[4] with the karman that disturbs conduct parīsahas Nos 6-8, 10, 12, 14 and 19, enumerated in a gāhā; [5] with the obstructing karman parāsaha N° 15. b. He who binds all eight kinds of karman, or seven kinds scil. all except quantity of life, may perceive all of the twenty-two parīsahas, but only twenty of them at the same time since Nos 3 and 4 and Nos 9 and 10 exclude each other. He who binds six kinds of karman scil. all except quantity of life and disturbance (sūksma-samparāya, Abhay.: see Lehre par. 183), i.e. the common monk not wholly devoid of passion (sarāga-chaumattha), may perceive fourteen parīsahas (namely not those mentioned under [3] and [4] in a above), but only twelve at the same time since Nos 3 and 4 and Nos 9 and 11 (not 10 which does not exist here) exclude each other. The same is true for the common monk who has suppressed or annihilated disturbing karman (vīyarāga-chaumattha; upaśānta- and kşīņa-moha, Abhay.: see Lehre ib.) and who, consequently, binds only one kind of karman (viz veyaņijja k.]. Kevalins, whether still active (sajogi-bhavattha-kevali) or not (ajogi-bh.-k.), who also bind only veyanijja k., may perceive eleven parīsahas (namely those mentioned under [2] in a above) with the same mutual exclusions
Cf. Tattv. IX 9-17 (to 14 add ‘resp.”) and Lehre par. 176.
5 (392a) = Jambudd. 458b-463b, see Introduction $ 12.a. Though the stwo) suns of Jambuddiva always have the same elevation [namely 800 yojanas above the (flat) surface of the earth, Abhay. ] at sunrise and sunset the sun is dūre ya mūle ya, which means that though [comparatively) far[ther by its oblique position with regard to the spectator] it (seemingly] is near[er the earth, as if it were rooting in or seated on it: mūla = āsanna, Abhay.), whereas at noon (majjh'antiya-muhuttamsi) it is mūle ya dūre ya, which means [comparatively] near[er by its perpendicular position] and [seemingly) far[ther from the earth). This is explained by the obstruction of the light (lesā-padighāya) in the first and its glow (lesā'bhitāva) in the second case. b. Further particulars on the field of solar radiation (khetta) and its range (see Lehre par. 127). c. On other astral gods, ref. to Jiv. 345b. * *
