THE DOCTRINE OF KARMAN
The undeveloped vikalendriyas. These differ from the paryāptas only in the following points :
cognition : mati-ajñāna, śruta-ajñāna, acakşur-darśana. activity : kārmana- and audārika-miśra-kāya-yoga. belief : mith yātva and sāsvādana-samyaktva. gunasthānas: 1, 2.

The five-sensed animals. Animals with 5 senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing) are of three species : aquatic animals (such as fishes and dolphins), terrestrial animals (such as elephants) and air-animals (such as geese). They are divided into two groups: reasonable (samjñin) and unreasonable (asamjñin) beings. “The reasonable beings are those endowed with an inner sense (manas)". (Tattv. II 25). Reason considers the state of a thing in the present, past and future (bhūta-bhavad-bhāvibhāva-svabhāva-paryālocanam Kg. I 96a). The asamjñins do not possess this capability, they act from instinct. The five-sensed animals proceeding from a womb (garbha-vyutkrāntāḥ pañcendriyatiryag- yonijāḥ Siddhasena ad Tattv. II 25), such as cattle, goats, sheep, elephants, lions, tigers, possess reason. Pañcendriyas belong to the male, female and 3rd sex.
