This is the fifteenth Indriyapad of the Prajnapana Sutra. * Indriyas are the instruments for recognizing the soul, through them the existence of the soul is perceived. * This pad analyzes all aspects related to the Indriyas. It has two Uddesakas / The first Uddesaka initially states the 24 Dvaras / The second Uddesaka describes the Indriyas through 12 Dvaras. The first Uddesaka discusses 6 Dvaras from Sansthana to Alpabahutva, considering them in relation to the 24 Dandakas / Subsequently, the description of the seventh Sprustdvara to the ninth Dvara, called Vishaya, is presented / These Dvaras are not considered in relation to the twenty-four Dandakas, but rather in relation to the Indriyas. Following this, there is a discussion of the Indriyas, particularly the Chakshusindriya, in relation to Angara and Aahara. Subsequently, from the twelfth to the eighteenth Dvara, there is a description, particularly related to the Chakshusindriya, through the Dvaras from Adarsa to Vasa. Then, through the 6 Dvaras from Kambala, Sthuna (Stambh), Thiggal, Dvipodhi, Lok and Alok, there is a description, particularly related to the Sparshendriya. In the second Uddesaka, the nature and types of Indriyas are described through the 12 Dvaras of Upacaya, Nirvartana, Samaya, Labdhi, Upayogakala, Alpabahutva, Avgrahana, Iha, Avaya, Vyanjanavgraha, Dravyendriya and Bhavendriya, and at the same time, they are considered in relation to the 24 Dandakas. * The first four, Upacaya, Nirvartana, Labdhi and Upayoga, are included in Dravyendriya at the beginning and the last two in Bhavendriya. * Acharya Malayagiri has considered the Adarshadvara etc. to be related to the visible object / Whatever the visible object may be, the object that the soul uses or chooses is considered to be the visible object, so when seeing a reflection, the perception, use or choice is related to the reflection object in Adarsa etc. There is an interesting discussion about this in Nishothabhashya etc. * In the Dravyendriya and Bhavendriya Dvaras, the 24 Dandakavarti Jivas are discussed in detail, both in the Pratot, Baddha (present) and Anagat (future) Indriyas / 00 1.
