**Pindaniyukti**
This is for the purpose of **pindaniyukti** and **dahopaśaman** (cremation and pacifying the fire) or, as per the physician's advice, for **lep** (ointment) etc. The consumption of **chaturindriya** (four-sensed beings) like **makkhi** (flies) **mal** (excreta, i.e., honey) is for **vaman-nirodh** (stopping vomiting) or the **ashvamaskhika** (horsefly) is used to remove **akshar** (black water) from the eyes. **Panchendriya** (five-sensed beings) are **nairyaik** (useless) in **pind** (body). 36. These are the uses of **tiryanch panchendriya** (five-sensed beings in the animal kingdom) **pind**: **charma** (skin), **asthi** (bone), **dant** (tooth), **nakh** (nail), **rom** (hair), **sing** (horn), **bhed** (sheep) etc. **mingni** (wool), **gobar** (cow dung), **gomutra** (cow urine), and **doodh-dadhi** (milk-curd) etc. 37. (There are three types of humans: **sachitt**, **mishra**, and **achitt**.) The purpose of **sachitt** (conscious) humans is to **pravrajit** (make them renounce the world), guide them on the path when asked, give **bhiksha** (alms) to **munis** (ascetics), provide **vasati** (shelter) etc. The purpose of **achitt** (unconscious) humans is that their skull is ground and used to cure a specific disease related to the **ling** (genitals). The purpose of **mishra** (mixed) humans is that their bones are used to make ornaments, ashes are applied to their bodies, and they are used to ask the way of **kapalik** (skull-wearers). 38. This is the use of **devata** (deities) for **tapasvi** (ascetics), **kshapka** (those who practice severe austerities) etc. **munis** (ascetics) to ask about their **kal-mrityu** (time of death) and about the **shubh-ashubh** (auspicious-inauspicious) aspects of the path. 39. There is also a **mishra pind** (mixed body) of these nine **pind** (bodies) (see verse 8). From **dwik** (two) to **charam** (extreme) **sanyog** (combination), there is a **mishra pind**. 40. These are other examples of **mishra pind**: **sauvir-kanji** (rice gruel), **goras-chhach** (whey), **asav-madya** (wine), **vesan-jira** (gram flour-cumin), **lavan** (salt) etc., **bheshaj-yavagu** (medicinal barley water), **sneh-ghrit** (clarified butter) etc., **shak** (vegetables), **phal** (fruits), **pudgal-pakaya hua mans** (cooked meat), **lavan**, **gudoudan** (sweet rice) - in this way, there are many **mishra pind** due to **sanyog** (combination). 1. The commentator has clearly mentioned the uses of **charma** (skin) etc. **Charma** is used to make **koshak** (containers) to keep **ksura** (razor) etc. The **asthi** (bone) and **nakh** (nail) of **giddha** (vulture) are tied externally to treat **phoda** (boil) in the body. The **daada** (molar) of **shukar** (pig) is used to cure **drishtipusp** (a specific eye disease). The **nakh** (nails) of specific creatures are used for **dhoop** (incense) and **gandh** (fragrance), and also for the treatment of specific diseases. **Rom** (hair) is used to make **kambal** (blankets). The **sing** (horn) is used to call together **marg bhrashta sadhu** (deviated ascetics) and **gomutra** (cow urine) is used for **khujli** (itching) etc. (Mavri P. 20, 21). 2. The commentator mentions another use of the skull, saying that if a king is angry with an ascetic and tries to kill him, the ascetic should take the skull and escape to another country disguised as a **kapalik** (skull-wearer) (Mavri P. 21). 3. The word "**adi**" (etc.) should also include **acharya** (teacher) etc. in addition to **kshapka**. The commentator's opinion is that **devata** (deities) are present in the presence of **kshapka** due to his special **tapovishesh** (austerities), hence the word **kshapka** is used here directly. 4. There are 36 options for **dwik sanyog** (two combinations), 84 for **trik sanyog** (three combinations), 126 for **chatushk sanyog** (four combinations), 126 for **panch sanyog** (five combinations), 84 for **shat sanyog** (six combinations), 36 for **sapt sanyog** (seven combinations), 9 for **asht sanyog** (eight combinations), and 1 for **nav sanyog** (nine combinations) - a total of 502 options (Mavri P. 21). 5. The commentator has explained in detail how many **kay** (bodies) are mixed in **sauvir** (rice gruel) etc. **Sauvir-kanji** is a **pind** (body) of **apkay** (water body), **tejaskay** (fire body), and **vanaspatikay** (plant body) because rice is washed and cooked with water, **avshravan** (residue) is formed by fire, and **tandul** (rice) is used as **vanaspatikay**. Some people also add **lavan** (salt) to it, so there is also a mixture of **prithvikay** (earth body). **Goras-takr** (whey) etc. are a mixture of **apkay** and **traskay** (wind body). **Asav-madya** (wine) is a **pind** of **apkay**, **tejaskay**, and **vanaspatikay** etc. **Vesan** (gram flour) is a **pind** of **vanaspatikay** and **prithvikay** etc. **Bheshaj yavagu** (medicinal barley water) etc. are a **pind** of **apkay**, **tejaskay**, and **vanaspatikay**. **Sneh-ghrit** (clarified butter) etc. are a **pind** of **tejaskay** and **traskay**. **Shak** (vegetables) like **bhathua bharjika** (spinach) etc. are **pind** forms of **vanaspati** (plant), **prithvikay**, and **traskay** etc. (Mavri P. 22).
