COMMENTARY

Those who go to the «third» place, do not depend on the fifth oblation for getting a new body. Why do we say so? Because it is thus perceived in the Scriptures. In the Chhandogya Upanishad Pravahana Jaibali puts this question to Shvetaketu: «Do you know why that world never becomes full?» In answer to this question he says (Chhandogya, V., 10. 8.): «On neither of these two ways those smaller creatures (flies, worms, etc.) are continually returning of whom it may be said live and die. Theirs is a third place. Therefore, that world never becomes full». Those creatures who do not go either by the path of Devayana or of Pitriyana, are the small creatures, who are classed as insects, mosquitoes, etc. They return by a different path, and their return is very quick. About them it is said «live and die». That is to say, these small creatures are continually being born and are dying. This constitutes the third place. The sinners are called small creatures because they assume the bodies of gnats, insects, etc. Their place is called the «third» place, because it is neither the Brahma-loka, nor the Dyu-loka. Therefore those who are not entitled to go by the path of the Devas to Brahma-loka, because they do not possess knowledge, nor are entitled to go by the path of the Fathers, because they have not performed sacrificial works, are the pitiable creatures who are born as mosquitoes, gnats, etc. They constitute a third class. Hence the Heaven-world never becomes full, because these sinners never go there. The origination of their bodies is in the third plane, the fifth oblation is not necessary in their case.
