[368] [Prajñāpanasūtra] Either the number of guṇas is less or the innumerable guṇas are less. If it is more, then the innumerable parts are more or the number of parts are more, or the number of guṇas are more or the innumerable guṇas are more / Depending on the situation, it is possibly less, possibly equal, possibly more / If it is less, then the innumerable parts are less, or the number of parts are less, or the number of guṇas are less. If it is more, then the innumerable parts are more, or the number of parts are more, or the number of guṇas are more / In comparison to the (alternatives) of colors, smells, tastes, and touches, (one earth-bodied being from another earth-bodied being) is ṣaṭsthānapatita in comparison to the alternatives of mati-ajñāna, śruta-ajñāna, and acakṣudarśana. 444. [444 Pr.] Bhagavan! How many paryāyas are there for the apkāyika jīvas? [444 U.] Gautama! There are infinite paryāyas for them. [Pr.] Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite paryāyas for the apkāyika jīvas? [U] Gautama! One apkāyika is equal to another apkāyika in terms of dravya, equal in terms of regions, but is catur-sthānapatita (lesser or greater) in terms of avagāhana, tri-sthānapatita (lesser or greater) in terms of sthiti, and ṣaṭsthānapatita (lesser or greater) in terms of the paryāyas of color, smell, taste, touch, mati-ajñāna, śruta-ajñāna, and acakṣudarśana.

Why is it said that there are infinite paryāyas for the tejas-kāyika jīvas? [U.] Gautama! One tejas-kāyika is equal to another tejas-kāyika in terms of dravya, equal in terms of regions, but is catur-sthānapatita (lesser or greater) in terms of avagāhana, tri-sthānapatita (lesser or greater) in terms of sthiti, and ṣaṭsthānapatita (lesser or greater) in terms of the paryāyas of color, smell, taste, touch, mati-ajñāna, śruta-ajñāna, and acakṣudarśana.
