[25th Karma-pada] (Pudgalas) are indicated by the desire for words, etc. Or, the Pudgala-parinama, which is the result of the consumption of Brahmo medicine, etc., is experienced. Or, the Pudgala-parinama of auspicious Pudgalas is experienced by seeing the hue of auspicious clouds, etc., or by seeing the gathering of clouds. For example, when young women see the gathering of clouds during the rainy season, they are inclined to sing in a pleasing voice. The effect of this is the experience of auspicious name-karma. That is, the experience of a pleasing voice, etc., is the result of auspicious name-karma. This is the rise of auspicious name-karma due to external causes. When the experience of auspicious name-karma, such as pleasing words, etc., arises from the rise of Pudgalas of auspicious name-karma, then one should understand that name-karma itself has arisen. The experience of inauspicious name-karma is also of 14 types, as before, but it is the opposite of auspicious name-karma. For example, the experience of inauspicious Pudgalas or Pudgalas, such as unpleasant words, etc., is experienced from the words, etc., of a donkey, camel, dog, etc., because unpleasant words, etc., arise from their association. All this should be understood in the opposite way from the aforementioned auspicious name-karma. Or, the Pudgala-parinama, which is the result of the consumption of poison, etc., or the Pudgala-parinama, which is the result of the natural occurrence of a thunderbolt, etc., is experienced, and the effect of this is the experience of an unpleasant voice, etc., as a result of inauspicious name-karma. This is the experience of the rise of inauspicious name-karma due to external causes. Where the experience of unpleasant words, etc., arises from the Pudgalas of inauspicious name-karma, there one should understand that inauspicious name-karma itself has arisen. The experience of Gotra-karma: Distinction, types, causes - There are mainly two types of Gotra-karma: high Gotra and low Gotra. The experience (vedana) of the distinctiveness of high caste, family, strength, form, penance, knowledge, profit, and wealth is the experience of high Gotra, and the experience of the distinctiveness of low caste, etc., is the experience of low Gotra. Experience of high Gotra: How and due to what causes? - Due to the association of that particular substance, or due to the association of a distinguished man like a king, etc., a man born in a low caste also becomes popular like a man of high caste and family. This is the distinctiveness of caste and family. The distinctiveness of strength also arises due to the association of a distinguished man like a wrestler, etc. For example, the strength of wrestlers is generated by swinging wood, this is the distinctiveness of strength. The distinctiveness of form is generated by special types of clothes and ornaments. The distinctiveness of penance is generated in one who stands on the top of a mountain and endures heat, etc. The distinctiveness of knowledge is generated in one who studies in a beautiful region. The distinctiveness of profit is generated due to the association of precious, excellent gems, etc. The distinctiveness of wealth is generated due to the association of wealth, gold, etc. Thus, the experience of auspicious Pudgalas or Pudgalas in the form of external substances, or the experience of the Pudgala-parinama, which is the result of the consumption of divine fruits, etc., or the experience of the result of Pudgalas, which is naturally experienced in the form of the arrival of a stream of water, etc., is the experience of the fruit of high Gotra-karma. These are the causes of the rise of high Gotra-karma due to external causes. In the spontaneous rise of high Gotra-karma, the rise of Pudgalas of high Gotra-karma is the cause. 1.
