Celestial and hellish beings have visual knowledge by birth and they have it till death, just as human beings have sensitive and scriptural knowledge. Celestial and hellish beings have sensitive and scriptural knowledge also
SUTRA 22 क्षयोपशम निमित्तः षडविकल्पःशेषारणा ॥२२॥ Kshayopashama nımıttah Shad vikalpah Sheshnam.
(The other kind of Visual or direct material knowledge is) of six kinds (and it) arises from the part destruction, part subsidence and part operation (of the Karmas which obscure Visual or direct material knowledge) (This is acquired by the others, i e, by human and sub-human beings, who are possessed of mind)
This is called Juita Guna-pratyaya or acquired by merit as distinguished from in-born Visual knowledge
Its 6 kınds are -
yuh Anugam Accompanying Visual knowledge That which goes with one to another place or even another incarnation
syar Ananugami Non-Accompanying Visual knowledge That which does not go with one, but is lost
a'r Varddhamana Increasing That which goes on increasing THE Hıyamana Decreasing That which goes on decreasing
safia Avasthita, Steadfast That which retains the extent which it had when it arose
walena Anavasthita Changeable That which increases sometimes and decreases on others
These 6 kınds are due to the greater or less purity and intensity of right belief, etc
Visual knowledge is also of 3 kınds
(1) drafo Desha Avadhi, Partial Visual knowledge This alone 15 Anavasthita, changeable
(2) hafa Parama Avadha High visual knowledge (3) Hastafu Sarva Avadh Full Visual knowledge.
These two extend upto Perfect knowledge They are never Ananugami non-accompaning-nor-Hiyamana, decreasing
