[56] From the Jiva-Jiva-Abhigamsutra, tell me, O Shraman, what are the characteristics of the Badar Apkayika, which are two-gated, three-gated, and countless in number, and which are found in the earth-body? [17] What is the nature of the Badar Apkayika? Badar Apkayika are said to be of many types, such as Pros, Him, and other similar forms of water. They are briefly of two types: sufficient and insufficient. / Thus, it should be said as before / The characteristic is that their institution is Stibuk (bubble). They have four Leshyas, six directions according to the Pahar rule, from the Tiryanch Yonic, humans and gods, the position should be known from the lowest to the innermost moment and the highest seven thousand years / The remaining Badar should be known like the earth-body, as long as they are two-gated, three-gated, each-bodied, and countless. / O Ayushman! O Shraman! This is the statement of the Badar Apkayika. With this, the authority of the Apkayika is complete. Discussion - After describing the earth-bodied beings, information about the Prakayika beings has been given in these two sutras. Apkayika beings are said to be of two types - subtle Apkayika and Badar Apkayika / Subtle Apkayika beings are present in all the lokas and Badar Apkayika beings are in places like Ghanodadhi etc. In relation to subtle Apkayika beings, the aforementioned 23 doors should be understood as the same as the subtle earth-bodied beings / Only the institution door is different. The institution of subtle earth-bodied beings is described as being like a lentil-shaped pulse, while the institution of subtle Apkayika beings is like a bubble. Badar Apkayika beings - Badar Apkayika beings are said to be of many types, such as Pros, ice, etc. / Their special description should be known according to the Prajnapan Sutra / That authority is as follows - 'Badar Apkayika beings are said to be of many types, such as Pros, Him (frozen water-ice) Mahika (subtle rain in the womb-month-Ar) Karak (hail) Haratanu (water drop remaining on the grass etc. that sprouts by breaking the ground), Shuddhodak (water falling from the sky or river etc.) Shitoadak (cold well etc. water) Ushnodak (hot spring water) Ksharodak (salty water) Khattodak (slightly sour water) Amlodak (more kanji-like sour water) Lavnodak (salt sea water) Varunodak (Varun sea water with a taste like wine) Kshirodadak (Kshirasamudra water) Ghritodak (Ghritvarasamudra water) Kshododak (Ikshurasasamudra water) and Rasodak (Pushkarvarasamudra water) etc., and there are other similar waters. They should all be understood as Badar Apkayika. They are of two types - sufficient and insufficient / In these, 1. Pracharanganiyukti and Uttaraadhyayan Pra. 36 verse 26 only mentions five types of Badar Apkayika: 1. Shuddhodak, 2. Pros, 3. Him, 4. Mahika Por 5. Haratanu /
