day is said to be a frequent eater. The same is true for respiration. Relative to the one who inhales and exhales in a fortnight, the one who inhales and exhales in seven Stokes is said to be a frequent breather.
Why the statement about karma, colour and leshya of Asur Kumars is opposite of that of infernal beings ?- The reason for this contradiction is that as the mentality of Asur Kumars born earlier is extremely lusty and conceited, they torment infernal beings excessively. By enduring pain the infernal beings shed their karmas but the Asur Kumars acquire new karmic bondage. Their impurity increases due to cruel feelings and other perversions. As they continue to add to their demeritorious karmas they are called maha-karmi (having excessive and heavy karmas).
Explaining the reason for calling earth-bodied and other such beings deceitful and unrighteous it is mentioned that one of the reasons is anantanubandhi kashaya (passions that enhance the unending cycles of rebirth). Those with anantanubandhi kashaya are unrighteous (mithyadrishti). Another meaning is that they experience the fruits of karmas in a state of stupor like an unconscious or intoxicated person. They are not aware of who is causing them pain and why; fruition of which karma is causing them pain and that they have been born as earth-bodied beings only because of their deceitful activities.
The uniqueness of intake by human beings—Human beings are of two kinds-mahashariri (large bodied) and alpashariri (small bodied). Large bodied human beings and infernal beings both eat a large quantity of matter particles. However there is a great difference in the matter. The matter particles the large bodied infernal beings eat are worthless and gross whereas those eaten by human beings, specially those belonging to Deva-kuru and Uttar-kuru (the land of enjoyment), are potent and subtle. The body of the human beings of the land of enjoyment is three Gau in dimension and their intake is once in three days. For this reason the large bodied humans are called infrequent eaters (meager eaters in one way). As the same volume of gold is heavier than silver, the food of humans of Deva-kuru and Uttar-kuru is less in volume but rich in potency; therefore it has more number of particles than the food of small bodied humans. From this viewpoint they are said to have intake of large quantity of matter particles. As the food of small bodied humans is worthless and with low density of matter particles they have to eat frequently.
