**[28] The order and time of the *Jiva-Jiva-Abhigamsutra* perfections:**
All perfections begin simultaneously, but their completion occurs at different times. First, the *Ahar-Paryapti* (food perfection) is completed, followed by the *Sharira* (body), *Indriya* (sense organs), *Shwaso-chchwas* (breathing), *Bhasha* (speech), and *Manah-Paryapti* (mind perfection) in order. Each subsequent perfection is more subtle than the previous one. Just as six people sitting together spinning thread, the one who spins finer thread will take longer than the one who spins coarser thread.
*Ahar-Paryapti* is the most gross, and *Manah-Paryapti* is the most subtle. The time for *Ahar-Paryapti* is one moment. It is completed in one moment. The proof of this is found in the *Prajnapana* (scripture) in the section on food, where it is asked: "Is an *aparyapt* (imperfect) being with *Ahar-Paryapti* a *praharak* (eater) or an *anahaarak* (non-eater)?" The answer is that it is not a *praharak*, but an *anahaarak*. An *aparyapt* being with *Ahar-Paryapti* is only in the *vigrah-gati* (state of disintegration) and is not found in the *upapat-kshetra* (realm of rebirth). A being who has entered the *upapat-kshetra* is a *praharak* from the very first moment. This proves that the time of completion of *Ahar-Paryapti* is one moment. If it were still *aparyapt* with *Ahar-Paryapti* even after entering the *upapat-kshetra*, then the *Prajnapana* would have answered, "Perhaps a *praharak* and perhaps an *anahaarak*," as it has done for the *Sharira* (body) and other perfections.
After this, the *Sharira* (body) and other perfections are completed one by one in each *antar-muhurt* (sub-moment). The time of completion of all perfections is also *antar-muhurt* proof, because *antar-muhurt* is also of many types.
**How many perfections for each type of being?**
* **Ekaindriya** (one-sense) beings have four perfections: 1. *Ahar*, 2. *Sharira*, 3. *Indriya*, and 4. *Shwaso-chchwas*.
* **Dwiindriya** (two-sense), **Triindriya** (three-sense), **Chaturindriya** (four-sense), and **Asanjnī Panchendriya** (non-conscious five-sense) beings have five perfections: the previous four and *Bhasha-Paryapti* (speech perfection).
* **Sanjnī Panchendriya** (conscious five-sense) beings have all six perfections.
*Ahar*, *Sharira*, and *Indriya* - these three perfections are completed by every being. Only after completing these can a being bind the *prayu* (karma) of the next birth. No being can die without binding the *ay* (karma) of the next birth.
In relation to these three perfections, every being is *paryapt* (perfect). However, the division of *paryapt* and *aparyapt* is not based on these three perfections, but on the completion or incompletion of the perfections specific to each type of being.
**Those who complete their own perfections are *paryapt* beings, and those who do not complete their own perfections are *aparyapt* beings.** For example, a *Ekaindriya* being has four perfections. An *Ekaindriya* being who completes these four perfections is *paryapt*, and one who does not complete them is *aparyapt*.
**There are two types of *paryapt* beings:**
1. **Labdhi-Paryapt:** A being who has not yet completed its own perfections but will definitely complete them in the future.
2. **Karan-Paryapt:** A being who has completed its own perfections.
