The name **Sammurchhana** is given to the body formation of a living being arising from the aggregation of matter from all sides, and living beings born from **Sammurchhana** are called **Sammurchhana** beings.
**Question:** What are **Garbhaja** beings?
**Answer:** The process of a living being transforming the **raja** and **virya** (sperm) into its body form is called **Garbha** (womb). Beings born from this **Garbha** are called **Garbhaja**. In other words, beings born from the mother's womb are **Garbhaja**.
**Sammurchhana** beings are of 66 types, divided into 23 categories of **Tiryancha** (non-human beings). These 23 categories are as follows:
* **Sukṣma Dhabada** (minute) **Pṛthvīkāyika** (earth-bodied) - 2 types
* **Sukṣma Bada** (minute) **Jalakāyika** (water-bodied) - 2 types
* **Sukṣma Bada** (minute) **Agnikāyika** (fire-bodied) - 2 types
* **Sukṣma Bada** (minute) **Vāyukāyika** (air-bodied) - 2 types
* **Sukṣma Bada** (minute) **Nitya-Nigoda-Sādhāraṇa-Vanaspatikāyika** (everlasting-cluster-common-plant-bodied) - 2 types
* **Sukṣma Bada** (minute) **Chatur-Gati-Nigoda-Sādhāraṇa-Vanaspatikāyika** (four-motion-cluster-common-plant-bodied) - 2 types
* **Pratiṣṭhita** (established) **Pratyek** (each) **Vanaspati** (plant) **Kāmin** (desiring) **Bada** (cluster) - 1 type
* **Apratiṣṭhita** (not established) **Pratyek** (each) **Vanaspati** (plant) **Bada** (cluster) - 1 type
Thus, there are 14 types of **Ekendriya** (one-sense) **sthāvara** (stationary) beings.
* **Shankha-Sīpa** (conch-shell) etc. are **Dwīndriya** (two-sense) beings.
* **Kandha-Chiṭṭī** (ant) etc. are **Trīndriya** (three-sense) beings.
* **Ḍāṁs-Macchhar** (mosquito) etc. are **Chaturindriya** (four-sense) beings.
These 3 are **Vikalendriya** (imperfect-sense) **Tiryancha**.
* **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Jalachara** (aquatic) **Sañjñī** (conscious) and **Asañjñī** (unconscious) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha** - 2 types
* **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Nabhachara** (aerial) **Sañjñī** (conscious) and **Asañjñī** (unconscious) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha** - 2 types
* **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Sthalachara** (terrestrial) **Sañjñī** (conscious) and **Asañjñī** (unconscious) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha** - 2 types
Thus, there are 6 types of **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha**.
Adding together the 14 **Ekendriya** (one-sense), 3 **Vikalendriya** (imperfect-sense), and 6 **Panchendriya** (five-sense) types, there are a total of (14+3+6=23) **Sammurchhana** **Tiryancha**.
Each of these 23 categories is further divided into three types: **Paryāpta** (sufficient), **Nitya-Paryāpta** (everlasting-sufficient), and **Labdhya-Paryāpta** (obtainable-sufficient). Therefore, multiplying 23 by 3 (23 x 3 = 66), there are 66 **Jīvasamāsa** (living being aggregates) of **Sammurchhana** **Tiryancha**.
Adding the 16 types of **Garbhaja** **Tiryancha** to this, there are a total of 85 **Jīvasamāsa** (living being aggregates) related to **Tiryancha**.
The 16 types of **Garbhaja** **Tiryancha** are as follows:
* **Machchhī** (fish) etc. **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Garbhaja** (womb-born) **Jalachara** (aquatic) **Sañjñī** (conscious) and **Asañjñī** (unconscious) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha** - 2 types
* **Hiran** (deer) etc. **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Garbhaja** (womb-born) **Sthalachara** (terrestrial) **Sañjñī** (conscious) and **Asañjñī** (unconscious) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha** - 2 types
* **Pakṣī** (bird) etc. **Karmabhūmija** (earth-born) **Garbhaja** (womb-born) **Nabhachara** (aerial) **Sañjñī** (conscious) and **Asañjñī** (unconscious) **Panchendriya** (five-sense) **Tiryancha** - 2 types
* **Bhoga-Bhūmija** (pleasure-earth-born) **Sthalachara** (terrestrial) **Garbhaja** (womb-born) are only **Sañjñī** (conscious), therefore there is only 1 type.
* **Bhoga-Bhūmija** (pleasure-earth-born) **Nabhachara** (aerial) **Garbhaja** (womb-born) are also only **Sañjñī** (conscious), therefore there is only 1 type.
