Elaboration-In the above-mentioned aphorism, there is the description of worldly living beings engaged in sexual activities. Four types of gods namely Vaimanik gods, Bhavanvasi gods, Vyantar gods and Jyotishk gods, human beings and five-sensed living beings on land, in water and in air (the sky) are involved in lust for sexual activities.
Five-sensed animal beings can engage in sex. The living beings who are one-sensed upto four sensed cannot engage outwardly in sexual activities but they certainly have desire for it as they are in a slut of neutral feelings.
In the present lesson, the very first description is of gods who engage in sexual activities. It is because the celestial beings appear to have deeper desire for sex than that of living beings in other states of
nce. The cause of greater involvement in sex is that their life is extremely full of worldly pleasures. There fluid power is also helpful to them in this respect. They enjoy sex in many ways.
It is mentioned in Bhagavati Sutra that the celestial beings of lower heaven abduct the goddesses of other celestial beings. Ti quarrels also arise among them due to goddesses.
Out of gods of four types, Vaimanik gods are of two types-namely Kalpopann (ten different categories according to their status) and Kalpateet (There is no difference of status among them. They are equal
in each heaven to which they belong). The gods residing in the first 4 twelve heavens are Kalpopann while the gods in nine Graiveyiks and 4 five Anuttar Vimans are kalpateet. Engagement in lustful activities is
limited to gods in Kalpopann heavens. The lust of Kalpateet gods is $5 totally subdued. Although the delusion exists in kalpateet gods also, yet they do no engage in sex because their lust for it is subdued or at a very low level.
