[36] [Jiva-jiva-abhigamsutra] They, by changing, removing, shaking off, and destroying the old (previous) color qualities or touch qualities of those ingested pudgalas, produce other unprecedented color qualities, odor qualities, taste qualities, and touch qualities in them, and they take the pudgalas that are deeply attached to the soul-body from all the soul-regions. / [16] "O Venerable One! From where do the jivas arise?" / "Do they arise from hell, from the animal realm, from humans, or from gods?" / "Gautama! They do not arise from hell, they arise from the animal realm, they arise from humans, they do not arise from gods. They arise from the animal realm, then they arise from all the animal realms except those with an infinite lifespan in the realm of enjoyment. They arise from humans, then they arise from all humans except those who are in the state of non-action and those with an infinite lifespan." / "Thus, one should speak of the reverse-arising." / [19] "Venerable One! How long is the duration of the jivas?" / "Gautama! Their duration is from an antarmukha to an antarmukha, from the lowest to the highest." / [20] "Venerable One! Do the jivas die with or without attachment to the death-approaching assault?" / "Gautama! They die both with and without attachment to the death-approaching assault." / [21]
