The fifteenth Indriya-pada: The first Uddesaka [147 is the Prarupana, (18) Vasadvara - this describes the subject of fat, (16) Kambaladvara - this describes the subject of blankets, (20) Sthunanadvara - this describes the subject of Sthuna (stupa or stump), (21) Thiggaladvara - this describes the subject of Akash Thiggal, (22) Dvipodhadhidvara - this describes the subject of islands and oceans, (23) Lokadvara - this describes the subject of Lokas, and (24) Alokadvara - this describes the subject of Alok. The number of Indriyas is 973. How many, O Venerable One! are the Indriyas said to be? [973 U.] Gautama! Five Indriyas are said to be. They are as follows: (1) Shrotrendriya, (2) Chakshusindriya, (3) Ghrānendriya, (4) Jihvendriya and (5) Sparshendriya. Discussion - The number of Indriyas - In the present Sutra, the Prarupana of the five Indriyas, Shrotrendriya etc., is done. Other philosophical views - In the Sankhya, Yoga, etc., Darshanas, the five Indriyas, Shrotrendriya etc., are called Jnanendriyas, and Vak, Pani (hand), Pad (foot), Payu (urinary tract) and Upastha (anus), these five Indriyas are called Karmendriyas. But the acceptance of five Karmendriyas is not logical. In Jain Darshan, two types of each, Dravyendriya and Bhavendriya, and two types of Dravyendriya, Nivritti and Upkarana, and two types of Bhavendriya, Labdhi and Upayoga, are described. Their description will be done in the second Uddesaka of this Pada. The first Sansthanadvara 674. [1] O Venerable One! How is Shrotrendriya said to be? [974-1 U.] Gautama! (It) is said to be of the shape of Kadambapushpa. [2] O Venerable One! How is Chakshusindriya said to be? [974-2 U.] Gautama! (Chakshusindriya) is said to be of the shape of Masur-Chandra. 1.
