1. Audārika Vargaņā, 2. Vaikriya Vargaņā 3. Ahāraka Vargaņā, 4. Taijas Vargaņā, 5. Bhāṣā Vargaņā, 6. śvāsācchrāsa Vargaņā, 7. Mano Vargaņā, 8. Kārmana Vargaņā.
Every constituent unit of all these Vargaņās have infinite particles i.e. paramāņus and yet a constituent unit of a Vaikriya Vargaņā has a larger number of paramānus than the number of paramāņus of the unit of Audārika Vargaņā and a constituent unit of Ahāraka Vargaņā has a still greater number of paramāņus than the number of paramāņus of the unit of the Vaikriya Vargaņā. Similarly, a constituent unit of each subsequent Vargaņā has a gradually increasing number of paramānus. And with increasing number of paramāņus in the unit of each Vargaņā, the size of paramānus becomes gradually subtler and subtier. As a result a constituent unit of Mano Vargaņā has a greater number of paramāņus than a constituent unit of Bhāṣā Varganā. ?
It should be remembered here that Jain Agamas were written in a fifth or sixth century of Vikram Era. Till then it was customary for monks and nuns of Jain tradition to commit Āgamas to memory. While the quantum mechanics of modern physics was invented as late as at the end of the 20th century of Vikram Era.
According to the modern physics, the velocity of sound i.e. constituent units of Bhāṣā Vargaņā is only 330 metres / second, but the speed of constituent units of taijas Vargaņā i.e. electromagnetic waves, light waves waves of radio and television is 30 crore metres /sec. That is why the constituent units of Bhāṣā Vargaņā have les energy, though they have a far greater number of paramāņus than the constituent units of taijas Vargaņā. The constituent units of Mano Vargaņā have a very large number of particles (paramānus) that gets tranformed as thoughts or mind and they are very subtle, too. As we experience in our daily life, the speed of mind and its thought- pudgalas is tremendous. Therefore, their energy is infinite or very high,
of the three kinds of Jāpa taught by spiritual sages, the first spoken Jāpa uses the constituent units of paramānus of Bhāṣā Vargaņā. Since their speed is very slow, their frequency is low and as a result their energy is very small. In that kind of Jāpa, therefore, the message takes time to reach the
