119. (The capacity of) assimilating (the molecules of Áhára Varganá of which the external bodies are formed, capacities of forming) body and sense, (the capacity of) (breathing, the capacity of) speech and mind are the six developable capacities (paryapti). (Out of them) four, five and six belong (in their regular order) to one sensed, incomplete sensed (i.e. two, three, four and irrational five sensed) and rational (five sensed souls).
Commentary. The soul immediately after its vigrahagati i.e. passage from one incarnation to another, assimilates to itself the molecules of Áhára varganá out, ofwhich are formed its body, the senses, and breathing, of bhasa-vargana i.e. sound molecules, out of which speech is formed, and of mano-varganá or mind molecules out of which the mind organ in the shape of an eight petalled lotus within the heart is formed. The gaining of the capacity by the soul to develope the different kinds of molecules into their resultant bodily characterstics is called Paryápti or developableness. As shown above there are in all six Paryaptis out of which one-sensed souls can gain, only the first four; and the two-sensed, three-sensed, foursensed, and irrational five-sensed can gain only the first five; and only a rational five-sensed soul can gain all the six.
The difference between the first and the second Paryapti i.e. Áhara and Sharira is that while the first helps in transforming the Ahara vargáná molecules into liquid and solid forms, the second effects the formation of the trunk, flesh, blood and bones etc.
Vikalendriya, incomplete sensed, here include irrational fivesensed sculs.
