and similar creatures possess the sense of smell in addition to the senses of touch and taste. The bee and creatures of that class possess the sense of sight in addition to the senses of touch, taste and smell. Man and the beings similar to him possess the sense of hearing in addition to the former four.
The five-sensed jīva are categorized as those with mind (samjñi jīva), and those without mind (asamjñi jīva). Rest all jīva are without mind. The one-sensed jīva are categorized as gross (bādara), and subtle (sūkşma). All jīva are further categorized as having attained completion (paryāpta), and not having attained completion (aparyāpta).
That which causes the complete development of the organs and capacities is the name-karma of completion (paryāpta). It is of six kinds - taking in of the molecules to form the body (āhāra), development of the body (śarīra), development of the sense organs (indriya), development of the respiratory organs (ucchvāsa-nihśvāsa), development of the vocal organ (bhāṣā), and development of the brain (manah). That which prevents full development of these six kinds of completion is the name-karma of incompletion (aparyāpta).
Jiva-samāsa - fourteen kinds of jīva: (1-4) One-sensed: bādara paryāpta
bādara aparyāpta sūksma paryāpta
sūkşma aparyāpta (5-6) Two-sensed: paryāpta
aparyāpta (7-8) Three-sensed: paryāpta
aparyāpta (9-10) Four-sensed: paryāpta
aparyāpta (11-14) Five-sensed: samjñī paryāpta
samjñi aparyāpta asamjñī paryāpta
asamjñī aparyāpta The transmigrating souls (samsārī jīva), from the empirical point of view (vyavahāra naya), are of fourteen kinds based on the method of inquiry into their nature (margaņāsthāna), also of fourteen kinds based on their stage of spiritual development (guņasthāna). From the transcendental point of view (niscaya naya), however, all souls are intrinsically pure.
