i that they have different alternative combinations of three jnanas (kinds i of right knowledge). Those who are unrighteous go to the human genus
without vibhang-jnana, therefore they are said to have two ajnanas as a rule.
(iv) Dev-gati or genus of divine beings—These are jivas (souls) who have died and are in the state of movement on way to the divine genus. They follow the pattern of infernal beings (three jnanas as a rule or different alternative combinations of three ajnanas).
(v) Siddha-gati or genus of liberated beings—These are jivas (souls) who have died and are in the state of movement on way to liberation. They have only one jnana, i. e. Keval-jnana.
(2) Indriya-dvar (state of sense organs)-Se-indriya means with $1 sense organs. Living beings with sense organs have 2, 3 or four jnanas, this statement is in context with the capability because as far as application is concerned, at a particular moment, every being has only one knowledge. Keval-jnana is extrasensory knowledge, it is not related to sense organs. Ajnani beings with sense organs have different alternative combinations of three ajnanas (kinds of wrong knowledge), some have three and some two. Being unrighteous (mithyadirshti), onesensed beings are ajnani and they have two ajnanas as a rule. Two to
four sensed beings have two ajnanas as a rule but there is a possibility of i them having two jnanas in the event they happened to be in the state of
Sasvadan Gunasthaan (the level where there is a fleeting taste of righteousness). Those without sense organs (having made all the sense organs inactive) are omniscients (Keval jnani).
(3) Kaaya-dvar (state of body)—Living beings with gross physical (audarik) or other types of body or those with six different kinds of body including earth-body are called sakaayik (with body or embodied). Kevalis (omniscient) are also among these. Therefore righteous (samyagdrishti) embodied beings have different alternative combinations of five jnanas (kinds of right knowledge). The unrighteous (Mithyadrishti) embodied beings have different alternative combinations of three ajnanas. Those having none of these six kinds of bodies or who are 'devoid of gross physical or other types of body are akaayik jivas. Such beings are Siddhas only and they have only Keval-jnana.
