________________ Tattvārthasūtra others - paraghāta, emitting warm light – ātapa, emitting cool light – udyota, respiration - ucсhvāsa, gait – vihāyogati. Further, the following ten, with their opposites, constitute twenty additional subdivisions: individual body - pratyeka śarīra - and collective body - sādhāraṇa śarīra, mobile-being - trasa - and immobilebeing - sthāvara, good-tempered - subhaga - and badtempered - durbhaga, melodious voice - susvara - and unmelodious voice - duhsvara, attractiveness of formśubha – and unattractiveness of form - aśubha, minute body – sūkşma – and gross body – bādara, completion (of the organs) - paryāpti – and incompletion - aparyāpti, firmness - sthira – and infirmness - asthira, lustrous body - ādeya - and lustreless body - anādeya, glory and renown - yaśaḥkīrti – and obscurity – ayaśaḥkīrti. The forty-second is the name-karma of Lord Jina - Tīrthakaratva. That (karma) on the rise of which a living being attains another birth is the state of existence - gati. It is of four kinds - the infernal state of existence - narakagati, the plant and animal state of existence – tiryańcagati, the human state of existence – manusyagati, and the celestial state of existence - devagati. That which causes birth as an infernal being is the name-karma of the infernal state of existence. Similarly, it must be understood with regard to the rest. Within a particular state of existence, such as narakagati, the grouping together of beings which are alike is the class - jāti. The class is attained due to the name-karma of jāti. It is of five kinds: the class - jāti - of beings with one sense – ekendriya, with two senses – dvīndriya, with three senses – trīndriya, with four senses - caturindriya, and with five senses -pańcendriya. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 326
