तस चदुजुगाणमझे अविरुद्धेहि जुदजादि कम्मुदये। जीवसमासा होर्ति हु तब्भवसारिच्छ सामण्णा ॥७१ ॥ त्रसचतुर्युगलानां मध्ये अविरुद्धैर्युतजातिकर्मोदये । जीवसमासा भवन्ति हि तद्भवसादृश्यसामान्याः ॥ ७१ ॥
71. Owing to the operation of the Genus (Játi, subclass), along with four compatible sub-classes (one each of) the 4 pairs of mobile (Trasa), and immobile (Sthávara), gross (Vádara) and fine (Súkshma), developable (Paryápta) and undevelopable (Aparyápta), one-body-one-soul (Pratyeka) and one-body-many-souls (Sádhárana) subclasses of body making (Náma] karma, the soul-classes (Jiya Samása) certainly have common conotations in space and time.
Commentary. Common conotation means the sum of attributes or qualities which make up a common name, as for example animality, possession of five senses, rationality and humanity in man, because this common conotation applies to all the individuals who are found in space and are called man, it is called common conotation in space, or spatial conotation (Tiryak Sámánya or Sádrishya Sámánya).
But in any particular man, all these common attributes of man have existed in all his different conditions since he was born as a human being. A consideration of the common conotation as existing for all this time is called common conotation in time or time conotation (Úrdhvatá Sámnáya or Tadbhava Sámánya).
The genus (Játi) of mundane souls is of 5 kinds according to their possession of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 senses.
All these souls may be mobile or immobile. All the one sense souled are immobile, the rest are mobile.
(2) They may be gross or fine; all the souls are gross, only some of the one-sensed souls are fine.
(3) All the souls are either developable or not.
(4) All the souls occupy one body each, except some vegetable souls who share their body with other souls.
One and not more than one of these four pairs of distinction must be found in a soul at any time. But the 4 must be compatible;
