The Jiva-Jiva-Migam Sutra states that the **Bhavadharaniy** perception of the **Naryik** beings is from an **asankhyat** part of an **anguli** (finger) to **five hundred dhanush** (bows) in the **jghanya** (lowest) and **utkrisht** (highest) respectively. The **Uttarvaikriya** perception is from an **asankhyat** part of an **anguli** to **one thousand yojan** in the **jghanya** and **utkrisht** respectively.
**Bhawan:** How is the body of these beings constituted?
**Gautam:** They do not have any of the six types of **sanhann** (constitution) because their bodies do not have **haddi** (bone), **nadi** (vein), or **snayu** (muscle). The **pudgal** that are **anishta** (unpleasant), **akant** (unwanted), **apriya** (unloved), **ashubh** (inauspicious), **amanojnya** (unacceptable), and **amanam** (unwanted) gather together to form their bodies.
**Bhawan:** What is the **sansthan** (structure) of their bodies?
**Gautam:** Their bodies are of two types: **Bhavadharaniy** and **Uttarvaikriya**. The **Bhavadharaniy** bodies are of **hund** (round) structure, and the **Uttarvaikriya** bodies are also of **hund** structure.
These **Naryik** beings have **four kshaya** (passions), **four sanjna** (consciousness), **three leshya** (tendencies), **five indriya** (senses), and **four samudghat** (initial stages). They are both **sanjni** (conscious) and **asanjni** (unconscious). They are **napuंसक** (neuter) **ved** (knowledge) holders. They have **six paryapti** (sufficiency) and **six aparyapti** (insufficiency). They have **three drishti** (vision) and **three darshan** (perception). They are both **gyani** (knowledgeable) and **agyani** (ignorant). The **gyani** beings have **three types of knowledge** according to the rules: **bhatigyani** (knowledge of the past), **shrutigyani** (knowledge from scriptures), and **avadhigyani** (clairvoyance). The **agyani** beings have either **two types of ignorance** or **three types of ignorance**. The two types of ignorance are **matiagyani** (knowledge from reasoning) and **shrutagyani** (knowledge from scriptures). The three types of ignorance are **matiagyani**, **shrutagyani**, and **vibhanga** (knowledge of the parts). They have **three yog** (types of effort), **two upayog** (types of use), and **six disha** (directions) of **ahar grahan** (food intake). They usually consume **kala** (black) **pradi** (primary) **pudgal** as food. They are born as **Naryik** beings after receiving **tiyanch** (animals) and **manushya** (humans). Their **sthiiti** (duration) is from **ten thousand years** in the **jghanya** to **thirty-three sagaropama** (ocean-like) in the **utkrisht**. They die in both **samavahat** (simultaneous) and **asamavahat** (non-simultaneous) ways. After death, they are reborn as **garbhja** (born from womb), **tiryanch** (animals), and **manushya** (humans). They do not go to **sammuchim** (heaven). Therefore, **Ayushman Shraman**, they are said to be **two gati** (types of movement), **two agati** (types of arrival), **each shariri** (body-possessing), and **asankhyat** (innumerable).
This is the description of the **Naryik** beings.
**Vivechan:** This Sutra describes the types of **Naryik** beings through **twenty-three dvara** (gates). There are **seven types of Naryik beings**: 1. **Ratnaprabhaprithvi-Naryik**, 2. **Sharkaraprabhaprithvi-Naryik**, 3. **Valukaprabha-Naryik**, 4. **Pankaprabhaprithvi-Naryik**, 5. **Dhumaprabhaprithvi-Naryik**, 6. **Tamahprabhaprithvi-Naryik**, and 7. **Adhasaptamapৃthvi-Naryik**. In short, these **Naryik** beings are of two types: **paryapt** (sufficient) and **aparyapt** (insufficient).
The **sharira** (body) **dvara** (gate) of the **Naryik** beings is as follows: They do not have **oudarik** (material) bodies. Their bodies are **vaikriya** (changeable) by nature. Therefore, they have **three types of bodies**: **vaikriya**, **taijas** (luminous), and **karman** (karmic).
Their **avagahana** (perception) is of two types: **Bhavadharaniy** and **Uttarvaikriya**. The **Bhavadharaniy** is the perception that is present from birth. The **Uttarvaikriya** is the perception that is created later in a **vichitra** (strange) form for the **vairi** (enemy) **narak** (hell) **pratighāt** (resistance) in the **bhavanter** (future life).
