनैर्निर्दिष्टम् ॥ ३२॥
32. And the last 3 osseous structreus appear in the women of work-region (Karma-bhúmi); the first three osseous structures are not (found in them). So it has been said by the Conquerors.
Commentary. Females of work region have only the last 3 osseous structures, and no higher ones. Therefore they can not go beyond the 16th heaven, as stated in Gatha 29. Only those who possess the first osseous structure, Vajra-Vrishabha-Naracha Samhanana, can attain Liberation. Females of work region do not possess this structure, and therefore they can not attain Liberation from female bodies.
