as some nigodas do not attain change, while some 35 are born and die and again return to the original state.36
Types of Nigodas:
There are stated to be two kinds of Nigodas from the point of their size, viz. fine and gross (sūksma and bādara ).37 Sūksma Nigodas are of two kinds, viz. paryāptaka (developed ) and aparyāptaka (undeveloped ). Bādara Nigodas also are of two kinds, viz. paryāptaka (developed ) and aparyāptaka ( undeveloped ).
Nigodajīvas are of two kinds, viz. Süksma Nigodajivas (fine Nigodajīvas ) and Bādara Nigodajīvas (gross Nigodajivas). Sūksma Nigodajivas are of two types, viz. paryāptakas (developed) and aparyaptakas (undeveloped ). Bādara Nigodajīvas also are of two types, viz. paryāptakas ( developed ) and aparyāptakas (undeveloped ) 38
Nigodas are innumerable from the substantial point of view, and thus paryāptaka and aparyāptakas also.39 Sükşma Nigodas are innumerable from the substantial point of view. Thus Sūksma-paryāptakas and aparyāptakas also and badara-nigodas, bādara-paryāptakas and bādaraaparyäptakas also should be known.40
Nigodajivas:
Nigodajīvas are infinite in number from the substantial point of view, thus paryāptakas and aparyāptakas also, thus Sūksmanigodajīvas also, and aparyāptakas, bādaranigodajivas also, paryāptakas also, aparyāptakas also should be treated.41
Nigodas are infinite in number from the modal point of view, thus paryāptakas and aparyāptakas also, thus sūksmanigoda paryāptakas and aparyāptakas also, thus sūksmanigoda paryäpatakas and aparyāptakas
