original Sanskrit: "Viśuddhi-kṣetra-svāmi-viṣayebhyo'vadhi-manaḥparyayayoḥ"

[ In clairvoyance and telepathy ] Between these two forms of direct knowledge, [ through purity, range, ownership, and scope ] there are specific differences:
1. Purity: Telepathy is more spiritually refined than clairvoyance.
2. Range: Clairvoyance can see across the whole universe, whereas telepathy is limited to the region where human beings live.
3. Ownership: Clairvoyance can be possessed by various beings (including those in heaven or hell), but telepathy is only possessed by advanced human ascetics.
4. Scope: They differ in the types of objects and details they can perceive.

Telepathy (manahparyaya) and clairvoyance (avadhi) differ with regard to purity, space, knower and objects.

original Sanskrit: "Mati-śrutayor-nibandho dravyeṣv-asarva-paryāyeṣu"

[ Of sensory and scriptural knowledge ] For the first two types of knowledge, [ the connection/scope ] [ in substances ] extends to all things—such as the soul and matter— [ but not in all modes ].

In Jainism, a "substance" (dravya) is a permanent reality, while a "mode" (paryaya) is its changing state. This verse explains that while we can use our senses (Mati) and study (Shruta) to learn about everything in the universe, these two methods are limited; they cannot perceive every single possible transformation or subtle quality of those things simultaneously.

The range of sensory knowledge and scriptural knowledge extends to all the six substances but not to all their modes.
