(3) - Uses in the realms of living beings.
All uses are found in the beings with complete five senses (Saṃśipāñcendriya). Because the human beings born from the womb (Garbhaja-manushya), in whom all types of uses are possible, are Saṃśipāñcendriya. There are twelve uses, of which five are knowledge (Jnana) and three are ignorance (Ajñana), these eight are concrete (Vishesharupa), and four are abstract (Samanyarupa). Of these, only knowledge and only abstract uses are considered to be present for a moment (Sthiti Samaya), and the remaining ten concrete uses are considered to be present for a very short time (Antamuhurta).
"Mamatām tatra jākara, dvaidhānām api bhūmahām. Staḥ śarīrāṇy aniyataḥ-saṃsthānānīti tadvidaḥ ||2541||"
-Lo. Pra., Sa. 5. "Masurambudhidisui,-kalāvadhayasaṣṇiho have deho. Puḍhavī ādi baugaha, tarutasakāya aṇeyaviha. ||200||"
-Mīvakāṇḍa. 1- This thought is found in Pañcaśaṁ Dvā. 1, Gā. 8.
2- Regarding the Antamuhurta-duration of concrete uses, the following statements are found in the Tattvārtha-ṭīkā: "Upayogasthitikālo'ntamahattamapariṇāma; prakarshān dravati."
-A. 2, Sū. 8's ṭīkā. "Upayogato'ntamuharsa meva jaghanyotkṛṣṭābhyām ||"
-A. 2, Muh's ṭīkā. "Upayogastu taḥ yāpyantamuhartamavasthānam."
M. 2, Sū. 6's ṭīkā. This is also mentioned in Gommatasāra:
"Madisudaohimanehi ya, sagasagavisaye visheshviṇṇāṇam. Antomuhattan kālo, uvajogo so du sādhārī ||673||"
