Chapter 2 - The Fluctuation of the Sutra: The disturbance of the male body is the least stable; the disturbance of the female body is more stable than that, and the disturbance of the neuter body is even more stable than that of the female body. This matter is explained through a comparison in the following way? The disturbance of the male is like a fire burning in grass; it appears to manifest quickly due to its unique physical composition and seems to calm just as rapidly. The disturbance of the female is akin to an ember; it does not manifest quickly due to its unique composition and does not seem to calm quickly either. The disturbance of the neuter is like a baked brick; it calms down after a very long time. In females, softness is predominant, thus they have an expectation of a hard element; in males, hardness is predominant, so they have an expectation of a soft element, but in the neuter, there is a mixture of both qualities, hence there is an expectation of both elements. Now, what are the types of lifespan and their masters?
In the Digambara tradition, there is a sutra that states, "The supreme male has countless years of lifespan and age." According to the commentary in "Sarvarthasiddhi" and others, this should be understood as referring to the supreme being.
