## 24] There are ten types of Jivaanivaabhigam / There is a difference in statements due to the difference in Vivaksha, but there is no contradiction in them. The Jivas, which are of two types, are also of three types from another perspective, four from another, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten types. Therefore, there is no contradiction in these nine types of Prathipattis / They are all correct and Samyag from different perspectives. The Vrittikar has also said in the context of the word 'Prathipatti' that Prathipatti is not only in the form of words but also that which leads to meaning through words. The Shabdavadvaadis believe that 'Shabdamatram Vishvam' / The whole world is only in the form of words, believing this will only prove the word, not the world / Therefore, the said belief is beyond truth. The truth is that the meaning is stated through words, only then can Prathipatti (knowledge) happen. Syadvad or Apekhavaad is the lifeblood of Jain principles. Therefore, the truth should be understood keeping in mind the expectations of Nay-Nikshep. The object is Anantdharmatmak. It is not one-sided and uniform. If the object is considered to be completely uniform, then the diversity of the world will not be consistent. The statement of the first Prathipatti is 9. Tatha Gan Je Evamhansu 'Duviha Sansarasamaavagnaga Jivaa Pagnata' Te Evamhansu Tan Jahatasa Chev Thavara Chev // [9] Those who state that there are two types of Sansarasamaapanak Jivas, they say that they are of two types due to the difference between As and Thavara. 10. Se Ki Tan Thavara? Yaavara Tiviha Pannaata, Tan Jaha1. Pudhavikaaiyaa 2. Aukkaaiyaa 3. Vanassaiikaaiyaa / [10] What is called Thavara? Thavara has been said to be of three types - . Yatha - 1. Prithvikaayik 2. Apkaayik and 3. Vanaspatikaayik / Discussion - In this Sutra, while describing the first Prathipatti out of the nine Prathipattis that describe the difference in Sansarasamaapanna Jivas, it is said that Sansaravarti Jivas are of two types - Pras and Thavara / All the beings of the world are included in these two differences. According to the etymology of 'Santiti Sa', those Jivas who can move from one place to another are called As. Those Jivas who move from one place to another due to being heated by the heat or who go to the sun due to fear of cold, are the Jivas who can move around. Jivas who have the Asnaamakarm Uday are called As, from this perspective, Dwiindriya, Triindriya, Chaturindriya and Panchendriya Jivas come under As.
