[132] **Prajñāpanā Sūtra** [3] **Siddhā aṇāhārā.** [1881-3] The liberated soul is non-consuming. / [1882-1] **Puhatteṇam gosanṇī-ṇoasanṇī jīvā pāhārāga vi aṇāhārāga vi.** [1882-1] From the perspective of multiplicity, non-sentient and non-cognizant souls are both consuming and non-consuming. [1882-2] **Maṇūsesu tiyabhangō.** [1882-2] (From the perspective of multiplicity, non-sentient and non-cognizant) there are three divisions (found) in humans. [1882-3] **Siddhā aṇāhārāga.** [Third Gate] **Daram 3** // [1882-3] (Many) liberated souls are non-consuming. [Third Gate] **Discussion:** Sentient-Non-sentient: Those who are endowed with mind are called sentient / Non-sentient is mindless / The question arises: Even in the state of disintegration, the sentient soul does not have a mind, in such a situation, how can it be non-consuming? The solution is that even after attaining the state of disintegration, the soul that is experiencing the lifespan of a sentient being is still called sentient at that time, even in the absence of mind, just as a hell-bound being who has attained the state of disintegration after experiencing the lifespan of a hell-being is still called a hell-being. One-sensed and multi-sensed beings are not sentient due to being mindless, therefore, one should not ask questions about one-sensed and multi-sensed beings in the context of sentience. There is no non-sentience in celestial beings and aerial beings - there is no practice of non-sentience in celestial beings and aerial beings, therefore, one should not call them non-sentient. Non-sentient and non-cognizant souls are consuming and non-consuming - such a soul is perhaps consuming and perhaps non-consuming from the perspective of oneness, because in the absence of the state of Kevali-samudghāta, it is consuming, in the remaining state, it is non-consuming / From the perspective of multiplicity, there are two divisions found in them. For example - (1) There are many non-sentient and non-cognizant souls who are consuming, because there are many Kevalis who are devoid of the state of samudghāta / Liberated souls are non-consuming, therefore, there are many who are non-consuming / There are three divisions found in non-sentient and non-cognizant humans (1) When no Kevali is in the state of samudghāta, then all are consuming, this is the first division, (2) When many humans are in the state of samudghāta and one Kevali is in the state of samudghāta, then this is the second division, (3) When many Kevalis have attained the state of samudghāta, then this is the third division / / **Fourth:** **Leshyādvār** 1883.
