## Part Four
Due to the closeness and the first being the Gunasthan, they do not have any other general uses except for Achakṣudarśana and Adhakṣuvaṁśa, and no other special uses except for Mati-Ahāna and Śruta-Ajñāna.
In the ten types of beings, namely Sūkṣma-Ekendriya, etc., three uses have been mentioned. However, according to the Karmagranthik view, this is not the case according to the Saiddhantic view.
1. See, Pariśiṣṭa 6.
2. The explanation is as follows: The Karmagranthik scholars consider the first and second Gunasthan in the five types of inadequate beings, namely Bādar-Ekendriya, Dwīndriya, Trīndriya, Caturindriya, and Asamjñi-Pañcendriya. See, further Ga. 5th. However, they consider Mati, etc., at the time of the second Gunasthan as ignorance, not knowledge. See, further Ga. 21st. Therefore, according to their view, in the five types of inadequate beings, namely Bādar-Ekendriya, etc., where two Gunasthan are possible, only three uses are considered: Achakṣudarśana, Mati-Ajñāna, and Śruta-Ajñāna. This is similar to the five beings, namely Paryaapta-Aparyaapta-Sakṣama-Ekendriya, Paryaapta-Bādar-Ekendriya, Paryaapta-Dwīndriya, and Paryaapta-Trīndriya, which have the first Gunasthan.
However, the Saiddhantic scholars have a different opinion. They say that "in any type of Ekendriya, whether it is Paryaapta or Aparyaapta, Sūkṣma or Bādar, there is no other Gunasthan except the first. See, Ga. 46th. But in the four inadequate beings, namely Dwīndriya, Trīndriya, Caturindriya, and Asamjñi-Pañcendriya, there are two Gunasthan, the first and the second." At the same time, the Saiddhantic scholars consider Mati, etc., at the time of the second Gunasthan as knowledge, not ignorance. See, Ga. 46th. Therefore, according to their view, in the said twelve inadequate beings, namely Dwīndriya, etc., there are five uses: Achakṣudarśana, Mati-Ajñāna, Mati-Jñāna, and Śruta-Jñāna. And in the ten beings, namely Sūkṣma-Ekendriya, etc., except for the four beings, namely Dwīndriya, etc., there are three uses in the remaining six beings: Achakṣudarśana, Mati-Ajñāna, and Śruta-Ajñāna.
