This is a description of the prevalence of insufficient and then sufficient. In the same order, the lifespan of all types of hell beings, etc., has been considered. From the observation of the list of situations, it is known that the lifespan of a woman is less than that of a man / the lifespan of hell beings and gods is more than that of humans and animals. Among the one-sensed beings, the lifespan of the fire body is the least. This is also experienced in both direct and indirect experience. Because fire extinguishes faster than other beings, the lifespan of the earth body is the longest. The reason why the lifespan of two-sensed to three-sensed beings is less is worth considering. Then the lifespan of four-sensed beings is more, but less than that of two-sensed beings, this is also a mystery and a subject of research. The situation of the non-living is not considered in the present verse / the reason for this seems to be that dharma, adharma and space are eternal and the state of pudgalas is also from one time to countless times, which is described in the fifth verse. Therefore, it was not necessary to instruct it separately. Then, the present verse considers the situation created by the karma of lifespan, and that is not present in the non-living. '22 synonyms: One contemplation is the name of the fifth verse, special word. The word special has two meanings (1) type and (2) synonym / In the first verse, the types, differences and sub-differences of these two substances, living and non-living, have been described, then in these, there is a description of the infinite synonyms of these substances. It has been clarified there that each substance has infinite synonyms, then the whole will also have infinite synonyms and the synonyms of the substance are results, then that substance cannot be eternally stable, but it has to be considered eternally resulting. This information also implies that the nature of the object is in the form of substance and synonym. This verse is named 'vises', but this word is not used in the sutra / the word synonym is used in the entire verse. This word synonym is of special importance in Jain scriptures, therefore there is no difference between synonym or special. Here the word synonym is used in the sense of type or difference and state or result. The word synonym was prevalent in Jain Agamas, but the word 'special' is used in Vaisheshika philosophy, so the use of that word can be in the sense of synonym and also in the sense of difference of the substance of the object - it seems that the Acharya has given the name "vises" to this chapter to tell this. The present verse describes the differences and synonyms in the living and non-living substances. The description of the differences was in the first verse, but there are infinite synonyms in each difference, the information of this fact is the specialty of this fifth verse. In this, 24 Dandakas and 25th Siddha, thus their number and synonyms have been considered. The synonyms of the hell-being, etc., differences of the living substance have been considered from many types and many perspectives. In this, the Jain-approved Anekanta-drishti has been used. In the differences of hell-being, etc., of the living being, which are the synonyms, the consideration has been done from these ten perspectives: substance-ness, region-ness, penetration-ness, situation, black, etc., color, smell, taste, touch, knowledge and perception. The order of consideration is as follows: the question was asked how many synonyms are there of hell beings? In reply, it was said that there are infinite synonyms of hell beings. In this, the differences of number, countless and infinite 122. Pannavanasutra-Introduction Punyavijayaji Maharaj, p. 60
