## Translation:
**252]** A special feature of the actions of the hell-beings is this: There are three types of five-sensed beings (**tiryanch**), namely: **Samyagdristi**, **Mithyadristi**, and **Samyamihyadristi**.
Of these, those who are **Samyagdristi** are of two types: **Asanyata** and **Sanyatasanyata**.
Those who are **Sanyatasanyata** have three actions: **Prarambhiki**, **Parigrahiki**, and **Mayapratyaya**.
Those who are **Asanyata** have four actions: 1. **Prarambhiki**, 2. **Parigrahiki**, 3. **Mayapratyaya**, and 4. **Apratyaakhyanakriya**.
Of the three mentioned above, those who are **Mithyadristi** and those who are **Samyamihyadristi** definitely have five actions: 1. **Prarambhiki**, 2. **Parigrahiki**, 3. **Mayapratyaya**, 4. **Apratyaakhyanakriya**, and 5. **Mithyadarshanapratyaya**.
The rest of the descriptions should be done in the same way (as before).
**Discussion:**
From earth-bodied beings to five-sensed beings (**tiryanch**), the seven gates (**samahar** etc.) have been described in the five sutras (from sutra 1137 to 1141).
From earth-bodied beings to five-sensed beings (**tiryanch**), the seven gates (**samahar** etc.) have been described in the five sutras (from sutra 1137 to 1141).
The earth-bodied beings have a small body (**alpasarira**) and a large body (**mahasarira**). Although the body of all earth-bodied beings is only as large as an infinitesimal part of a finger, the Agamas state that "one earth-bodied being is four-fold fallen compared to another earth-bodied being in terms of their ability to understand each other," etc.
Accordingly, they are proven to be relatively large-bodied and small-bodied.
Those who are large-bodied (**mahasarira**) consume a lot of **pudgala** due to their large body, they breathe heavily, and they eat and breathe frequently.
Those who are small-bodied (**alpasarira**) consume less food and breathe less due to their small body. They may eat and breathe, but this should be understood in relation to the state of sufficiency and insufficiency.
Why do earth-bodied beings etc. have sensations?
All earth-bodied beings are **asangyi** (unconscious), meaning they are **mithyadristi** (false-sighted) or **amanaska** (mindless).
They experience unconscious and uncontrolled sensations.
This means that even though they experience sensations like those of a drunk or unconscious person, they do not understand that this is the result of their past evil karma, because they are **asangyi** and **mithyadristi**.
The meaning of **maya**:
Here, **maya** does not only mean **mayakshaya** (the subtle attachment), but it also means the four **kshayas** (attachments) that are bound to infinity, by implication.
Therefore, the meaning of **maya** here is **mithyadristi** (false-sighted), because it means having the **kshayas** that are bound to infinity.
**1142.** "Master, do the earth-bodied beings have **samahar** (intake)?"
"Yes, they do."
"How?"
"They have it through the mind, which is of two types: **mahasarira** (large-bodied) and **appasarira** (small-bodied)."
"Then, those who are..."
