In these six stanzas, 29 characteristics have been described with an emphasis over one point that none of these characteristics is of Jīva (soul). These 29 are: color, smell, taste, touch, visible form, body, bodily configuration (Samsthāna), skeletal structure (Samhanana), inclination of attachment (Rāga), inclination of aversion (Dveșa), Moha, Pratyaya, Kārmika matter, Nokarma (physical body and other material possessions), Varga, Vargaņā, Spardhaka, AdhyātmaSthāna, AnubhāgaSthāna, Yoga-Sthāna, BandhaSthāna, Udaya-Sthāna, MārgaņāSthāna, Stithi-Bandha-Sthāna, SamkleśaSthāna, Visuddhi-Sthāna, Samyama-Labdhi-Sthāna, JīvaSthāna, and Guņasthāna.
The meanings of color, smell, taste, touch, visible form, and body are known to everyone. Bodily configuration (Samsthāna) refers to the shape of the physical body. There are six kinds of bodily configurations (Samsthāna): (a) Samacaturasra, (b) Nyagrodhaparimamdala; (c) Svāti, (d) Kubjaka, (e) Vāmana, and (f) Hundaka. A perfectly symmetrical body is known as Samacaturasra. Nyagrodhaparimaņdala refers to a body that is top-heavy. Svāti refers to a body that is long and thin. Kubjaka is used to signify a body that is hunch-backed, a dwarfish body is called Vāmana, and Hundaka means an ugly body.
Skeletal structure (Samhanana) specifies the nature of joints of the bones. There are six types of joints: (a) VajraVrşabhaNārāca, (b) VajraNārāca, (c) Nārāca, (d) ArdhaNārāca, (e) Kīlika, and (f) Asamprāptāsșapātikā.
