**450**
The **Riju-mati** and **Tri-pula-mati** **Manas-paryaya** knowledge, perceived by the **Jiva**, knows the inferior, medium, and superior forms (of the worldly **Jiva** **Pudgala**) according to the limits of **Dravya**, **Kshetra**, **Kala**, and **Bhaava**.
**Explanation:** This knowledge arises from the destruction and pacification of the **Manas-paryaya** **Jnana-avarana** karma. In the state of destruction and pacification, there is the rise of **Desha-ghati** competitors. Due to the section of **Desha-ghati** competitors, the **Riju-mati** **Manas-paryaya** knowledge knows the **Pudgala** in the form of **Riju-mati** **Manas-paryaya** and **Vilapati-naji** **Chintita** with the limits of **Dravya**, **Kshetra**, **Kala**, and **Bhaava**. As much as there is destruction and pacification, accordingly, it knows the gross or subtle **Dravya**, the nearby or distant meaning, the **Dravya** within the limits of **Kala**, and the less and more **Bhaava**.
**Manas-paryaya** knowledge, or **Shruta** knowledge, knows the differences of **Manas**, **Vachan**, and **Kaya**, and then knows the meaning situated there by direct perception. The subject of **Manas-paryaya** knowledge is of four types due to the difference of **Dravya**, **Kshetra**, **Kala**, and **Bhaava**.
**Doubt:** Since the **Jiva** is material, how can it be known by **Manas-paryaya** knowledge, which is below **Avadhi** knowledge, which knows material meaning?
**Solution:** No, because the worldly **Jiva** is bound by the eight karmas from the beginning of time, therefore it cannot be immaterial.
"**Rupi-nah Pudgalah**" - This sutra proves that **Pudgala** **Dravya** is material. Therefore, **Manas-paryaya** knowledge knows both the worldly **Jiva** and **Pudgala**, both of which are material **Dravya**. The subject of **Manas-paryaya** knowledge is of four types due to the difference of **Dravya**, **Kshetra**, **Kala**, and **Bhaava**. Among them, each is inferior, superior, and non-inferior, non-superior (medium or other) in terms of **Pramana**.
The phrase "**Jiva Lakkhi-ya**" in the gatha states that the subject of **Manas-paryaya** knowledge can only be the material **Dravya** that is thought by the **Jiva**.
**451**
The inferior and superior **Dravya** of **Riju-mati** **Manas-paryaya** knowledge:
The superior **Dravya** is the **Dravya** that is situated in the body, is old, and is bound by time. The inferior **Dravya** is the **Dravya** that is new, is young, and is not bound by time.
