2.34

Tattvārtha Sūtra / 2. Jīva (जीव) / 2.34

देवनारकाणामुपपादः

devanārakāṇām upapādaḥ

The line

Of devanāraka (देवनारक), spontaneous birth.

Where it sits

In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Jīva (जीव). The soul, its states, and the kinds of beings. The line is short. jarāyujāṇḍajapotānāṃ (जरायुजाण्डजपोतानां) from 2.33 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
