GOMMATASARA.
Commentary.
The 4 censurable talks or gossips ( Vikathás ), each being com - bined with each one of the 4 passions, gives the number 4x4 - 16 of combinations of 2 elements each. Each of these 16 being combined with each one of the 5 senses make 16x5 = 80 combinations of 3 elements each. Each one of these 80 must have sleep and attach - ment, so that the number of the combinations of 5 elements each
is 80.
पढमं पमपमा कमेण शिक्खिविय उबरिमाणं च । पिंडं पडि एक्केकं शिक्खित्ते होदि पत्थारो ॥ ३७ ॥ प्रथमं प्रमादप्रमाणं क्रमेण निक्षिप्य उपरिमाणं च पिंडं प्रति एकैकं निक्षिप्ते भवति प्रस्तारः ॥ ३७ ॥
37. Distribution is by placing respectively each one of 4 elements of the first class of Pramáda (gossip or Vikatha), then covering each one of these with each one of the elements of the succeeding classes.
णिक्खित्तु बिदियमेत्तं पढमं तस्सुवरि बिदिय मक्केकं । पिंडं पडिणिक्खे एवं सव्वत्थ कायव्वो ॥ ३८ ॥ निक्षिप्त्वा द्वितीयमात्रं प्रथमं तस्योपरि द्वितीयमेकैकम् । पिण्डं प्रति निक्षेप एवं सर्वत्र कर्तव्यः ॥ ३८ ॥

38. Placing the elements of the first class as many times as there are elements in the second class, in each group on the top, place one by one the element of the second, do like this in all ( classes ) ( till you get the 80 combinations).
Commentary.
This distribution is as follows:
Place the 4 kinds of gossips one by one as there are 4 passions, each of the 4 gossips will have to be placed in 4 places. Each one of the 4 passions can cover the gossips in turn, thus we get 16 combinations of two elements each. All these 16 combina - tions will have to be placed 5 times so that each one of them should be covered with each one of the 5 senses, thus yielding 80 com - binations of 3 elements each. To each one of the 80 add sleep and
