The gross nigoda: onion, sprout, moss, fungus, green ginger, wet turmeric — the anantakāya, bodies with infinite souls that a Jain layperson learns to recognise by their hidden joints and leave off the plate.
Where the subtle nigoda are everywhere, the gross ones need a body to live in: roots and bulbs, radish and ginger and thūhar in the Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama; onion, sprout, moss, fungus, green ginger and wet turmeric in Śāntisūri's Jīva-vicāra. The Jīva-vicāra gives the signs by which to know one — the joints are hidden, the fibres are hidden, it breaks clean in equal parts, and it grows again when replanted.
These are the anantakāya, the infinite-bodied, and the reason a Jain kitchen has no onion or garlic or potato in it: to cut one is to end infinite lives at once. Laypeople are given thirty-two kinds to avoid; the atlas prints the count and not the list.
