Nigodas are of two kinds, viz. Nigodakā and Nigodajiva (fine and gross nigodas). They are the collections of infinite number of beings, making minute group, having common breathing-in and out (respiration), sensefeeling. They, longing for development, continue evolution of life through the successive Jivaparyayas (modes of beings of soul) and they provide the supply of beings in the place of those who have attained liberation. Thus the universe does not become and will not become empty of living beings (Bhagavati, 12. 2. 443).
