## 162] [Jiva-Jiva-Abhigamsutra Bhagavan! How long does an Asiddha, a Prasiddha, remain as such? Gautama! There are two types of Prasiddha Jivas: Anadi-A paryavasit and Anadi-Sapyaravasit. (Anadi-A paryavasit Prasiddha remains Prasiddha forever, and Anadi-Sapyaravasit remains in the Asiddha form until attaining liberation.) Bhagavan! What is the difference between a Siddha and a Prasiddha? Gautama! There is no difference between a Sadi-A paryavasit and a Prasiddha. Bhagavan! What is the difference between an Asiddha and a Prasiddha? Gautama! There is no difference between an Anadi-A paryavasit Prasiddha and an Anadi-Sapyaravasit Prasiddha. Bhagavan! Among these Siddhas and Prasiddhas, who is less, more, equal or superior to whom? Gautama! Siddhas are the fewest, and Prasiddhas are infinitely more numerous than them.
**Explanation:** Just as nine types of Prathipattis are mentioned in the context of the Jivas who are involved in the ending of the world, similarly, nine Prathipattis are also mentioned in the context of all Jivas.

(8) Some say that all Jivas are of nine types, namely Ekeindriya, Dwiindriya, Triindriya, Chaturindriya, Nairyik, Tiryanch, Manushya, Deva and Siddha.
