[218] {There is also the *Prajñāpanā Sūtra*. 1. Or there is one (five-sensed, transmigratory) *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, 2. Or there are many (five-sensed, transmigratory beings) *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* / Discussion - The classification of *ekendriya*, *vikaleindriya*, and *tiryanch-panchendriya* with respect to *prayoga* - In the present three *sūtras* (from *sū*. 1080 to 1082), the classification of *prayoga* with respect to the oneness and multiplicity of beings from *ekendriya* to *tiryanch-panchendriya* has been done. The conclusion is that earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, and plant-bodied beings are always found in large numbers as *audārika-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, *audārika-miśra-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, and *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, therefore these three terms are in the plural, this is one *bhanga*; but in air-bodied beings, in addition to the aforementioned three *prayogas*, *kriyadvika* (i.e. *vaikriya-śarīra-kāya-prayoga* and *vaikriya-miśra-śarīra-kāya-prayoga*) are also found / That is - in air-bodied beings, these five terms are always found in multiplicity. The multiplicity of these five is one *bhanga*. All two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed beings are *asatyāmṛṣāvacana-prayogi*, because they neither use true speech, nor false speech, nor speech of both kinds / They are also *audārika-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* and *audārika-miśra-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* / Although there is a period of absence of *upapāta* for a moment in the beings of two senses etc., the period of absence of *upapāta* is short and the period of *audārika-miśra* is very large in measure. Therefore, *audārika-miśra-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* are always found in them. Thus, there is one *bhanga* of these three. Sometimes, not even one *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* is found in them, because the absence of their *upapāta* is said to be a moment. When they are found, they are found in the least as one or two, and in the best as innumerable / Thus, when not even one *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* is found, then there is the first *bhanga* of the aforementioned three terms. When one *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* is found, then there is the second *bhanga* specific to oneness / When many two-sensed etc. beings are *kārmāṇa-śarīra-prayogi*, then there is the third *bhanga*. The statement regarding the *prayoga* of five-sensed transmigratory beings should be known as similar to that of hell beings, but the special feature in them is that they are also *audārika-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* and *audārika-miśra-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* after *vaikriya-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* and *vaikriya-miśra-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* like hell beings. Besides this, there are 4 types of *manaḥ-prayoga* and four types of *vacana-prayoga*, by adding these 8 terms to the aforementioned 4 terms, a total of 12 terms are obtained, which are always found in multiplicity in five-sensed transmigratory beings. Sometimes, not even one *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi* is found in five-sensed transmigratory beings, because the period of absence of their *upapāta* is said to be a moment / When there is not even one *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, then there is the first *bhanga* mentioned above. When there is one *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, then there is the second *bhanga*, and when there are many *kārmāṇa-śarīra-kāya-prayogi*, then there is the third *bhanga*. 1. *Prajñāpanā Sūtra* *Malay.
