[ Necessary Sutra
13. *Iryapathiki kriya* is the action that a non-negligent, wise, and restrained person performs for the purpose of movement.
Fourteen *Bhootgram*
*Sukshma kendriya*, *badar ekendriya*, *dwiindriya*, *triindriya*, *chaturindriya*, *asangni panchendriya*, and *sangni panchendriya* - these seven have sufficient and insufficient, making a total of fourteen categories. To harm them, to inflict any kind of pain on them, is an act of violence.

Discussion - Jain scriptures mention the different categories of living beings in detail to ensure the meticulous observance of non-violence and to avoid violence. This is because one cannot avoid harming a living being without properly identifying it. Here, fourteen groups of living beings, *Bhootgram*, are mentioned, which encompass all living beings in the world.
*Sukshma* beings are those that are present throughout the universe but are not visible to the naked eye. They are so subtle that they do not die when killed and do not get cut when cut. They are beings with the *sukshma* karma arising, and they are all *ekendriya* stationary beings. Keep in mind that beings with small bodies like *kunthuva* are not counted among these *sukshma* beings. *Kunthuva* and other such beings have *badar* karma arising, therefore they are counted among *badar* - *tras* beings.
*Paryapti* means the fullness of a being's power. When a being takes a new birth, it needs *pudgalas* that are useful for the formation of its new body, senses, etc. The fullness of the power to absorb those *pudgalas* and transform them into the form of body, senses, language, etc. is called *paryapti*. Beings that have achieved this fullness are called *paryapt*. Until that power is complete, they are called *aparyapt*. There are four *paryaptis* in *ekendriya* beings, five in beings from *dwiindriya* to *asangni panchendriya*, and six in *sangni* - *samansk* beings. The fulfillment of all the *paryaptis* possible for a being happens in a single *antarmuhurt* (a very short period of time).
Fifteen *Parmadharmic*
1. *Amb*, 2. *Ambarish*, 3. *Shyam*, 4. *Shabal*, 5. *Roudra*, 6. *Uparoudra*, 7. *Kal*, 8. *Mahakal*, 9. *Asipatra*, 10. *Dhanuh*, 11. *Kumbh*, 12. *Baluk*, 13. *Vaitarani*, 14. *Kharswar*, 15. *Mahaghoosh*. These are the supreme *adharmic*, sinful, cruel, and merciless *asura* deities. They torture the beings in hell for no reason, just for their own amusement. Their specific characteristics are as follows:
1. *Amb* takes the beings of hell to the sky and throws them down, grabs them by the neck and throws them into pits.
