Ashtama Sanjnapana
[729] Similarly, one should understand the Sanjnas (perceptions/cognitions) found in the Prithvikayikas (earth-bodied beings) up to the Vaimanika (celestial) beings.
The exposition of the Sanjnas found in the Nairayikas (hell-beings) up to the Vaimanikas is presented in four sutras. In all the ten Sanjnas found in the beings from the Nairayikas to the Vaimanikas, the general form is that all the twenty-four Dandakavritti (worldly) beings possess these ten Sanjnas. In the Ekendriyas (one-sensed beings), these Sanjnas exist in an unmanifest form, while in the Pancendriyas (five-sensed beings), they are clearly known. Here, these Sanjnas are mostly described in relation to the Pancendriyas.
Consideration of Sanjnas in Narakas (hells)
[730 Q.] Bhagavan! Are the Nairayikas (hell-beings) endowed with the Aharasanjnopayukta (food-perception), Bhasanjnopayukta (fear-perception), Maithunasanjnopayukta (sexual-perception), or Parigrahasanjnopayukta (possession-perception)?
[730 A.] Gautama! Due to the prevalence of the external cause, they are Bhasanjnopayukta (endowed with fear-perception), but due to the continuity of existence, they are also Aharasanjnopayukta and up to Parigrahasanjnopayukta.
[731 Q.] Bhagavan! Among these Nairayikas who are Aharasanjnopayukta, Bhasanjnopayukta, Maithunasanjnopayukta, and Parigrahasanjnopayukta, which ones are fewer, more, equal, or specially superior?
[731 A.] Gautama! The Maithunasanjnopayukta Nairayikas are the fewest, the Aharasanjnopayukta are countless times more, the Parigrahasanjnopayukta are countless times more than them, and the Bhasanjnopayukta are countless times more than even them.
