And the reception of the mind-substance and speech-substance, which are the objects of these yogas, also takes place through some kind of bodily-yoga.
"The solution to this is that mental yoga and verbal yoga are not separate from bodily yoga; but are special kinds of bodily yoga. The bodily yoga that helps in contemplation is called mental yoga at that time, and the bodily yoga that is helpful in speaking is called 'verbal yoga' at that time. In short, three divisions of bodily yoga have been made for the sake of practice.
(b) There is also a doubt that the bodily yoga that helps in breathing should be called 'breathing yoga' and there should be four yogas instead of three.

The solution to this is that the specific purpose of language and mind is seen in practice, but the purpose of breathing and body is not the same as that of mind and body, so only three yogas have been considered. For a special consideration of this subject, one should see the commentary 0356-364 and the Lokaprash-Sarg 3, Shloka 1354-1355.
**Nature of Mind-Substance, Speech-Substance and Body:**
(a) The pudgalas that are fit to become mind, which are called 'manovaggana' in the scriptures, when they become mind-like - capable of helping in thinking, they attain such a state, they are called 'mind'. There is no specific place for the mind-substance in the body and its fixed shape is not mentioned in the Svetambara scriptures. According to the Svetambara sect, the mind-substance should be understood as pervading the body and having the shape of the body. In the Digambara sect, its place is considered to be the "heart and its shape is considered to be like a lotus".
(b) A type of pudgala that becomes speech-like, which is called 'bhashavaggana', is called 'speech'.
(c) That which enables walking, eating, drinking, etc., which is the place of experiencing pleasure and pain, and which is made up of audarik, vaikriya, etc. vagganas, is called 'body'.
