## Fifth Special Point (Synonym Point) [387]
Two types of ignorance have been described. Similarly, since earth-bodied beings lack the eye sense, they do not have eye-sight. Therefore, only non-eye-sight has been described here. / The middle color, etc., with qualities like earth-bodied beings, etc., have the same place in terms of synonym quantity - like the inferior and superior black color, etc. There is no possibility of less or more in them, in that way the place of the middle black color is not one. / One part black color, etc., is inferior and the black color, etc., with the most parts is called superior. There are infinite alternatives of black color, etc., between these two. / For example, two-quality black, three-quality black, four-quality black, ten-quality black, countable-quality black, uncountable-quality black, infinite-quality black. / Similarly, one should understand about other colors and smell, taste, and touch. Therefore, there are infinite middle synonyms of black color above the inferior quality black and below the superior quality black. The meaning is that the synonym of the inferior and superior quality, etc., is one, but the synonyms of the middle quality black color, etc., are infinite. This is the reason why even if two earth-bodied beings are of middle quality black color, there can be infinite differences and more in them. / With this intention, the less and more of the six-place-fallen has been described everywhere in the proper place. Similarly, one should understand the six-place-fallen everywhere in the future. Like earth-bodied beings, the synonym-related description of other single-sensed beings should be understood according to the earth-bodied beings formula, as described in formula 472. Like the earth-bodied beings formula, the inferior, superior, and middle, substance, region, immersion, position, color, etc., and knowledge-ignorance, etc., of non-bodied, luminous-bodied, air-bodied, and plant-bodied beings should be understood according to their respective less and more. / The synonym of the immersion, etc., with inferior, etc., of special defective-sensed beings 473.

For what reason is it said that infinite synonyms have been said for two-sensed beings? **[A.]** Gautama!
