1. KUNJARA.
1 (720a) * a. During his former existence the elephant (hatthi : kunjar a) Udāi (see VII 92) was an Asurakumāra. After his death he will be reborn among the H in Rayanappabhā. After that he will achieve salvation in Mahāvideha. b. The same for the elephant Bhūyāṇanda (see ibid.).
2 (720b) Casuistic application of the theory of the five actions (mentioned in I 82) to special cases of gathering or catching the falling fruit of a palm-tree (tāla-phala) and of shaking that tree or part of it.
As was the case in V 64 not only the man but also the fruit and the tree are said to be 'touched' (puţtha) by four or five actions. Obviously the action by which they are 'touched' or not is pāņâiväiyā kiriya 'murderous action'.
3 (721b) While bringing about (nivvattemāņa) the five bodies, the five senses and the three active forces (joga) beings (viz HAMG as far, of course, as they possess these bodies etc.) are affected by three, four or five actions (jīve ... siya ti-kirie siya cau-k. siya panca-k.).
The number of actions of course depends on whether, while bringing about these bodies etc., the being hurts (4th action) resp. kills (5th action) other beings or not.
4 (722a) On the six karmic conditions (bhāva), viz udaiya etc.; ref. to Aņuog. 113b seqq. **
