[Samvayanga Sutra]
Just as the proof of the perception of the Audarika body is stated in the Prajnapana-pada called Avagahana-samsthana, so it should be said here in its entirety. Thus, as long as a human being's superior body-perception is called three Gavyutis (kosas).
598 - How many kinds of Vaikriyika body are there, Bhagavan?
Gautama! The Vaikriyika body is said to be of two kinds - one-sense Vaikriyika body and five-sense Vaikriyika body.
Thus, from the Sanatkumara-kalpa to the Uttara Vimanas, the Vaikriyika Bhavadharaniya body of the Devas is to be said. It decreases by one Rani at a time.
Discussion - The Vaikriyika body is only found in the air-bodied beings among the one-sense beings. It is not found in the विकलेन्द्रिय and सम्मूच्छिम Tiryanchas. It is found in the Narakas, Bhavanavasis, Vanavyantara, Jyotishka Devas, Saudharma Ishana Kalpas, and from the Sanatkumara Kalpa to the Uttara Vimanas. The Bhavadharaniya body of the Narakas is from five hundred Dhanus in the seventh Naraka, decreasing to seven Dhanus, three hands, and six Angulas in the first Naraka. The Bhavadharaniya body of the Bhavanavasis, Vanavyantara, Jyotishka, Saudharma, and Ishana Kalpa Devas is seven Ratnis or hands. The Bhavadharaniya body of the Sanatkumara-Maheindra Devas is six hands. The Bhavadharaniya body of the Brahma-Lantaka Devas is five hands, the Maha-Shukra-Sahasrar Devas is four hands, the Anata-Pranata, Aran-Achyuta Devas is three hands, the Graiveyaka Devas is two hands, and the Uttara Vimanas is one hand. The Tiryanchas who are born from the womb, and the humans who are born from the womb, do not have a Bhavadharaniya Vaikriyika body, but some of them have a Vaikriyika body born from Labdhi-pratyaya. Not all of them. Even among them, it is only found in the Karmabhumij, Sankhyata-Varsha-Ayushk, and Paryaptak beings. Answer - The Vaikriyika body of a human being is about one hundred thousand Yojanas in perception, and that of the Devas is one hundred thousand Yojanas in perception. The Tiryanchas can have a perception of one hundred separate Yojanas at the most.
599 - How many kinds of Aharaya body are there, Bhagavan?
Gautama! It is of one kind.
It is of one kind, whether it is a human Aharaya body or a non-human Aharaya body?
Gautama! It is a human Aharaya body, not a non-human Aharaya body.
If it is a human Aharaya body, is it a गर्भवक्कं Tiryancha Aharaya body, a संमुच्छिम human Aharaya body?
Gautama! It is not a गर्भवक्कं Tiryancha Aharaya body, nor a संमुच्छिम human Aharaya body.
If it is a गर्भवक्कं Tiryancha Aharaya body, is it a Karmabhumig or Akarmabhumig?
Gautama! It is a Karmabhumig, not an Akarmabhumig.
