## Explanation of Jiva-sthana and other topics | (1) The subtle types (differences) of Jivas, such as Bahir etc., are called 'Jiva-sthana'. The 'Jiva' is that which holds the Dravya and Bhava Pranas. The five senses, three Valas, breathing and lifespan, these ten are Prathama-Pranas, because they are large and Karma-abhyas. Knowledge, perception etc. are Paryayas, which are the functions of the Jiva's organs, these are Bhava-Pranas. This explanation of the Jiva is with respect to the Samsari state, because the Jiva-sthana includes only Samsari Jivas. Therefore, it does not apply to liberated Jivas.
