## Seventeenth Leshyapad: Second Uddeshak
[281 1167. Of the Panchendriya Tiryanchas, Tiryancha women, Sammuchhimas, and Garbhajas, those with Krishna Leshya are the least intelligent, and those with Shukla Leshya are the most intelligent. [1197] Similarly, among the Vaimanika Devas, those with Tejo Leshya are the least intelligent, and those with Shukla Leshya are the most intelligent. (Here, the statement of least and most intelligence should be made.) 1168. Some Acharyas say that the statement of Riddhi should be made by taking the twenty-four Dandakas. // The second Uddeshak is complete. [1198]
**Explanation:**
In the eight sutras (1191 to 1198) presented in this section, the concept of least and most intelligence is discussed for both ordinary beings and the twenty-four Dandakas, who are distinguished by their Krishna and other Leshyas. The conclusion is that those with lower Leshyas are less intelligent, and those with higher Leshyas are more intelligent. Similarly, in the case of Narakas, Tiryanchas, Manusyas, and Devas, one should understand the order of least and most intelligence by considering the Leshyas they possess. From Prakayikas to Chaturindriya beings, those with Krishna Leshya are the least Riddhi-possessing, and those with Tejo Leshya are the most Riddhi-possessing. This should be stated universally. // Seventeenth Leshyapad: Second Uddeshak complete. / / 1. Prajnapanasutra Malaya. Vritti, Patranka 252
