Dear Bhagavathas,
Adiyen has got some doubt in understasnding the
meanings of achethanam and jadam , the difference
between chethanam and acethanam, between achethanam
and jadam.
I understand that chethanam is jeevathma, that which
has got an intellect. Achethanam has got no
intellect. My doubt is whether chethanam means that
which has got a life and achethanam has no life. If
so, lower forms of life like worms, germs, viruses,
trees etc which have got life but no intellect--Are
these to be classified as achethanam or chethanam.?

Secondly stones, lump of mud, pot etc are achethanams
or jada. But in the Vishnuputanam, in the story of
moksham of Dadhipandan, we find the pot was given
moksham. If so, can achethanam also get moksham? Or
is it to be taken as poetic fallacy? 

With regards,Adiyen, 
Rajagopalan.
