Five sensed beings

edit

In Sukhlal Sanghavi's Tattvartha sutra Ch:2 verse 21

In the thirteenth and fourteenth aphorisms the worldly beings are divided into two types viz. the static and the mobile. There are of them nine species in all; that is, the earth bodied beings, the water bodied, the plant bodied, the fire bodied and the air bodied these five on the one hand and the beings possessed of two cognitive organs, those possessed of three, those possessed of four, those possessed of five these four on the other. Of these, the species upto the air bodied are possessed of but one cognitive organ viz. the tactile.

An insect, a leech, etc. are possessed of two cognitive organs viz. the tactile and the gustatory. An ant, a gnat, a bug etc. are possessed of those two plus the olfactory organ that is, three of them in all. A black bee, a fly, a scorpion, a mosquito, etc. are possessed of those three plus the visual organ that is, four of them in all. A man, an animal, a bird, a heavenly being, a hellish being possess those four plus the auditory organ that is, five of them in all.
