## Verse
There are closed yonis (sanvṛtayoni) for the one-sensed (ekendriya) and the saints, and open yonis (vivṛtayoni) for the multi-sensed (vikaleṇdriya) beings. The womb-born (garbhaja) have mixed yonis (sanvṛta-vivṛta mili hui). It is also stated in the Muladhara:
"The one-sensed, the hell-born, and the gods have closed yonis. The multi-sensed, that is, the two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed beings have open yonis. The womb-born have mixed yonis, that is, closed and open combined." (12/58, Paryā. Pravi.)
The Rajavatik and Mulachara texts do not mention the yoni of the five-sensed beings born from the womb (sammūrchana janmavale pancendriya jiva), but the latter half of verse 87 in the Go. Sa. Jivakanda states that the five-sensed beings born from the womb have open yonis.
In the case of beings born from the womb (upāpadajanama), there are both cold yonis (śītayoni) and hot yonis (uṣṇayoni). For example, in the hell-born beings, from the first earth (ratnaprabhā) to the three-fourths of the fifth earth (ghūmprabhā), there are hot yonis. In the remaining one-fourth of the fifth hell, and in the entire sixth and seventh hells, there are cold yonis. In the remaining womb-born (marbhaja) and the beings born from the womb (sammūrchana jiva), there are three types of yonis: cold, hot, and mixed. However, in the Mulachara (12/60), the hot yoni is mentioned for the beings with a fiery body (tejākāyika jiva), and in the Sanskrit commentary, the Acharya Shri Isunandi, the author of the Siddhantachakravarti, has stated that the beings with a non-fiery body (apākāyika) have only cold yonis.
In the case of beings born from the womb (upāpadajanama), the one-sensed beings born from the womb (ekendriyarūpa sammūrchana sanma) have closed yonis. For example, the womb (samputa śayyā) and the camel's mouth (uṣṭra mukhākāra upāpadasthan) remain closed by rule after the birth of the desired being (vivṛkṣita jiva) and before the birth of another being. In the case of the multi-sensed beings born from the womb (vikaleṇdriyarūpa sammūrchana janma), the yoni is open. In the case of the womb-born (garbhajanma), the yoni is a mixture of closed and open. This is because the semen (galitaśukra) from the male body is open, and the womb (śorīṇata) of the female is closed. The mixture of these two is the womb (garbha). Therefore, the womb-born have a mixed yoni (sanvṛta-vivṛta miśrayoni). The other two types, that is, closed or open yonis, do not exist. In the case of the five-sensed beings born from the womb (pancendriya sammūrchana janma), the yoni is open, similar to the multi-sensed beings. It is also stated:
"The one-sensed, the hell-born, and the gods have closed yonis. The multi-sensed, that is, the two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed beings have open yonis. The hell-born have hot yonis, and the gods have cold yonis. The remaining beings have hot yonis."
"The number of yonis is nine according to the common understanding (sāmaṇṇeṛana), and eighty-four lakh according to the detailed understanding (jogīyo). The number of yonis is eighty-four lakh according to the rules." (88)
