Special Meaning - In Gatha 567 and 568 and their special meanings, the motion etc. of Dharma Dravya, Adharma Dravya, Akash Dravya and Kal Dravya has been explained in detail.
To behave in the form of master and servant, and teacher and disciple, etc. is Parsparopagraha. The master benefits the servant by giving wealth etc., and the servant benefits the master by speaking of his benefit and prohibiting his harm. The teacher benefits the disciples by giving teachings that are beneficial in both worlds, and by engaging them in action according to those teachings. The disciples also benefit the teacher by behaving in a way that is conducive to the teacher. Or, the disciple benefits the teacher by serving him, by bowing at his feet, etc. In the same way, father-son, husband-wife, friend-friend benefit each other.
Pudgala also benefits the Jiva. It has also been said - 'Sharor-vad, Manah - Pranapanah Pudgalanam ||5 / 163
Jivass Bahu-Payaram Ubadharam Kurabi Puggalam Davvam.
Deham Cha Inviyani Ya Varani Ussas - Nissasan || 208 ||
[Swamikartikeyanupreksha]
- Body, speech, mind and Pranapan (breathing) are the benefits of Pudgalas. Pudgal Dravya benefits the Jiva in many ways, it creates the body, it creates the senses, it creates speech and it creates breathing.
In the special meaning of Gatha 564-565, it has been explained in the statement of the 23 Varganas of Pudgala that from the Prahar Varganas, the Audarik, Vaikriyik and Aharak bodies are created. From the Tejas Vargana, the Tejas body is created, from the Bhasha Vargana, speech is created, from the Manovangana, mind is created, and from the Karman Varganas, eight types of karma or the Karman body is created. These five Varganas are the Grahya Varganas, and the rest are the A-grahya Varganas, because they are not fit to be grasped by the Jiva.
The class of Pudgala Skandhas that are grasped to create the three bodies is the Ahar Chana. That is, the Audarik body, the Vaikriyik body and the Aharak body, the Dravyas that are grasped to transform into the Audarik, Vaikriyik and Aharak bodies, the Dravyas are called the Ahar Dravya Vargana. Within the Ahar body Vargana, some Varganas are fit for the Audarik body, some Varganas are fit for the Vaikriyik body, and some Varganas are fit for the Aharak body. Thus, the Ahar Vargana is of three types.
