**470** [**Prajñāpanasūtra [1553]**] **Bhagavan!** How many directions are there from which **pudgalas** are chosen for the **Audārika** body? [**U.** **Gautama!** From six directions in terms of **niyāghāta**, from perhaps three directions in terms of **vyāghāta**, perhaps from four directions, and perhaps from five directions (pudgalas are chosen). **1554.** **Beoubdhiyasarīras** **Bhagavan!** How many directions are there from which **pudgalas** are chosen for the **Vaikriya** body? [**U.**] **Gautama!** From six directions according to the rule (pudgalas are chosen). **1555.** Similarly (as the **Vaikriya** body), the **pudgalas** of the **Āhārakas** body are also chosen from six directions according to the rule. **1556.** The **Taijasa** and **Karmāṇa** (bodies' pudgalas are chosen) [as stated in **Sūtra 1553**] are similar to the **Audārika** body (in terms of pudgala selection). **1557.** **Bhagavan!** How many directions are there from which **pudgalas** are **upacita** for the **Audārika** body? [**U.**] **Gautama!** (As it was said regarding selection), similarly (regarding **upacaya** from the **Audārika** body to) the **Karmāṇa** body (should be said). **1558.** (As the **pudgalas** of the five bodies, **Audārika** etc., are) **upacita**, similarly (they are) **avacita**.
**Discussion:** The consideration of the selection, **upacaya**, and **avacaya** of the **pudgalas** of the five bodies is presented in six **sūtras** (from 1553 to 1558) in this fourth **dvāra**.
**Definition of Selection, Upacaya, and Avacaya:**
* **Selection** means the accumulation, collection, or gathering of **pudgalas**.
* **Upacaya** means the selection in abundance, increase, or growth.
* **Avacaya** means the decrease, reduction, or removal of **pudgalas**.
