________________ 434. Where are the 42 types of one sensed agglutinating births distributed? 1. Earth. 2. Air. 3. Fire. 4. Water. 5. Eternal lowest form of life. 6. Non-eternal lowest forms of life. (Each of the above six have fine bodies, as well as gross bodies) (6 x 2 = 12). 13. Dependent solitary plant souls. 14. Nondependent solitary plant souls. Each of these fourteen types and subtypes listed above are to be multiplied by three additional types and that will make forty-two. The three types are as follow: 1. The fully matured (Paryaptak). 2. Partially matured (Nirvrutya Paryaptak). 3. Non-matured (Labdh Paryaptak). When the soul matures to all of his potential mature forms, then it is called fully matured (Paryaptak). When soul is in the process of acquiring all of its maturities, then it is called partially matured (Nirvrutya Paryaptak). When the living being dies prior to acquiring to any maturity at all, then it is called non-matured (Labdh Payraptak). 435. What are the nine types of births in two to four sensed living beings? Two, three and four sensed living beings have nine different types of births, as follows. Two sensed, three sensed and four sensed times three of each of the maturities (fully matured, partially matured, and non-matured). Thus there are total of nine types.
