**Jīvasamās of 14 types**
"Bādarahmae Indiy-Vitichouriṣiy As Siṇī Ya | Pajjatā Pajjatā Evam Te Chodasā Honti ||72||"
**Gāthārtha:** Bādar (gross), Sūkṣma (subtle), Dvīndriya (two-sensed), Trīndriya (three-sensed), Chaturindriya (four-sensed), Prasaṁjñī Pañcendriya (conscious five-sensed), and Pañcendriya (five-sensed) - these seven types, with their Pāryāpta (sufficient) and Apāryāpta (insufficient) distinctions, result in (7 x 2 = ) 14 Jīvasamās. ||72||
**Viśeṣārtha:** Ekaindriya (one-sensed) beings are of two types: Bādar (gross) and Sūkṣma (subtle). All five types of stationary beings (sthāvara) fall under Ekaindriya. Dvīndriya, Trīndriya, and Chaturindriya - these three are all Vikalatrai (three-fold suffering) beings. Pañcendriya beings are also of two types: Saṁjñī (conscious) and Prasaṁjñī (unconscious). These Pañcendriya beings are also Vikalatrai. All beings are Bādar, not Sūkṣma. Therefore, unlike Bādar and Sūkṣma, there are no two distinctions of Sūkṣma and Bādar for Dvīndriya, etc. Thus, there are two distinctions for Ekaindriya due to Bādar and Sūkṣma, two for Pañcendriya due to Saṁjñī and Asamjñī, and three for Vikalatrai. All these (2+2+3) seven distinctions are Pāryāpta and Apāryāpta. Therefore, multiplying seven by two, we get fourteen Jīvasamās. They are as follows:
1. Pāryāpta Bādar Ekaindriya Anantajīva, 2. Apāryāpta Bādar Ekaindriya Anantajīva, 3. Pāryāpta Sūkṣma Ekaindriya Anantajīva, 4. Apāryāpta Sūkṣma Ekaindriya Anantajīva, 5. Bādar Pāryāpta Dvīndriya Saṁsthātajīva, 6. Bādar Apāryāpta Dvīndriya Asaṁkhyātajīva, 7. Bādar Pāryāpta Trīndriya Asaṁkhyātajīva, 8. Bādar Apāryāpta Trīndriya Saṁkhyātajīva, 9. Bādar Pāryāpta Chaturindriya Asaṁkhyātajīva, 10. Bādar Apāryāpta Chaturindriya Asaṁkhyātajīva, 11. Saṁjñī Pāryāpta Pañcendriya Asaṁkhyātajīva, 12. Saṁjñī Apāryāpta Pañcendriya Asaṁkhyātajīva, 13. Asaṁjñī Pāryāpta Pañcendriya Prasaṁkhyātajīva, and 14. Asaṁjñī Apāryāpta Pañcendriya Asaṁkhyātajīva. Thus, in summary, these are the fourteen Jīvasamās.
**Nineteen and 57 Jīvasamās**
Bhū-Prau-U-Bāū Piñchacha Duggavi Gi Godathūlivara |

**Gāthā:** There are two types of Bhū-kāyika (earth-bodied), Āp (water)-kāyika, Teja-kāyika (fire-bodied), Vāyuṁ-kāyika (air-bodied), and Sādhāraṇa Vanaspati-kāyika (ordinary plant-bodied) - Nitya-nigoda (ever-stationary) and Chaturgati-nigoda (four-fold migratory). Each of these six types has two distinctions: Sthūla (gross) and Itara (subtle). Thus, there are twelve distinctions for each type of plant. Adding the two distinctions of Saṁpratiṣṭhita (established) and Apratiṣṭhita (not established), we get fourteen distinctions for stationary beings. Adding the five distinctions of Vikalatrai to this (14 + 5), we get sixteen distinctions. Multiplying each of these by three distinctions - Pāryāpta (sufficient) and two types of Apāryāpta (insufficient) (2 + 1) - we get (16 x 3) 57 Jīvasamās. ||73||
**Viśeṣārtha:** Bhū-kāyika means earth-bodied, Āp-kāyika means water-bodied, Teja-kāyika means fire-bodied.
