(10) As a rule all classes (895a) have three bodies, viz the earthly, fiery and karmic bodies. Yet B and PK may also possess the transformation body and KK may also possess the transposition body.
(11) All classes (895b) are born and live (jammaņa-santibhāvam [= sadbhāvam, Abhay.] paducca) in karmic places (kammabhūmi) but, except the P-class, they may visit places free from karman (akamma-bh.) if they are brought there [by gods and the like] (sāharanam paducca).
saharanam = samharaṇam: kşetrântarāt kşetrântare dev’ādibhir nayanam, Abhay.
(12) Generally speaking (896a) all classes are born and live (jammanam santibhāvam ca paducca) either in the susama-dūsamākāla or in the dūsama-susamā-k. or in the dūsama-k. of an osappiņi or an ussappiņī. There are, however, one or two slight differences: P, N and S for instance never are born in the dūsamā-k. of an osappiņi. Moreover, all classes may be born and live also in the dūsama-susamā-palibhāga of a no-osappiņi-noussappiņi. Classes experiencing sāharaṇa (sāharanam paducca, cf. (11) above) live in some (annayara) good period (samākāla) or palibhāga.
osappiņi and ussappiņi are found only in Bhārata and Airāvata. In Mahavideha (part of which is a karma-bhūmi), Hemavata etc. the evolution of time is called no-osappiņi-no-ussappiņi, Abhay. In the text this no-o.-no-us. is divided into four parts (palibhaga) called susama-susamā, susamā, susamadūsamă (so also read 896b6) and dūsama-susamă.
(13) Whereas (897a) after death S attain liberation (siddhi-gai), the other classes are reborn among all kinds of gods (inda, sāmāniya, tāyattīsa, logapāla, ahaminda; the rank depends on their virāhaņā or avirāhanā) in the different Vemāņiya-heavens; the quantity of life (thii) of these gods.
avirähaņā = avirādhanā : jñan'ādinām athavă labdher anupajivanā, Abhay. (14) The classes P, B and K (898a) present forms of selfdiscipline (samjama-thāņa), but with N and S there is no difference in this respect: they all possess [the] one [maximal] form of self-discipline. At the end the relative frequency of the possible cases.
