Page 10 Line 16 "Sanjna"
The meaning of Sanjna is Ayog (mental activity - special). These have two divisions: (a) Knowledge and (b) Experience.
(a) Mati, Shruta, etc. five types of knowledge are 'Jnanasanjna'. (b) Anubhavasanjna (1) Ahar, (2) Bhay, (3) Maithun, (4) Parigraha (5) Krodha (6) Man, (7) Maya (8) Lobha, (9) Ogha, (10) Lok (11) Moh.

To explain this development, the scriptures have divided it into several parts.
(1) In the first division, the very minimal development of knowledge is intended. This development is so minimal that beings with this development are like unconscious, without any activity. This very subtle consciousness is called 'Ogha-Sakha'. One-sense beings have only Ogha-Sakha.
(2) In the second division, the amount of development is intended such that some long-past - not very long-past - is remembered and there is a tendency towards desirable objects and aversion from undesirable objects. This tendency-aversion-causing knowledge is called 'Hetuvaadopaadeshiki Sanjna'. Two-sense, three-sense, four-sense and fully developed five-sense beings have Hetuvaadopaadeshiki Sanjna.
(3) In the third division, the development is intended such that long-past
