**Description of the Path to Liberation for the Nine Categories of Substances**
**Hindi Ta. - Uttanika - Further, the distinctions among the two-sense beings are described.**
**General Meaning with Anvaya:** (**Sambhukka**) A small conch of a particular species, (**Maduvaha**) Mother-bearing (**Sanka**) Conch (**Sippi**) Shell (**Y**) and (**Apadga**) Footless (**Kimi**) Worms like earthworms, caterpillars, etc. (**Je**) Those who (**Rasan**) know taste or flavor and (**Phasan**) touch (**Jananti**) are (**Te**) those (**Jiwa**) beings (**Beindriya**) with two senses.
**Specific Meaning:** With absolute certainty, this being is distinct from the form of the two-sense being and is inseparable from perfect knowledge and perfect vision, i.e., it is pure and completely the body of existence. By the feeling of such a pure soul, one does not experience the enjoyment of the single characteristic, blissful, delicious taste, but rather, the beings who are engrossed in the enjoyment of the taste of objects, qualities, and flavors like touch and smell, etc., have formed a bond of karma called the name of the two-sense category. At the time of the arising of that karma, due to the benefit of the destruction and pacification of the karma called the covering of the sense of touch and the covering of knowledge, the karma in the form of the covering of the remaining senses arises, and when the karma in the form of the covering of the mind arises, these beings are two-sense beings without a mind. ||114||
**Indication of the Types of Three-Sense Beings:** Lice, bees, beetles, ants, scorpions, etc., insects. They know taste, touch, and smell; these are the three-sense beings. ||115||
**Anvaya:** (**Yuka, Kumbhi, Matkun, Pipilika**) Lice, bees, beetles, ants, and (**Vrischikaadaya**) scorpions, etc. (**Kita**) creatures (**Rasan, Sparsh, Gandhan**) know taste, touch, and smell (**Jananti**) are (**Triindriya**) three-sense beings.
**Commentary:** This is an indication of the types of three-sense beings.
Due to the destruction and pacification of the covering of the sense of touch, the sense of taste, and the sense of smell, and the arising of the covering of the remaining senses, and the arising of their covering, these (lice, etc.) beings are three-sense beings without a mind, who know touch, taste, and smell. ||115||| SR No. | 090326 |
