## Gatha 234
There are various types of **vigurva** (actions). That which has **vigurva** as its purpose is **vaigursik**. Or, **vikriya** is the name for various types of actions and many **anima** (subtle matter) etc. **vikara** (modifications). That which has **vikriya** as its purpose is **vaikriyik**. For that **vaikriyik** body, the effort that arises from the power generated by the intake of **vairiyik** food categories, which are capable of transforming into that body form, and which is the cause of **parispand** (pulsation) in the **jivapradesha** (living regions), is **vaikriyik kayayog** (yoga of the **vaikriyik** body). As long as the **vaikriyik** body is not fully attained, the effort that arises from the **karma** and **vaikriyik** categories, which is the cause of **parispand** in the **jivapradesha**, is **vaikriyik mishra kayayog** (mixed yoga of the **vaikriyik** body). In the very short time of **antmuhurt** (the last moment), **parispand** does not occur in the **atmapradesha** (soul regions) merely due to the **vaikriyik** categories, but only in conjunction with the **karman** body, and due to the **vaikriyik** body-related layers. Therefore, this is **mishrayog** (mixed yoga).
Where is the possibility of **vaikriyik kayayog**? **Badar**, **tejokayik**, **vayukayik**, and **panchendriya** (five senses) **paryapt** (sufficient) **jiv** (living beings) with **praudarik** (substantial) bodies perform **vikriya**. Among them, those whose bodies possess this ability perform **vikriya**.
**Special Meaning:** **Dev** (gods) and **narak** (hell beings) have **vaikriyik kayayog** and **vaikriyik mishra kayayog**.
**Doubt:** Why do **tiryanch** (animals) and **manushya** (humans) not have these two yogas?
**Solution:** No, because **tiryanch** and **manushya** paths are opposed to the arising of **vaikriyik** body **namakarma** (karma of the name) along with the arising of **karma**. That is, **tiryanch** and **manushya** paths do not have the arising of **vaikriyik** body **namakarma**. This is their nature. Therefore, **tiryanch** and **manushya** do not have **vaikriyik kayayog** and **vaikriyik mishra kayayog**.
**Doubt:** **Tiryach** and **manushya** are also heard to have **vaikriyik** bodies. How is that possible?
**Solution:** No, because **praudarik** bodies are of two types: **vikriyatmak** (active) and **pratikriyatmak** (reactive). The **vikriyatmak** **praudarik** body is said to be **vairiyik** in **manushya** and **tiryanch**, but it is not considered a **vaikriyik** body because it lacks various qualities and **ridhi** (powers).
Those who have four bodies are **char sharira** (four-bodied) living beings.
**Doubt:** What are those four bodies?
