## 25/Go. Sa, Jivakanda
## Verse 153
**Due to the arising of the Badar karma, the bodies of the Prithvikayika and other Jivas become Badar and Sukshma. The body with the Ghat (gross) characteristics is Badar (gross) and the body with the Aghat (subtle) characteristics is Sukshma.**
**Special Meaning:** Stationary Jivas are of two types - Badar and Sukshma. Those whose Jiva-vipaki Badar-namakarma arises are Badar Jivas. Those whose Sukshma Jiva-vipaki-namakarma arises are Sukshma Jivas. The body of Badar Jivas is also Badar and the body of Sukshma Jivas is also Sukshma.
**Doubt:** The word Badar is a synonym for gross, and the nature of grossness is not fixed. Therefore, it is not known which Jivas are gross. If it is said that those who are perceivable by the senses are gross, then it does not work, because according to this, those gross Jivas who are not perceivable by the eye at the time of perception would become invisible. Those who are not perceivable by the eye would be considered Badar, and there would be no difference between Sukshma and Badar.
**Solution:** This doubt arises from ignorance of the nature of the Paga. The word Badar is not a synonym for gross, but it refers to the Badar-namakarma. Therefore, the Jiva also becomes Badar due to the arising of the Badar-namakarma.
**Doubt:** The karma that produces grossness in the body is called Badar, and the karma that produces subtlety is called Sukshma. However, that which is not perceivable by the moving sense is a Sukshma body, and that which is perceivable by it is a Badar body. Therefore, the Jivas with the arising of Sukshma and Badar karma, and with Sukshma and Badar bodies, are called Sukshma and Badar respectively. This proves that those who are perceivable by the eye are Badar, and those who are not perceivable by the eye are Sukshma. If this characteristic is not accepted, then there will be no difference between Sukshma and Badar.
**Solution:** This is not the case, because there is no contradiction in the statement that something can be gross but not perceivable by the eye.
**Doubt:** The body that is countless times larger than the Sukshma body is called Badar, and the Jivas with that body are called Badar by convention. Or, the body that is countless times smaller than the Badar body is called Sukshma, and the Jivas with that Sukshma body are called Sukshma by convention.
