D. C. According to the Jaina Scriptur, Vanaspati Kayikā (Vegetable Beings) are divided into two types viz, Sadharara (General) and 2) Pratyéka or Individuai.
The principal characteristics of the Sādharaņa or General type of vegetable beings are explained in the Prajnāpanā (Panna_vanā) Sutra as follows:-Going asunder together, taking the form together, taking food together, inhaling and exhaling air together, the possession of one, being the common possessiou of all, and of many together, being the possession of one; common food, common holding and the common Soul- These are the characteristics of the Sadhāraṇa or General type of Jivas,
The Sādhāraṇa or General Type is again sub-divided into (1) Sikşma (In-corporeal) and (2) Bādara or Corporeal.
The Süksına or Incorporeal type of Sadharaņa Vanaspati Kāyika Jivas is explained in Samgrahiņi Prakarana as follows:“There are innumerable spheres (golāh); cach sphere possesses innumerable nigodas (i-e Sädhäraņa types of Jivas) and in each nigoda there are ananta (infinite) Jivas.
According to the tradition of the Jaina Āgamas, the subdivisions mentioned above are respectively known as (1) Samvy
