________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha conventionally called the pudgala. Now, the pudgala are broadly classified as gross (badara) or fine (suksma), but have been classified further into six kinds; these fill completely the three-worlds or the universe-space (loka).The six kinds of pudgala are: 1. Extremely gross (badara-badara): wood, stone, etc., which do not unite again after being pierced; 2. Gross (badara): milk, butter-milk, oil, water, juice, etc., which unite again on being pierced; 3. Gross-fine (badara-suksma): shadow, sunlight, darkness, moonlight, etc. - since these are recognized by the eye these are gross, and since these cannot be pierced, slit or handled these are fine too; 4. Fine-gross (suksma-badara): touch (sparsa), taste (rasa), smell (gandha) and sound (sabda), etc. - since these are not recognized by the eye these are fine, and since these are recognized by the other four senses these are gross too; 5. Fine (suksma): molecules (pudgala-skandha) that are fit to turn into the karmas - karmana-vargana, etc., which are fine and cannot be perceived by the senses; 6. Extremely fine (suksma-suksma): extremely minute molecules (pudgala-skandha), finer than the karmana-vargana, upto the two-atom molecules. . .. . .. . . . . . . .. 150
