________________ JEEV-VICHAR JEEV-VICHAR 5 101 Garbhaj Paryapta Manushya 101 Gharbhaj Aparyapta Manushya 101 Sammurchhim Aparyapta Manushya. 303 types 5 Totally Harivarshkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Ramyakkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Himvantkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) Hiranyavantkshetras (1 in Jambudweep + 2 in Dhatkikhand + 2 in Pushkarvardweep) 5 5 56 ANTARDWEEPS - From the eastern and the western ends of Laghuhimvantparvat and Shikhriparvat two-two pieces of lands in the shape of molartooth have projected in Lavansamudra. Totally there are eight such pieces. There are seven-seven islands on each of them. Thus, there are 56 islands overall. They are called Antardweeps. DIVISIONS OF MANUSHYA 15 Manushyas of Karmabhumis 30 Manushyas of Akarmabhumis 56 Manushyas of Antardweeps. 101 Total types Each of these 101 types are further divided into two subdivisions namely garbhaj and sammurchhim. Thus the total comes to 202. Again each of the garbhaj manushyas are further divided into two subdivisions - paryapta and aparyapta. The sammurchhim manushyas don't have any subdivisions because they are aparyapta only. Thus, the total of divisions of manushyas is 303. Q. Where are the Sammurchhim Manushyas produced and what are their features ? Ans. - Sammurchhim Manushyas are produced in urine, excreta, phlegm, dirt of nose, vomit, pus, blood, bile, semen, cough, mucus of nose, spittle, sweat, dirty places such as ditches of cities etc. When the abovementioned things get separated from a humanbody, an antarmuhurat (within 48 mins.) later countless sammurchhim manushyas are produced in them. Their life span is of an antarmuhurat. Their height is of angul (width of a finger) + countless. They die before completing the paryaptis proper for them. KILLING OF SAMMURCHHIM MANUSHYAS AND THEIR PROTECTION Leaving food after eating, removing urine and excreta in gutters, spitting spittle and phlegm anywhere in the way, putting a glass after drinking water again in the pot without drying it, countless sammurchhim manushyas are produced in those things after antarmuhurat. After their production the cycle of their births and deaths continues. So, everyone must be very careful to protect them. After eating one should clean the vessels with water, drink that water, dry the vessels with a piece of cloth, wash the piece of cloth with water in a vessel and pour the water on ground separately. One should go to toilet in open ground out of the village or city. One should remove urine in a spacious area so that it dries within fortyeight mins.
