formable matters), taijasa-pudgala-parivarttas (assemblings of luminous matters), kārmana-pudgala-parivarttas (assemblings of karmic matters), manahpudgala-parivarttas (assemblings of mental particles or mind-dusts), vāk-pudgala-parivarttas (assemblings of speech-matters) and ānaprāņa-pudgalaparivarttas (assemblings of respiration-matters). ?
Taijasa and kārmaņa-pudgalaparivarttas are eguttariyā (one or two or three in the minimum or countable up to infinite in the maximum) in all cases; manahpudgalaparivarttas are eguttariyā in all five-sensed beings but there is none in the case vikalendriyajsvas (two-sensed up to four-sensed beings), vāk-pudgala-parivarttas are thus and the same; the particular difference is this that it is not applicable in the case of onesensed beings. Ānaprāņa-pudgala-parivarttas take place in all cases of five-sensed beings up to that of the vaimānikas2 (celestial beings).
Audārika-pudgala-parivarttas occur because audārikaśarira-prayogadravyas (material substances applied by the gross body) in the form of audārikaśarfra (gross physical body) are received, bound, pervaded, transformed, held, settled, immersed, attained and developed by soul, existing in the gross physical body and in the forms of limbs and they are transformed, dissociated, discharged and given up by it. Similarly, vaikriya-pudgala-parivarttas (assembling together of the transformable matter) also should be understood. The particular difference is this that it should be stated that it is received by soul existing in vaikriyaśarīra (transformable body).
