Verse 165: The tendency to make decisions about doubt and wrong knowledge is called vritti. They are engrossed in their own vritti, therefore they are indriyas.
Doubt: When the indriyas do not engage in their objects, then in the state of non-engagement, will they not be able to obtain the designation of indriya?
Solution: It is not correct to say so, because due to the force of rudhi, even in such a state of non-engagement, there is indriya behavior in them. . . .
Or, those who are engrossed in their own objects are indriyas. "Aryate" means the object that is determined. Those who engage in their own object-like object are indriyas. Or, they are called indriyas because they have independent dominion over their own independent objects.
The distinction of indriyas and their nature was explained in detail by Madin Yadanorupa.
Bhavidiyam tu Davam, Dehudayajayehachinha tu ||16|| Verse Meaning: The purity arising from the destruction and pacification of the Matijnanaavaran karma is the Bhavaindriya, and the marks arising in the body from the body-karma-udaya are the Dravyendriyas. ||165||
Special Meaning: There are two types of indriyas - Bhavaindriya and Dravyendriya. From the destruction and pacification of Matijnanaavaran and Viryantaarayakarma, purity arises in the soul, which is the ability to grasp the object. This ability to grasp the object is called labdhi. Labdhi is also called yogyata. The use of this purity is the activity of grasping the object, which is the knowledge-like object. Labdhi and use are both Bhavaindriyas. The synonym of Chaitanya is Bhava, and the characteristic or mark of that Chaitanya is Bhavaindriya. Due to the body-karma-udaya along with the jati-karma-udaya, there are Dravyendriyas in the body, which are the marks of the Bhavaindriyas like touch, etc. The Dravyendriya is the synonym of the pudgaladravya.
Doubt: The word pudgal is not used in Dravyendriya, so why is Dravyendriya called the synonym of pudgaladravya?
Solution: From one part of the name, the whole name is taken, therefore, by saying only "dravya" as one part of the pudgaladravya, the pudgaladravya is taken.
There are two types of Bhavaindriya - labdhi and use. Obtaining is called labdhi. The special destruction and pacification of the jnanaavaran karma, which is the cause of the cessation of the indriya, is called labdhi. Or, the one whose
