## Karmagrantha Part Four
[1] - The Living Beings in the Marganas.
[From five verses] Ahayara Bheya, Saranargyavibhagmahasuohiduge.
Sammasatige Pamha, Sukkasannisu Sanni Durga. ||14|| Ahareteri Bhedassuranaraka Vibhangamatishrutvadhidhike. Samyaktvatrike Paklasanjnighu Sanjidwikam. ||14||
**Meaning:** The path of Ahar Karma has two categories: Aharak and Anaharak. In the paths of Vevati and Narakati, there are two types of knowledge: Vibhangajnan, Matijnan, Shrutajnan, Avadhijnan, and Avadhivashen. There are also three types of Samyaktva (Oopashambhik, Shayak, and Kshayopaashambhik), and two Leshyas (Padma and Shulka and Sanshiv). In these thirteen Marganas, there are two types of Sanjho: Apariyapt Sanjho and Pariyapt Sanjho. These are the living beings in these paths. ||14||
(14) The nature of the differences in the Ahar Karma Margana: - Meaning - 1) The living being who takes in any kind of external substance, such as Oja, Lom, and Keval, is called 'Aharak'.
(2) The living being who does not take in any kind of food from the above three types of food is called 'Anaharak'.
Any living being present in the paths of Vagati and Narakati is not Asanjo. Whether it is Apariyapt or Pariyapt, all are Sanjo. This is why these two paths are considered to be the living beings.
The ability to obtain Vimnajnan is not present in any Bhansanji. Even in them, Apariyapt-Pariyapt Sanjho are considered to be the living beings.
1- This topic is discussed in Panchasangrah Gatha 22 to 27. 2- Although Panchasangrah Dwaar Gatha 27th mentions that in Vibhangashan, Sanji - Pariyapt is the only living being,
