## Verse 168
**Idriyamargarpa/236**
The range of a **Chaturindriya** (four-sensed) being is 256 **dhanush** (bows), and that of an **Asanji Panchendriya** (non-conscious five-sensed) being is 512 **dhanush**. The range of the **pranendriya** (life sense) of a **Shrindriya** (one-sensed) being is 100 **dhanush**, that of a **Chaturindriya** being is 200 **dhanush**, and that of an **Asanji Panchendriya** being is 400 **dhanush**. The range of the **chakshuindriya** (eye sense) of a **Chaturindriya** being is 2654 **yojan** (leagues), and that of an **Asanji Panchendriya** being is 5608 **yojan**. The range of the **shrotrendriya** (ear sense) of an **Asanji Panchendriya** being is 8000 **dhanush**. These ranges should be understood through the **pudgalparinam yog** (karma theory).
**One-sensed** and other beings, with their respective superior powers, perceive objects located at a distance through their **sparshanadi indriyas** (sense organs of touch, etc.) according to the above mentioned ranges.
**Objection:** These sense organs cannot perceive objects located at such distances, because they only perceive objects that are present.
**Solution:** This objection is not valid, because it is established that sense organs can perceive objects without them being present. This is not contradictory to logic and scriptures.
**Objection:** What is the logic?
**Solution:** **One-sensed** beings, through their roots, can perceive objects located at a distance. For example, they extend their roots in the direction where gold or other objects are buried, and spread their veins and arteries in the area containing the object. The scriptures also consider **sparshanadi indriyas** (sense organs of touch, etc.) as **apraptagrahi** (non-present perceivers), because there are 336 types of **matijnana** (knowledge of mind) related to touch, etc.
**Chaturindriya** beings can see objects located 2654 **yojan** away with their eyes, there is no doubt about it. **Sparshanadi indriyas** (sense organs of touch, etc.) are **praptagrahi** (present perceivers), but **chakshuindriya** (eye sense) is not. Otherwise, it would be able to perceive **anjan** (collyrium) and other things present within itself. **Chakshuindriya** (eye sense) does not perceive objects by going near them, otherwise, the area of the eye would become blind. It is also not logical to assume that **jnana** (knowledge) in the form of the eye goes near the object, because this would make the soul ignorant. It is also not possible for the eye to go near the object sequentially, because this would lead to the perception of all objects in between. Therefore, **chakshuindriya** (eye sense) is **apraptagrahi** (non-present perceiver), not **praptagrahi** (present perceiver) like **sparshanadi indriyas** (sense organs of touch, etc.).
**Asanji Panchendriya** (non-conscious five-sensed) beings, devoid of knowledge of **palap** (foliage) etc., perceive objects located 5608 **yojan** away through their **chakshuindriya** (eye sense). Therefore, the range of the **chakshuindriya** (eye sense) of an **Asanji Panchendriya** (non-conscious five-sensed) being is 5608 **yojan**. (Commentary on **Moola. Paryapti Adhikar** verse 53).
The range of the **shrotrendriya** (ear sense) of an **Asanji Panchendriya** (non-conscious five-sensed) being is 8000 **dhanush**.
