(5) Avagadh (occupied space)-Each sense organ occupies infinite spacepoints. (6) Alpabahutva (comparative dimensions)-Chakshurindriya occupies minimum space, each following sense organ in the aforesaid order occupies innumerable times more space than the preceding sense organ. The same holds good for composition in space-point units. (7-8) Sprisht and Pravisht (touched and entered; this means contact with and passage into the sense organ)-These are applicable to all sense organs other than Chakshurindriya. (9) Vishaya (subject) Shrotrendriya has five subjects, Chakshurindriya has five, Ghranendriya has two, Rasanendriya has five and Sparshendriya has eight subjects. The minimum range of receptivity of all sense organs is innumerable fraction of an Angul and maximum is 12 Yojans for Shrotrendriya, more than one hundred thousand Yojans for Chakshurindriya, and 9 Yojans each for Ghranendriya, Rasanendriya and Sparshendriya. These are the distances from which the sense organs are capable of acquiring their respective subjects. After these come-- (10) Anagar-dvar, (11) Aahar-dvar, (12) Adarsh-dvar, (13) Asi-dvar, (14) Mani-dvar, (15) Udpaan (Dugdhapaan)-dvar, (16) Tail-dvar, (17) Fanit-dvar, (18) Vasa-dvar, (19) Kambal-dvar, (20) Sthuna-dvar, (21) Thiggal-dvar, (22) Dveepodadhi-dvar, (23) Lok-dvar, and (24) Alokdvar. Thus sense organs have been described on the basis of the said 24 attributes (dvars).
