________________ Verse 19 हर गति की अपनी प्रमाण स्थिति है - Each state-of-existence (gati) has its own duration (sthiti) - एवं सदो विणासो असदो जीवस्स णत्थि उप्पादो / तावदिओ जीवाणं देवो मणुसो त्ति गदिणामो // 19 // एवं सतो विनाशोऽसतो जीवस्य नास्त्युत्पादः / तावज्जीवानां देवो मनुष्य इति गतिनाम // 19 // अन्वयार्थ - [एवं] इस प्रकार [ जीवस्य] जीव को [ सतः विनाशः] सत् का विनाश और [ असत: उत्पादः] असत् का उत्पाद [न अस्ति] नहीं है, (देव जन्मता है और मनुष्य मरता है, ऐसा कहा जाता है - उसका यह कारण है कि-) [जीवानाम् ] जीवों को [ देवः मनुष्यः ] देव, मनुष्य [इति गतिनाम ] ऐसा गति-नामकर्म [ तावत् ] उतने ही काल का होता है। This way, the soul (jiva) does not exhibit the destruction (vyaya, nasa) of the existing (sat) and the origination (utpada) of the non-existing (asat). It is said that there is the origination (utpada) of the celestial-being (deva) and the destruction (vyaya, nasa) of the human-being (manusya); the reason is that these modes, due to the name-karma of the state-of-existence - gatinamakarma - have only that much duration (sthiti) of their fruition (anubhava). EXPLANATORY NOTE The worldly soul (jiva) attainsdifferent states-of-existence(gati) for a pre-determined duration (sthiti) of existence. The states of existence, like that of a human-being (manusya) or a celestial-being (deva), are . . . . . . .. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .. 43
