| Feb 21, 2021 at 10:43 | comment | added | Adiyarkku | So basically as per research, the main division is as per the answer given below by Hanuman. Your Garuda Purana (as cited by student in the comments) Mahabharata etc all say the division is as per svedaja, andaja, udbhijja and jarayuja. They say among jarayuja manushya yoni (is only 1) is the best. Each of these divisions has 21 lakh as per Hanuman’s answer. The verse cited is not normal in accordance with the general classification, its wrong. Even Ramcharitmanas- आकर चारि लाख चौरासी। जाति जीव जल थल नभ बासी - 4 types of 84 lakh births (yonis) living in water (fish) earth (animals) sky (birds) | |

| Oct 16, 2016 at 7:10 | comment | added | Student | That sloka is from Brihad vishnu purana as per Shabda Kalpa Druma whose link is sa.wikisource.org/wiki/… under the explanation of the shabda योनिः | |

| Dec 21, 2015 at 11:08 | comment | added | Surya | 4 lakh species of humans? How is that even possible? | |

| Dec 20, 2015 at 11:07 | comment | added | The Destroyer♦ | I have Volume 1&2 but i don't remember where i downloaded them. I will check and tell you later. If you want to read scriptures in Sanskrit with English translation, best site would be Indian Scriptures. Unfortunately, this site doesn't have Padma Purana. | |
