40] [Prajnapana Sutra - In addition to these, other types of (such) (Padmaraga etc. gem varieties) should also be understood as Kshara Badara Prithvi Kayika / ) 25. [1] Te Samasato Duviha Pannta / Tan Jaha - Pajjattama Ya Appajjattagaya. [25-1] They (the aforementioned general Badara Prithvi Kayika) are said to be of two types in summary / They are as follows - Paryapta and Aparyapta / [2] Tastha Nan Je Te Appajjataga Te Nan Asampatta. [25-2] Of those who are Aparyapta, they are not attained (by the worthy Paryaptis) / [3] Tattha Nan Je Te Pajjattagaya Etesin Nan Vagnadesena Gandhadesena Rasadesena Phasadesena Sahasragaso Vihanai, Sankhejjai Jonippa Muhsatasahasai. Pajjattagnissae Appajjataga Bakkamati - Jaththa Ego Tattha Niyama Asankhijjai. Se Tan Kharabadarpuduvikayiya. Se Tan Badarpuduvikayiya. Se Tan Puduvikayiya. [25-3] Of those who are Paryapta, there are thousands (sahasrasha) of distinctions (vidhana) in terms of their color, smell, taste, and touch / (Their) number is lakhs of Yoni-prominent (Yoni-dwar). In the shelter of the Paryaptakas, the Aparyaptakas are born (by obtaining) / Where there is one (Paryapta), there are countless Aparyaptakas (born) by rule (from his shelter): This is the description of those (aforementioned) Kshara Badara Prithvi Kayikas / (Along with that) the description of the Badara Prithvi Kayikas is complete. (With its completion) the description of the Prithvi Kayikas is complete. Discussion - The Prithvi Kayika beings have been described in the six Sutras presented in the Prajnapana (Sutras 20 to 25) in terms of their two main types and their sub-types. Explanation of the subtle Prithvi Kayika and the Badara Prithvi Kayika - Those beings who have the rise of the subtle name-karma are called subtle. Such Prithvi Kayika beings are subtle Prithvi Kayikas / Those who have the rise of the Badara name-karma are called Badara. Such Prithvi Kayikas are called Badara Prithvi Kayikas. One should not understand the subtlety and Badara-ness here as it is in the case of berries and gooseberries / Here, one should understand subtle and Badara only in terms of the rise of (name-) karma. In the original, the word 'cha' is used to indicate the many sub-types of subtle and Badara, such as Paryapta and Aparyapta, and sub-types such as sugar, sand, etc. 'Subtle are in all the worlds. According to this statement of the Uttaradhyayanasutra, subtle Prithvi Kayika beings are packed in all the worlds, just as the fragrance of a fragrant substance fills a box when it is put in it. Badara Prithvi Kayikas are in fixed places in the Lokakasha. This will be explained in the second part.' 1.
