Reals in the faina Metaphysics (Inhalation and exhalation) and Ayuş (life period) constitute the ten Prāņa's.
'Paryāpti' is the cause of getting life; a soul is 'Paryāpta' or fully capable in that respect in which he attains 'Paryāpti and gets the particular mode of life accordingly. Paryāpti is of six forms:--Ahāra-Paryāpti, Sarīra-Paryāpti, Indriya-Paryāpti, Prāṇāpāna-Paryāpti, Vaçana-Paryāpti and Manas-Paryāpti. The one-sensed animal is never possessed of Vaçana-Paryāpti and Manas-Paryāpti; hence it is devoid of Manas (Mind) and Vaçana (power of speech). In the same way the twosensed, the three-sensed, the four-sensed and the non-minded five-sensed animals are devoid of Mind as they never have the Manas. Paryāpti. All the six forms of the Paryāpti are found in a minded (Sanjñi) animal.
PARYAPTI
As soon as the soul is possessed of the Ahāra-Paryāpti, it becomes capable of taking in Pudgala which is competent to form the Body and thus is generated the Life, called the 'Ayus'. The soul which has thus the 'Ahāra-Paryāpti’ is called the 'Ahāraka'; when it is stripped off this Paryāpti, it is called the 'Anāhāraka'. The soul which has reached the fourteenth i.e. the last Gunasthāna is called the Ayoga-kevali; it is an Anāhāraka. The Siddha's are 'Anähāraka's'. A soul remains in the state of the Anāhāraka, after it has left one body and before it assumes a fresh one; this state is called the VigrahaGati. The soul, as was pointed out before, is of the same extent as the Body; but when for some reasons, the Soul expands itself beyond the dimensions of the Body and then contracts itself into the form of the Body again, it is said to have 'Samudghấta'. During certain time of the Samudghāta the Jiva is said to be in the state of Anāhāraka.
When the soul has 'Sārīra-Paryāpti', it gets the body, becomes capable of doing the bodily functions e.g. moving from place to place etc. and is possessed of the life, called 'Sarira-bala'. The Body is of five kinds viz: Audārika, Vaikriyika, Ahāraka, Taijasa and Kārmaņa. The last two bodies have no sense-ograns; these two are attached to the soul
