## 42] The nature of the sufficient and insufficient should be understood in the Prajñāpanā Sūtra.
**Ślakṣṇa Bādarapṛthvīkāyika**
Ślakṣṇa earth is called so because it is soft like finely ground flour. Living beings with the nature of such earth are also called Ślakṣṇa by treatment. Those Bādarapṛthvī beings whose bodies are Ślakṣṇa-soft are called Ślakṣṇa Bādarapṛthvīkāyika. This is mainly of seven types. Among them, the meaning of Paṇḍumattika is that in some countries, dust is also known as 'Paṇḍ'. The meaning of Panka-mṛttika has been given by the commentator as follows: The Ślakṣṇa-soft mud that remains on the land after the flood waters of a river, etc., recede, which is also called 'Jalamal', is Panka-mṛttika.
**Khar Bādarapṛthvīkāyika**
The verses presented here explain 40 distinctions of Khar Bādarapṛthvīkāyika. Finally, it is also said that all other gems like Padmarāga, etc., should be understood as belonging to this category.
**Nature of the Insufficient**
Among the two distinctions of Khar Bādarapṛthvīkāyika, the sufficient and the insufficient, the insufficient are either completely devoid of their sufficiencies or have not attained specific color, etc. From this perspective, it cannot be said that they are of the color Krishna, etc. The division of color, etc., in Bādar beings appears only when the body, etc., sufficiencies are complete, not in the incomplete state. And those insufficient beings die while remaining insufficient due to the Ucchvāsa sufficiency. Therefore, a clear division of color, etc., is not possible in them. From this perspective, they are called 'Asamprāpta'.
**Thousands of Distinctions of Color, etc., in the Sufficient**
Those who are sufficient, whose four appropriate sufficiencies are complete, have thousands of distinctions due to the differences in their color, smell, taste, and touch. For example, there are 5 distinctions of color, 2 of smell, 5 of taste, and 8 of touch. Then, there are many degrees of intensity in each color, smell, taste, and touch. For example, there are differences in the blackness of a bumblebee, a cuckoo, and kohl, etc. Therefore, there are many distinctions of Krishna color like Krishna, Krishna-tara, and Krishna-tama, etc. The same should be understood in the case of blue, etc., colors. Similarly, there are many such distinctions related to smell, taste, and touch. Similarly, countless colors like gray, spotted, etc., are produced by the mutual mixing of categories. Similarly, thousands of distinctions of smell, taste, and touch occur due to the mixing of one smell with another, one taste with another, and one touch with another.
**Lakhs of Yonis of Such Earth-bodied Beings**
There are lakhs of Yonis of the above-mentioned earth-bodied beings. This is what is said in the original text: 'Saṅkhejjāi Joṇippamuhasayasahassāi' - meaning 'There are lakhs of Yonis, including the main Yonis and the Yoni-doors'. For example, there is a closed Yoni of earth-bodied beings in each color, smell, taste, and touch. It is of three types: Saccitta, Acitta, and Miśra. Each of these has three distinctions: Śīta, Uṣṇa, and Śītoṣṇa. Due to the intensity of each of these Śīta, etc., there are many distinctions. Although in this way, the Yonis with specific color, etc., in their own place become countless due to the distinctions of individuals, they are all considered to be in the same Yoni with respect to the species (general). From this perspective, there are 1. (a) Prajñāpanā Sūtra, Malaya. Vṛtti, Folio 25-26 (b) See detailed discussion regarding Grāhāraparyāpti - Prajñāpanā. 28th Grāhārapada / 2. Prajñāpanā Sūtra.
