## First Understanding: Description of Earth-bodied Beings
[29] There are two types of insufficient beings: 1. **Labdhi-aparapti** and 2. **Karan-aparapti**.
A being who has not fulfilled its own appropriate **paryapti** and will not do so in the future, meaning it will die insufficient, is **Labdhi-aparapti**.
A being who has not fulfilled its own appropriate **paryapti** but will do so in the future is **Karan-aparapti**.
Thus, due to the difference between **paryapti** and **aparapti** in subtle earth-bodied beings, there are two types.
To further explain the subtle earth-bodied beings, two **sangrahani** verses are given here:
> **"Sarirogahana sanghayana santhana kasaya taha hanthi sannao. Lesidiya samugdhaae sanni bee ya pajjatti."** // 1 //
> **"Vitthi san naane joguvanoge taha ki mahare / Ubavaay thii samugghyaay chavan gairaagai cheva."** // 2 //
Further, the subtle earth-bodied beings will be described through 23 **dwaras**. These 30 **dwaras** are: 1. **Sharira**, 2. **Avagahana**, 3. **Sanhanan**, 4. **Sansthan**, 5. **Kasaya**, 6. **Sanjna**, 7. **Leshya**, 8. **Indriya**, 9. **Samudghta**, 10. **Sanji-asanji**, 11. **Ved**, 12. **Paryapti**, 13. **Drishti**, 14. **Darshan**, 15. **Jnana**, 16. **Yoga**, 17. **Upayoga**, 18. **Ahar**, 19. **Upapat**, 20. **Sthiti**, 21. **Samavahat-asamavahat maran**, 22. **Chyavan**, and 23. **Gati-pragati**.
The following sutras will discuss these 23 **dwaras** through questions and answers. Following the principle of "**Yathouddesha tatha nirdhesha**", the first discussion will be about **Sharira** and other **dwaras** in order:
[1] **"Tesi nan bhanta! Jiwaanam kati sariraya pannta? Goyama! To sariraga pannta, tanjaha-oralie, teyaye, kammae."**
[1] **"O Bhagavan! How many bodies are described for these subtle earth-bodied beings?"**
**"Gautama! Three bodies are described, such as 1. Audarik, 2. Taijas, and 3. Karman."**
[2] **"Tesi nan bhanta! Jiwaanam kemahaaliya sarirogahana pannta? Goyama! Jahannenam angulasankhejjahbhagam ukkosenavi angulasankhejjai bhagam."**
[2] **"O Bhagavan! How big is the **avagahana** of the body of these beings?"**
**"Gautama! The smallest is an immeasurable part of an angul, and the largest is also an immeasurable part of an angul."**
