The smooth Bādar Earth-bodied beings are said to be of seven types - black soil, etc., according to the knowledge of the differentiation sutra. However, they are said to be of two types in brief - sufficient and insufficient. / O Bhagavan! How many bodies are said to be of these beings? Gautama! Three bodies are said to be, such as, Praudārika, Tejas and Kārmaṇ. / In this way, all the statements should be known as before. / The special feature is that they have four Leshyās. The rest of the statement should be known like the subtle Earth-bodied beings, as they take food from all six directions according to the rule. / These Bādar Earth-bodied beings are born from the Tiryanch, human and Devas.
