## [294] [Prajñāpanasūtra [1217 U.]] Gautama! A jīva with śuklaleśyā can have two, three, four, or one knowledge. If it has two (knowledges), then it has ābhinibodikjñāna and śruta-jñāna. If it has three or four knowledges, then it is as stated for those with kṛṣṇaleśyā in [Sūtra 1216-1], and so on up to four knowledges. It should be said that if it has one knowledge, then it has one kevalajñāna.
**Discussion:** In the two sūtras [1216-1217] presented here, which deal with the form of knowledge in jīvas with kṛṣṇā-ādi-leśyā, it has been established how many knowledges a jīva with kṛṣṇaleśyā to śuklaleśyā has.
**Absence of Avadhijñāna:** In some cases, there is also manaḥparyāyajñāna without avadhijñāna. This has been stated many times in texts like "Siddhāprābhūta" etc. The materials for the destruction and pacification of each knowledge are different. A person with a pure conduct, free from negligence, and possessing attainments like āmarṣa-prauṣadhi etc., obtains the materials for the destruction and pacification of the manaḥparyāyajñāna-āvaraṇa in a specific, pure determination. However, they do not obtain the materials for the destruction and pacification of the avadhijñāna-āvaraṇa. They have manaḥparyāyajñāna even without avadhijñāna.
**Manaḥparyāyajñāna in Kṛṣṇaleśyā:** There may be a doubt here: manaḥparyāyajñāna occurs in a person with an extremely pure result, and kṛṣṇaleśyā is a form of result that is full of saṃkleśa. How can a jīva with kṛṣṇaleśyā have manaḥparyāyajñāna? The solution is that the places of determination for each leśyā are as numerous as the loka-ākāśa-pradeśas. Among them, there are some places of determination with weak experiences, which are found in the state of pramatta-saṃyata. Although manaḥparyāyajñāna is produced only in a jīva with apratmatta-saṃyata, after being produced, it remains even in the state of pramatta. From this perspective, a jīva with kṛṣṇaleśyā can also be a manaḥparyāyajñānī.
**Characteristics of Śuklaleśyā:** A jīva with śuklaleśyā can also have kevalajñāna. Kevalajñāna is only for śuklaleśyā, not for any other. This is the characteristic that distinguishes a jīva with śuklaleśyā from those with other leśyās.
