Karma Granth Part Four
The Nature of Paryapti: Paryapti is the power by which a living being takes in the necessary pudgals, such as food, breath, etc., and transforms the taken pudgals into food, etc. Such power becomes the upacshma of pudgals in the living being. That is, just as there is a kind of power in the parts inside the stomach, by which the eaten food is transformed into different forms, in the same way, such power is formed from the pudgals taken by the living being born in the place of birth, which transforms the food, etc., into the forms of khal, rasa, etc. That power is Paryapti. Some of the janak pudgals are taken by the living being born in the place of birth at the very first time, and some are taken later on at every moment, becoming like the previously taken pudgals due to their association.
There are six types of Paryapti according to the division of the body: (1) Ahar, (2) Sharira Paryapti, (3) Indriya Paryapti, (4) Dvama-Malam-S Paryapti, (5) Bhasha Paryapti, and (6) Manah Paryapti. Their explanation should be seen in the meaning of the 46th verse of the Karma Granth, from page 67 onwards.
Out of these six Paryaptis, the first four Paryaptis are possessed by the Ekendriya only. The Dwindriya, Triindriya, Chaturindriya, and Asagni-Panchendriya living beings are the possessors of the remaining five Paryaptis except Manah Paryapti. The Sagni-Panchendriya living beings are the possessors of all six Paryaptis. This subject is in the verse, Shri Jinamatragani Kshamasraman-Kuta Brihatsagrahana:
"Ahar Saridiya-Pajatti Anapana Bhasamanu.
Prasari Pancha Chapi Ya, Egivigivigalasanneenam. || 346 ||" This verse is recorded at number 118 in Gommatasar-Jivakanda. To know the special nature of the present subject, these places are worth seeing:
