D. C. The word 'yoni' comes from the root 'yu' to join or mix. A place where the Taijasa and Kārmaņa bodies mix with aggregates of the Pudgala and Skandhas suitable for Audārika and other bodies, is called a yoni So, in short, it is the place of origination.
Due to transmutation of cases, the Nominative is used for the Instrumental; so sankhya sankhyayā. The Clenetive in Jivānāni' is used for the Accusative or the Locative.
After the general statement is over, the particular statement declares that each of the four elements viz the Earth, the Water, the Light, and the Wind, have got seven hundred thousand (700000) yonis as under:
Yonis
