Should the body, which has a samvaya relationship with the Jiva-pradeshas, also travel through the Jiva-pradeshas when the Jiva travels through the Shank-karma skandhas and all the Jiva-pradeshas?
**Namedev says:** No, because the body does not have a samvaya relationship with the Jiva-pradeshas when the Jiva is in the state of traveling through the Jiva-pradeshas.
**Doubt:** If the body does not have a samvaya relationship with the Jiva-pradeshas during travel, will it experience death?
**Solution:** No, the destruction of the Ayu-karma is considered the cause of death.
**Doubt:** Then how does the samvaya relationship between the Jiva-pradeshas and the body re-establish?
**Solution:** There is no obstacle in this, because it is seen that the Jiva-pradeshas, which have concluded their various states, re-establish a samvaya relationship with the body. And there is no contradiction in the relationship of two material substances. Or, this all happens due to the peculiarity of the function of the karma that is the cause of the Jiva-pradeshas and the body's formation. The karma, which has many types of functions experienced, is found to be powerful.
**Doubt:** Why is it not accepted that the Jiva-pradeshas do not travel according to the Dravya-indriya evidence?
**Solution:** No, if the Dravya-indriya evidence is not accepted for the travel of the Jiva-pradeshas, then the Jivas, traveling at extremely fast speeds, would not be able to know about the rotating earth, etc. Therefore, while traveling through the Atma-pradeshas, the Dravya-indriya evidence should also be accepted for the travel of the Atma-pradeshas.
**Doubt:** Use is the fruit of the senses, because it originates from the senses. Therefore, it is not appropriate to give the name "indriya" to use?
**Solution:** No, because the dharma that resides in the cause has its continuation in the effect. In the world, the effect is seen to imitate the cause. Just as the knowledge that arises from the shape of the pot is called the pot, similarly, the use that arises from the senses is also called "indriya."
**Indriya-based Differences in Jivas**
**|| 166 ||**
Those who have the senses of taste, smell, touch, sound, and sight are called "Indriya-upachaya Jivas." These Jivas are different in their senses, but the enjoyment of the senses is the same for all Jivas.
**|| 167 ||**
There are also Jivas who have only the senses of touch, taste, and smell. These Jivas are called "Kam-uddiya Jivas."
