कर्मग्रन्थ भाग चार
इन्द्रिय और कायमार्गणा का अल्प-बहुत्व:
पणचतिदएगिदि. थोवा तिन्नि अहिया अणंत गुणा । तस थोष असंखग्गो, भूजलनिल अहिय वर्ण णंता ॥३८॥ पञ्चचतुस्त्रिद्वयकान्द्रयाः, तांकास्मयोऽधका गुणाः । प्रसाःस्तोका असंख्या, अग्नयो भूजलानिला अधिना बना अनन्ता:।।३७ ।
अर्थ-पञ्चेनिमय जीव सबसे थोडे हैं । पञ्चेन्द्रियों से चतुरिन्द्रिय, पतुरिन्द्रयों से श्रीन्द्रिय और श्रीन्द्रियों से द्वीन्द्रिय जीव विशेषाधिक हैं । द्वीन्द्रियों से एकेन्द्रिय जोब अमन्तगुण हैं। .
सकायिक जीव अन्य सच काय के जीवों से शोड़े हैं । इनसे अग्मिकायिक जीव असनयात गुण हैं । अग्निकायिकों से पृथिवीकायिक, पृथिवीकायिकों से जलकायिक और जालकायकों से वायुकायिक विशेषाधिक हैं । धापुकायिकों से बनस्पतिकायिक अनन्तगण हैं ।।३।।
भावार्थ-असहपात कोटाकोटी योजन-प्रमाण सूचि-श्रेणी के जितने प्रदेश हैं, घनीकृत लोक को उतनी सूचि-णि घों के प्रबेशों के बराबर दोन्द्रिय जीव आगम में कहे गये हैं। श्रीन्द्रिय, चतुरिप्रिय और पञ्चेन्द्रिय तिर्यञ्च द्वीन्दिय के बराबर हो कहे गये हैं ।
१--यह अल्प-बहुल्व प्रज्ञापना में पृ. १२० --१३ तक है । गोम्मटसार की इन्द्रियमाणा में द्वीन्द्रिय स पश्चेन्द्रिय पर्यन्त का विशेषाधिकत्व यहाँ के समान वर्णित है ।
--जीवन गा० १५३--७८ । कायमार्गणा में तेजःकायिकआदि का भी विदोषाधिकत्व यहाँ के समान है ।
__ -- जीव गा० २०३ से आगे । २--एक संस्या अन्य संख्या से बड़ी होकार भी जब तक दूनी न हो; सब तक वह उसे 'विशेष्यधिक' कही जाती है । यथा ४ या की संस्था ३ से विशेषाधिक है, पर ६ की संख्या ३ से दूनी है, विशेषाधिक नहीं।

## Chapter Four: The Karma Granth

**The Fewness and Manyness of Indriyas and Kayamarganas:**

**Verse 38:** There are countless qualities in the three (types of beings). Just as there are countless colors in the earth, water, and air, so too are there countless qualities in the five, four, three, two, and one indriyas.

**Verse 37:** The five-indriya beings are the fewest. The four-indriya beings are more numerous than the five-indriya beings, the three-indriya beings are more numerous than the four-indriya beings, and the two-indriya beings are more numerous than the three-indriya beings. The one-indriya beings are countless in number.

**Meaning:** The five-indriya beings are the fewest. The four-indriya beings are more numerous than the five-indriya beings, the three-indriya beings are more numerous than the four-indriya beings, and the two-indriya beings are more numerous than the three-indriya beings. The one-indriya beings are countless in number.

The sakayika beings are fewer than the other sakayika beings. The agnikayika beings are countless in number compared to the sakayika beings. The prithvikaayika beings are more numerous than the agnikayika beings, the jalakayika beings are more numerous than the prithvikaayika beings, and the vayukayika beings are more numerous than the jalakayika beings. The vanaspatikayika beings are countless in number compared to the dhapukaayika beings.

**Meaning:** The two-indriya beings are said to be as numerous as the number of regions in the countless kotis of yojanas, which is the measure of the length of a suchi (needle). The three-indriya, four-indriya, and five-indriya beings are said to be equal in number to the two-indriya beings.

**Notes:**

1. This explanation of the fewness and manyness is found on pages 120-123. The Gommatasar's explanation of the indriyas is similar to this one, stating that the two-indriya beings are more numerous than the five-indriya beings.
2. The number of one type of being is considered "visheshyadhik" (more numerous) than another type of being as long as it is not double the number of the other type. For example, the number 4 is considered "visheshyadhik" than the number 3, but the number 6 is not considered "visheshyadhik" than the number 3 because it is double the number 3.
