1 **Gati Mārgṇā** - The movement from one existence to another is called Gati. Or, the specific action of the Jīva arising from the उदय of the Karma called Gati, i.e., the transformation into the form of a Naraka, Tiryañc, etc., is called Gati. There are four types of Gati - Narakagati, Tiryañcgati, Manuşyagati and Devagati. All beings in the universe reside in these four Gatis. Those who are liberated from the cycle of Samsara are called Siddhas and they reside in Siddhalaya, which is called the fifth Siddhagati. Thus, through Gati Mārgṇā, all beings are investigated or known.
2 **Indriya Mārgṇā** - Indriya refers to the specific power, Linga or sign that indicates the existence of the Ātma. Due to the specific क्षयोपशम of the Jñāna Avarana Karma, there are five types of Indriyas in Samsari Jīvas based on the difference in their ability to perceive their respective objects - touch, taste, smell, color and sound - namely, Sparśa Indriya, Rasa Indriya, Ghrana Indriya, Cakṣu Indriya and Śrotra Indriya. Due to the उदय of the Jāti Karma, those Jīvas who have only the Sparśa Indriya are called Ekendriya Jīvas, such as earth, water, fire, air and plant-bodied beings. Those who have two Indriyas - Sparśa and Rasa - are called Dvīndriya Jīvas, such as worms, earthworms, etc. Those who have three Indriyas - Sparśa, Rasa and Ghrana - are called Trīndriya Jīvas, such as insects, spiders, bedbugs, lice, etc. Those who have four Indriyas - Sparśa, Rasa, Ghrana and Cakṣu - are called Caturindriya Jīvas, such as bumblebees, flies, mosquitoes, etc. Those who have all five Indriyas are called Pañcendriya Jīvas, such as humans, gods, Narakas, cows, buffaloes, etc., and pigeons, peacocks, swans, etc. Among the Pañcendriya Jīvas, some Tiryañcgati Jīvas have a mind and some do not. Those who have a mind are called Saṁjñī and those who do not are called Asaṁjñī. Thus, all beings in the universe are collected or investigated through these five Indriyas. Those who are devoid of contact with the Indriyas are called Ateeindriya, such as Siddhas.
3 **Kāya Mārgṇā** - The body, which is a mass of Pudgala in the form of Audārika, etc., accumulated due to the Yogarūpa tendency of the Ātma, is called Kāya. Due to the उदय of the Tras and Sthāvara Karma, all living beings are divided into two parts - Traskāyika and Sthāvarakāyika. The five Ekendriya Jīvas, such as earth-bodied, etc., are called Sthāvarakāyika, and the Dvīndriya, Trīndriya, Caturindriya and Pañcendriya Jīvas are called Traskāyika. Those Jīvas who have become liberated by the क्षय of Karma are to be known as Akāyika Jīvas.
