There are six soul-complexions-black, blue, pigeon-blue, fiery-red, lotus-yellow and white. Of these, the first three are ignoble soul-complexions and last three are noble. They have many intensity based categories including faintest, fainter, faint, bright, brighter and brightest.
This chapter gives a systematic description of these six soul-complexions based on eleven attributes-(1) Naam dvara (name), (2) Varna dvara (colour), (3) Rasa dvara (taste), (4) Gandha dvara (smell), (5) Sparsh dvara (touch), (6) Parinaam dvara (degree of intensity), (7) Lakshan dvara (symptom), (8) Sthaan dvara (variety), (9) Sthiti dvara (duration), (10) Gati dvara (result), and (11) Aayu dvara (life-span).
We have tried to further simplify the characters, degrees of intensity, colour, smell and other attributes of leshyas by two illustrations.
The chapter has 61 verses.
