**[428]** According to the *Prajñāpanā*, there are nine types of body structures in terrestrial five-sensed beings:
(1) **Samcaturasrasamsthāna:** This structure is characterized by a body with a square shape.
(2) **Nyagrodhaparimaṇḍalasamsthāna:** This structure is named after the *Nyagrodha* tree (Banyan tree). Just as the upper part of the Banyan tree is wide and full, while the lower part is thin and narrow, similarly, a body with a full upper part (above the navel) and a thin lower part (below the navel) is called *Nyagrodhaparimaṇḍalasamsthāna*.
(3) **Sādisamsthāna:** The word *Sādi* refers to the lower part of the body, below the navel. A body with a full lower part (including the *Prādi* - the area below the navel) and a thin upper part is called *Sādisamsthāna*. Some teachers also call it *Sācisamsthāna*. *Sācī* refers to the *Śālmalī* tree (Silk Cotton tree). The trunk of the *Śālmalī* tree is very thick, but the upper part is not as wide or thick. Similarly, a body with a thick and full lower part and a thin upper part is called *Sācisamsthāna*.
(4) **Kubjakasamsthāna:** This structure is characterized by a body with a normal size of head, neck, arms, and legs, but with a bent, crooked, or humped chest and abdomen.
(5) **Vāmanasamsthāna:** This structure is characterized by a body with a normal size of chest and abdomen, but with thin arms, legs, and other limbs. Such a body is considered dwarf-like.
(6) **Huṇḍakasamsthāna:** This structure is characterized by a body with all limbs and organs being crooked and lacking in proper size and features.
**Nine *Ālāpaka* for Terrestrial Five-Sensed Beings:**
These nine *Ālāpaka* are as follows:
* One *Ālāpaka* for the collective five-sensed terrestrial beings, one for their *Paryāptakas* (those who have attained perfection), and one for their *Aparyāptakas* (those who have not attained perfection), making a total of three *Ālāpaka*.
* One *Ālāpaka* for the *Sammūcchima* five-sensed terrestrial beings, two for their *Paryāptakas* and *Aparyāptakas*, making a total of three *Ālāpaka*.
* One *Ālāpaka* for the *Garbhaj* five-sensed terrestrial beings, one for their *Paryāptakas*, and one for their *Aparyāptakas*, making a total of three *Ālāpaka*.
These nine *Ālāpaka* make a total of nine *Ālāpaka* for terrestrial five-sensed beings.
**Nine Sutras for the *Audārika* Body of Terrestrial Five-Sensed Beings:**
There are nine *Sutras* related to the *Audārika* body of terrestrial five-sensed beings:
* One *Sutra* for the collective terrestrial beings, one for their *Paryāptakas*, and one for their *Aparyāptakas*.
* One *Sutra* for the *Sammūcchima* terrestrial beings, one for their *Paryāptakas*, and one for their *Aparyāptakas*.
* One *Sutra* for the *Garbhaj* terrestrial beings, one for their *Paryāptakas*, and one for their *Aparyāptakas*.
