MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
miseries are to be known like that of one-sensed beings; knowledge, etc. are somewhat more. And many big-sized Paryaptas beings are spontaneously born beings; many are of uterus birth. In them knowledge, etc. are found manifested, but they are found agitated by the desire of objects. Among them, many Jivas do not get favourite objects; someone rarely gets a few objects.

Owing to perverse faith, they are assuredly having fallacy in Tattvas and passion is chiefly found of intense type. Due to anger & pride, they fight, eat and cause pain to one another; due to deceit & greed, they indulge in deceitful acts and desired objects. They indulge in the acts of those passions through laughter, etc. Rarely someone is found having feeble passion; but this happens to only a few Jivas; hence, its predominance is not there.
In Vedaniya Karma there is chiefly the rise of Asata; due to which disease, anguish, hunger, thirst, piercing, severing, carrying too much load, cold, heat, maiming etc. conditions are caused. Because of that they are clearly seen afflicted; therefore, much is not described here. Rarely someone meets with the rise of somewhat Sata also but it is limited to a few Jivas only; it is not predominant. And the Ayu (life-time) is found from one Antar Muhurta (less than 48 minutes) up to crores of years. There, most of the Jivas possess only a very short span of life (age) and hence, they suffer from the pangs of birth and death. And the Jivas of enjoyment-land (Bhoga-Bhumi) have a greater span of life (age) and they have the rise of Sata (Karma causing pleasure) also, but those Jivas are limited in number. Moreover, mostly there is found the rise of Tiryanch Gati etc. inauspicious (papa) prakritis of Name-karma. Rarely someone meets with the rise of a few auspicious (Punya) prakritis also, but it is found in lesser measure to some Jivas; it is not predominant. And in GotraKarma only, the rise of low status determining karma is found, so they are suffering from lowness. Thus, there is extreme misery in Tiryanch Gati (animals).
Miseries of Human State of Existence
In the human state of existence, innumerable Jivas are LabdhiAparyaptas (undeveloped souls), those all are Sammoorchchhanas (spontaneously generated); their span of life (age) is just 1/18th part
