विशेषार्थ यहाँ टीकामें लेश्याके दो भेद करके भावलेश्या अन्तर्मुहूर्त में बदलती रहती है यह कहा है । सो इसका तात्पर्य यह है कि जहाँ जो भावलेश्या कही है उसमें परिवर्तन नहीं होता। मात्र उसमें योग और कषायके अनुसार तरतमभाव होता रहता है; क्योंकि प्रत्येक नारकीके वही योग और वही कषाय रहनी चाहिए ऐसा नियम नहीं है। किन्तु अपने-अपने जंघन्य, मध्यम या उत्कृष्ट कालके अनुसार या द्रव्य, क्षेत्र और भावके अनुसार योग और कषायका परिवर्तन नियमसे होता है । यतः कषायानुरंजित योगप्रवृत्तिका नाम लेश्या है अत: योग और कषायके बदलनेसे अपनी मर्यादा के भीतर वह भी बदल जाती है । मात्र जहाँ कापोत लेश्याका जघन्य अंश कहा है वहाँ वही रहता है वह बदलकर कापोत लेश्याका मध्यम और 'उत्कृष्ट अंश नहीं होता या जहाँ परम कृष्ण लेश्या कही है वहाँ वही रहती है वह बदल कर अन्य लेश्या नहीं होती। शेष कथन सुगम है।
६372. क्या इन नारकियोंके शीतोष्णजनित ही दुःख है या दूसरे प्रकारका भी दुःख है, इस बातको बतलानेके लिए आगेका सूत्र कहते हैं
तथा वे परस्पर उत्पन्न किये गये दुःखवाले होते हैं ॥4॥
8373. शंका नारकी परस्पर एक-दूसरेको कैसे दुःख उत्पन्न करते हैं ? समाधाननारकियोंके भवप्रत्यय अवधिज्ञान है जिसे मिथ्यादर्शनके उदयसे विभंगज्ञान कहते हैं । इस ज्ञानके कारण दूरसे ही दुःखके कारणोंको जानकर उनको दुःख उत्पन्न हो जाता है और समीपमें आनेपर एक-दूसरेको देखनेसे उनकी क्रोधाग्नि भभक उठती है । तथा पूर्वभवका स्मरण होनेसे उनकी वैरकी गाँठ और दृढ़तर हो जाती है। जिससे वे कुत्ता और गीदड़के समान एक-दूसरे का घात करनेके लिए प्रवृत्त होते हैं । वे अपनी विक्रियासे तलवार, बसूला, फरसा, हाथसे चलानेका तीर, बी, तोमर नामका अस्त्र विशेष, बरछा और हथौड़ा आदि अस्त्र-शस्त्र बनाकर उनसे तथा अपने हाथ, पांव और दाँतोंसे छेदना, भेदना, छोलना और काटना आदिके द्वारा परस्पर अतितीव्र दुःखको उत्पन्न करते हैं।
5374. जिन कारणोंसे दुःख उत्पन्न होता है वे क्या इतने ही हैं या और भी हैं ? अब इस बातका ज्ञान करानेके लिए आगेका सूत्र कहते हैं
और चौथी भूमिसे पहले तक वे संक्लिष्ट असुरोंके द्वारा उत्पन्न किये गये दुःखवाले भी होते हैं ।।5। 1. नारकाणम् ? भव- मु., ता; ना. ।

[314 8372 They produce suffering only because of the cause of suffering. These beings should be known as increasingly inauspicious, one after the other. 6372. Because the suffering of these hell beings is caused by heat and cold, and also in other ways, the following sutra explains:

**They are afflicted by suffering produced by each other. ||4||**

F373. How is suffering produced by each other? Hell beings, due to their knowledge of the cycle of births and deaths, have a false perception of reality, which is called "vibhanga" (disintegration) knowledge. Because of this knowledge, they understand the causes of suffering from afar and experience suffering. When they come closer, they see each other and their anger flares up. Remembering their past lives, their hatred intensifies. Like dogs and jackals, they attack each other. They create weapons from their own actions, such as swords, daggers, axes, arrows, bows, tomars (a specific type of weapon), spears, and hammers. They inflict intense suffering on each other by piercing, cutting, chopping, and biting with these weapons and their own hands, feet, and teeth.

8374. Are these the only causes of suffering, or are there others? The following sutra explains:

**They are also afflicted by suffering produced by the afflicted Asuras, up to the fourth bhumi. ||5||**

**Note:** The commentary here explains that the "leshya" (subtle body) changes within a moment, with two different types of "leshya" being mentioned. This means that the "leshya" itself doesn't change, but rather its intensity changes according to the "yoga" (spiritual practice) and "kṣaya" (passions). This is because there is no rule that every hell being must have the same "yoga" and "kṣaya." However, according to their lower, middle, or higher time periods, or according to their substance, field, and state, their "yoga" and "kṣaya" change according to a rule. Since "leshya" is the name for the tendency of "yoga" influenced by "kṣaya," it also changes within its own limits as "yoga" and "kṣaya" change. Only where the "kapota" (pigeon) "leshya" is mentioned as the lowest level, it remains the same. It doesn't change into the middle or higher level of "kapota" "leshya." Similarly, where the "param kṛṣṇa" (supreme black) "leshya" is mentioned, it remains the same and doesn't change into another "leshya." The rest of the explanation is straightforward.

6372. The following sutra explains whether the suffering of these hell beings is only caused by heat and cold, or if there are other types of suffering:

**They are also afflicted by suffering produced by each other. ||4||**

8373. The question arises: How do hell beings inflict suffering on each other? The answer is that hell beings have knowledge of the cycle of births and deaths, which is called "vibhanga" (disintegration) knowledge, arising from false perception. Due to this knowledge, they understand the causes of suffering from afar and experience suffering. When they come closer, they see each other and their anger flares up. Remembering their past lives, their hatred intensifies. Like dogs and jackals, they attack each other. They create weapons from their own actions, such as swords, daggers, axes, arrows, bows, tomars (a specific type of weapon), spears, and hammers. They inflict intense suffering on each other by piercing, cutting, chopping, and biting with these weapons and their own hands, feet, and teeth.

5374. The following sutra explains whether these are the only causes of suffering, or if there are others:

**They are also afflicted by suffering produced by the afflicted Asuras, up to the fourth bhumi. ||5||**

**Note:** "Nārakāṇam?" means "Hell beings?" "Bhavamu" means "cycle of births and deaths," "Tā" means "they," and "Nā" means "no."
