## Fifth Special Point (Paryaya-Pava)
[385] Regarding the Paryayas (alternatives) of Earth-bodied beings (composed of the six tastes and six touch-perceptions), it should be said (according to the previous sutra).
[470] [1] "Bhagavan! How many Paryayas are said for the Jhannamati-Agnani (ignorant with inferior intellect) Earth-bodied beings?"
"Gautama! Their Paryayas are said to be infinite."
"Bhagavan! For what reason is it said that the Paryayas of Jhannamati-Agnani Earth-bodied beings are infinite?"
"Gautama! One Jhannamati-Agnani Earth-bodied being is equal to another Jhannamati-Agnani Earth-bodied being in terms of substance, equal in terms of regions, but is a Chaturthasthanapatita (fallen from four states) in terms of understanding, a Tristhanapatita (fallen from three states) in terms of position, and a Shatasthanapatita (fallen from six states) in terms of the Paryayas of color, smell, taste, and touch; equal in terms of the Paryayas of intellect and ignorance; but a Shatasthanapatita in terms of the Paryayas of Shruta-Agnani (ignorant of scriptures) and Achakhu-Darshan (blind vision)."

[2] "Similarly, it should be said regarding the Paryayas of Utkrishta-mati-Agnani (ignorant with superior intellect) (Earth-bodied beings)."
[470-2] "Similarly, it should be said regarding the Paryayas of Utkrishta-mati-Agnani (ignorant with superior intellect) (Earth-bodied beings)."
[3] "Similarly, it should be said regarding the Paryayas of Ajhannamati-Anutkrishta-mati-Agnani (ignorant with neither inferior nor superior intellect) (Earth-bodied beings). The special point is that even in the Paryayas of intellect and ignorance, they are Shatasthanapatita (fallen from six states)."
[470-3] "Similarly, it should be said regarding the Paryayas of Ajhannamati-Anutkrishta-mati-Agnani (ignorant with neither inferior nor superior intellect) (Earth-bodied beings). The special point is that even in the Paryayas of intellect and ignorance, they are Shatasthanapatita (fallen from six states)."
[471] "Similarly, it should be said regarding the Paryayas of Shruta-Agnani (ignorant of scriptures) and Prachakhu-Darshani (those with clear vision) Earth-bodied beings."
