DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS The first is the ideal, and as such it is characteristic of the Arhats etc
The shape of the body (samthāna), too may appear in 6 different kinds (Thān 357a, Tand 27b). A being is proportioned either all over (sama-cauramsa), or only above (niggoha, n-parimandala), or only below (sārya, Comm sādi, Um. sāci). It is either hunchbacked (khujja), or crippled (vāmana), or deformed (hunda) The latter refers to the inhabitants of hell (comp § 109) as well as as to all coagulated beings except those furnished with one sense only, as is described in § 105. While all kinds apply to the generated higher animals and human beings, the first kind only will apply to the gods
Next to the shape of the body we have to mention its size (sarīr'ogāhana) The bodies of elemental beings will not go beyond their diminutive smallness which, as a minimum, partains to all earthly beings. But everywhere else the maximum size is enormous plants and aquatic animals upto 1000 joy., animals living on dry land up to 6 gāuya, and human beings up to 3 g etc. (Pannav 412b). Beyond the range of the horizontal world the size of the body will increase the more the deeper we go, as it will decrease the more the higher we go : the beings inhabiting the deepest regions of hell measure 500 dhaņu, the Anuttarovavāıya 1 rayani (Pannav. 417a). For the siddha see $187.
$66. We now come to speak of the bodily functions. Breathing is called ānamar pānamaz? ūsāsai rīsasar. While the first two words express the inward activity, the last two refer to the outward one (Prajn 220 b) Unexceptionally all beings breathe (Pannav 7), but the intervals will be the longer the higher they stand. Thus the inhabitants of hell breathe incessantly, whereas the highest Vemānıya breathes every 33 fortnights only, but animals furnished with one to five senses and human beings follow different ways of breathing (vemāyāe). As we learn from Viy. 274b in contrast to Tand 3b, the frequency
