[9116 8498849. To explain the nature of the remaining Pariṣahas, the sūtra says:
The remaining Pariṣahas are all dependent on Vedaniya. ||16|| 8850. The eleven Pariṣahas have been mentioned earlier. The remaining Pariṣahas are different from them and are dependent on Vedaniya. The word "भवन्ति" (exist) is implied in the sūtra. What are these remaining Pariṣahas? They are: Kṣudhā (hunger), Pipāsā (thirst), Śīta (cold), Uṣṇa (heat), Daṃśa-maśaka (bite of insects), Carya (movement), Śayyā (lying down), Vadh (killing), Roga (disease), Tṛṇa-sparśa (touch of grass), and Mala-pariṣaha (excrement).
8851. The sūtra says:
One to nineteen Pariṣahas can exist simultaneously in a single soul. ||17|| 8852. The word "आङ्" (Aṅ) here signifies possibility. This implies that nineteen Pariṣahas can also exist simultaneously in a single soul. How is this possible? The answer is: In a single soul, only one of the two Pariṣahas, Śīta and Uṣṇa, can exist at the same time, and only one of the three Pariṣahas, Śayyā, Niṣadyā, and Carya, can exist at the same time. This is because there is a conflict in having both Śīta and Uṣṇa, and all three of Śayyā, Niṣadyā, and Carya, existing simultaneously. When these three are excluded, the remaining Pariṣahas can exist simultaneously in a single soul, making a total of nineteen possibilities.
Now, someone might argue that there is also a conflict between Prajñā (wisdom) and Ajñāna (ignorance), so they cannot exist simultaneously. The answer is: In a single soul, Prajñā-pariṣaha is dependent on Śruta-jñāna (knowledge gained from scriptures), while Ajñāna-pariṣaha is dependent on Moha-nimitta (cause of delusion). Therefore, both can exist simultaneously.
849. Now, to explain the specific nature of the remaining Pariṣahas, the next sūtra says:
All the remaining Pariṣahas exist in the presence of Vedaniya. ||16||
8850. Eleven Pariṣahas have been mentioned earlier. The remaining Pariṣahas are different from them and are dependent on Vedaniya. The word "भवन्ति" (exist) is implied in the sūtra. The question arises: What are these remaining Pariṣahas? The answer is: Kṣudhā (hunger), Pipāsā (thirst), Śīta (cold), Uṣṇa (heat), Daṃśa-maśaka (bite of insects), Carya (movement), Śayyā (lying down), Vadh (killing), Roga (disease), Tṛṇa-sparśa (touch of grass), and Mala-pariṣaha (excrement).
Explanation: These Pariṣahas arise due to their respective causes. For example, hunger arises due to lack of food in the body, thirst arises due to lack of water, cold arises due to the cold season, heat arises due to the hot season, bite of insects arises due to insects biting, pain while moving or lying down arises due to thorns, etc., killing arises due to someone killing, abuse arises due to someone abusing, disease arises due to disease in the body, pain due to touching grass arises due to touching grass, and excrement arises due to excrement in the body. The cause of these Pariṣahas is not the arising of Vedaniya karma, but the pain of hunger, thirst, etc., that arises due to these actions is the result of Vedaniya karma. This is the meaning that should be understood here.
