In the Manat-Pranat-Parana-Achyut Kalpa, when the Devas desire mental service, the Devi, remaining in her own place, adorns herself with divine form and ornaments, and the Devas, remaining in their own place, are satisfied, and the Devi, remaining in her own place, becomes beautiful. Here it must be remembered that there is more pleasure in touch service than in body service, more pleasure in form service than in touch service, more pleasure in word service than in form service, more pleasure in mental service than in word service, and even more pleasure in the Devas who are not served. This makes it clear that there is an effect of pleasure in service, but due to the strength of the creature's attachment to character, it experiences pleasure in it. 25 Pain: A Contemplation The twenty-fifth verse is the verse of pain. In the twenty-four Dandakas, the experience of various kinds of pain by the living beings is discussed in this verse. Many types of pain have been described, such as (1) cold, hot, cold-hot (2) substance, field, time, emotion (3) physical, mental and both (4) present, absent, present-absent (5) painful, pleasant, not-painful-not-pleasant (6) self-accepted, induced (7) unconscious, conscious, etc. / The pain of the unconscious is unconscious, and the pain of the unconscious is called unconscious. _ Regarding the cold-hot pain, Acharya Malayagiri has raised the question that if the use is gradual, then how can the experience of both cold and hot be simultaneous? While solving the question, it has been written - The use is gradual, but due to rapid transmission, the order is not experienced at the time of experience, hence the Agam has said the simultaneous experience of cold-hot pain. The same is the case with physical-mental present-absent. 227 ... Acharya Malayagiri has defined the meaning of not-painful-not-pleasant pain as pleasant-painful, i.e. that which cannot be given the name of pleasure, because it also has the experience of pain. Pain cannot be given the name because it also has the experience of pleasure. What is the difference between present-absent and pleasure and pain? Acharya Malayagiri has also answered this question by saying that the pain that occurs due to the sequential emergence of the pudgalas of the pain-causing karma is present-absent, but when another person induces something, the experience of present-absent that occurs at that time is called pleasure-pain. There are two types of pain: self-accepted and induced / The meaning of acceptance is acceptance. We accept many things willingly / Austerity is not done due to the emergence of any karma, it is done due to acceptance / The pain that occurs in austerity is self-accepted pain. The meaning of induction is the induction of karma 225. Prajnapanatika, Letter 252 226. Prajnapanatika, Letter 555 227. Prajnapanatika, Letter 556 228. Prajnapanatika, Letter 556 229.
