The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c8.74

c8.74

The shape of the body (*saṃṭhāṇa*), too may appear in 6 different kinds (Ṭhāṇ. 357a; Tand. 27b). A being is proportioned either all over (*sama-cauramsa*), or only above (*niggoha*, *n.-parimaṇḍala*), or only below (*sāiya*, Comm. *sādi*, Um. *sāci*). It is either hunchbacked (*khujja*), or crippled (*vāmaṇa*), or deformed (*huṇḍa*). The latter refers to the inhabitants of hell (comp. § 109) as well as to all coagulated beings except those furnished with one sense only, as is described in § 105. While all kinds apply to the generated higher animals and human beings, the first kind only will apply to the gods.
