are too heavy, is unable to destroy all his Karmas (and thereby attain Liberation in this life), and dies before reaching the Final Goal. Then, he is born in any of the higher heavens from Saudharma (the first high heaven) to Sarvārthasiddhi (the last high heaven) as a very wealthy and powerful denizen of that heaven (Deva).

Here he enjoys the pleasures of heavenly life as a Deva for a long time, and when his life span ends, he is reborn in the world of humans in a family which is full of good qualities, where there is the right faith and vision and the right knowledge and practice of religion. He is born in a high community, is blessed with good near and dear ones, wealth, pomp and glory, beauty, strength, intelligence and many other good qualities. He has great reverence towards God, Guru and Religion. He ultimately reaches a very great purity in his Samyagdarśana and Samyagjñāna and by becoming steady in Samvara, he stops the inflow of Karmas. Then he does various austerities and penances with great intensity, and fills his mind with deep contemplations and feelings (see verses 149-166- given earlier). Thus in that very life he destroys (all his Karmas and hence) his worldly existence and goes to Mokșa. Or he is again reborn in the heavens and then as a human - in this way in three lives he reaches Moksa - Final Emancipation.
