DRAVYA-SANGRAHA, 16.
are enumerated in Tattvarthadhigama Sutra " स्पर्शेरसगन्धववन्तः पुद्गलाः gener: "[V. 23] ie.. "Pudgalas have touch. taste, smell and colour." In Vardhamana-Purana by Sakalakirti also we have "बर्णगन्धरसस्पर्शमयाश्चानन्तपुद्गलाः ।"
[Canto XVI. Verse 16.]
i...." Pudgalas are endless and characterised by colour, smell, taste and touch." The varieties of colour, etc., have already been mentioned in the commentary to Verse 7. Page 23).
Thus we find that among the five varieties of Ajiva, Pudgala has shape and possesses colour, sanell, taste and touch. The other four Ajivas, Dharma, Adhaima, Kâla and Akasa have no form.

COMMENTARY.
Sabila or sound is said to be of two kinds-Bhâ-à-laksana (as incorporated in languages) and Abhi-laksana (which does not find place in any language). The first, again, is of two kinds, viz. (1) sounds which are expressed by letters and (2) sounds which are not expressed by letters. It is said that the last-mentioned kind of sounds is made by creatures who possess two, three or four senses. or by the Kevalis.
