## Karmagrantha Part 12, Appendix "Ch"
## "Bhavasumasa" Page 22, "Ekendriya Shabda"
Three uses of Ekendriya (single-sense) have been considered. Therefore, there is a doubt whether it is appropriate to consider the "mati" (mind) use in Ekendriya after the destruction of the "sparshendriya-mati-jnanaavaran" karma (karma that obscures the knowledge of the sense of touch, mind, and knowledge). However, how can the "shruta" (hearing) use be considered in them due to the absence of "mashaalabdhi" (ability to speak) and "shravanalabdhi" (ability to hear)? Because the scriptures consider only those with language and the ability to hear as having knowledge. For example:
"Bhataso - Yaldvino Jujjae M Yassa Haritahi || 9025 ||"
Only those with the ability to speak and hear can be "bhaavabhoot" (have the potential to become a soul). Others cannot. Because "shrutaan" refers to the knowledge that arises in those who desire to speak or hear words.
The solution is that just as the five "maavendriya-janya" (generated by the five senses) knowledge exists in trees and other living beings even in the absence of other "dravya" (external) senses, similarly, the existence of "bhaavashruta" knowledge in Ekendriya is scriptural even in the absence of the ability to speak and hear. For example:
"Jah Sumang Bhavitriya - Naan Vashviviavarohe Vi.
Tah Davyasuyaabhave Bhavasury Pashchivayinam || 103 ||"
Just as there is subtle knowledge generated by the "bhaavendriya" (inner sense) in the absence of "dravya" senses, similarly, there is a small amount of "bhaavashruta" knowledge in earth-bodied beings and others in the absence of external causes like language. It is true that Ekendriya does not have the same clear knowledge as others. The scriptures consider Ekendriya to have a desire for food, which is the reason for considering their knowledge to be unclear.
