relative numerical strength : mithyadarśanapratyayâ, apratyakhyanakriyā, pärigrahiki, āraṁbhiki, māyāpratyayā (1663). The meaning of this order is brought out by the commentator as follows. Only those living beings that are possessed of mithyadrsti can have the mithyādsstipratyaya kriyā; but the apratyäkhyāna kriyà is possible in both the avirata samyagdssti and mithyadrsți. Māyāpratyaya kriyā is possible in apramattasamyata, pramattasamyata, desavirata and mithyadssti. Hence among all the kriyās this kriyā has the highest numerical strength (sarvadhika) (Commentary, folio 452).
The twofold division of kriya, viz. samparāyika and airyāpathika which we come across in later works is not found in the whole of the discussion contained in this chapter.
