aerials (4) Urparisarp—those who crawl without the help of limbs, like snakes etc or non-limbed reptilians. (5) Bhujparisarp-those who crawl with the help of limbs, like rat, squirrel etc. or limbed reptilians. Those born spontaneously without male-female intercourse are called Sammurchhım (of asexual origin) and those born out of womb are called Garbhaj or Grabhavyutkrant. Beings who have fully developed capacity of food intake and other physiological functions are called Paryaptak (fully developed) and those who are still short of such development are called Aparyaptak (underdeveloped). Thus these four kinds (Sammurchhim, Garbhaj, Paryaptak and Aparyaptak) of each of the five categories of five-sensed animals make twenty categories. Here seven classifications of each of the five kinds have been made(1) Aughik (general), (2) Sammurchhim, (3) Aparyaptak Sammurchhim, (4) Paryaptak Sammurchhim, (5) Garbhaj, (6) Aparyaptak Garbhaj, and (7) Paryaptak Garbhaj. These seven categories of five kinds of animals make a total of 35 categories. Adding one more being the general category for all animals, a total of 36 questions have been answered here. These 36 are called Avagahana Sthan or places (types) of spaceoccupation. मनुष्यगति-अवगाहना निरूपण
