## Chapter Two
[296] **What are the two types?** The answer is: **Dravyendriya** and **Bhaavendriya**.
[293] To understand the nature of Dravyendriya, the following sutra is stated:
**Dravyendriya is the instrument of Nivritti.** [17]
[294] **Nivritti** is the creation. **What creates it?** The answer is: **Karma**. Karma is of two types: **Baahya Nivritti** (external creation) and **Aabhyantara Nivritti** (internal creation).
**Aabhyantara Nivritti** is the creation of pure Atma-pradeshas (regions of the soul) which are as numerous as the parts of an Utsadha-anguli (a measure of length), and are situated in a fixed arrangement of the senses like eyes, etc.
**Baahya Nivritti** is the accumulation of Pudgalas (matter particles) in those Atma-pradeshas, which are designated as senses, and which acquire a specific state due to the rise of **Naama Karma** (karma that determines the name and form).
**Upakaran** (instrument) is that which facilitates Nivritti. Like Nivritti, it is also of two types: **Aabhyantara** (internal) and **Baahya** (external).
In the case of the eye, the **Krishna-Shukla Mandala** (black and white circles) is the **Aabhyantara Upakaran**, while the eyelids and eyelashes are the **Baahya Upakaran**. The same principle applies to other senses.
[295] The following sutra describes Bhaavendriya:
**Bhaavendriya is the instrument of Labdhi and Upayoga.** [18]
[296] **Labdhi** means "to obtain". **What is Labdhi?** The answer is: **Labdhi** is the specific cessation of **Jnaanaavaran Karma** (karma that obscures knowledge).
**Upayoga** is the transformation of the soul that occurs due to the proximity of **Labdhi**, which enables the soul to engage in **Dravyendriya Nivritti**.
