 getting knowledge, humble and free from curiosity, straight- forward and righteous.

The second good emotion takes its name, Padmalesyd, from the lotus-flower, for jiva beneath its dominion open their hearts to all good things as lotus lilies expand to the sun. Its colour is yellow,^ and its taste is better than honey. Through its power a man controls anger, pride, deceit and avarice, and gains as a reward a quiet mind, whose thoughts are always calm and collected.

The last emotion, the Suklalesyd, is the highest of all ; it is as white as pearls, and its taste sweeter than sugar. Love and hatred disappear when a man is under its influence, and he feels in harmony with all nature. Knowledge is now complete, austerity finished and char- acter perfected, for, governed by it, the mind itself becomes a sun and has no stain of evil and, unbarred by karma, the way lies open to mok§a.

The eighth class of jiva are called Alesl, for they have done with all feeling and completely stultified everything in their personahty which might respond to emotion. Only the Siddha are to be found in this class.

viii. Nine The Jaina divide Jiva again in nine ways : Prithvikaya, classes. Apakaya, Teukaya, Vayukaya, Vanaspatikaya, Be-indriya, Tri-indriya, Corendriya, and Pancendriya, but all these have already been discussed, and this division is only made for the sake of symmetry.

Ten When Jiva is classified in ten ways, the five old divi- sions we already know of (Ekendriya, &c.) are used, but each of these is subdivided into two classes, Parydptd and Aparydptd, according as they have or have not all the Paryapti. There are six of these paryapti : dhdra, the seed of life; sarira, the body; indriya, the senses; svdsocchvdsa, breathing; bhdsd, speech; and mana,^ intel- lect ; and in this order the Jaina believe the jiva develops them as it passes by transmigration from life to life.
