[Twenty-eighth Dietary Section] In the twenty-four Dandas, the first illustrated dietary gate 1794. [1] "O Venerable One! Are the Nairyikas *saccittaharis*, *acittaharis*, or *misraharis*?" "Gautama! The Nairyikas are not *saccittaharis* nor *misraharis* (both *saccitta* and *acitta* eaters), but they are *acittaharis*." [1764-1] "Venerable One! Are the Nairyikas *saccittaharis*, *acittaharis*, or *misraharis*?" [1794-1] "Gautama! The Nairyikas are not *saccittaharis* nor *misraharis* (both *saccitta* and *acitta* eaters), but they are *acittaharis*." [2] "And so it is with the Asurakumaras up to the Vaimanikas." [1764-2] "And so it is with the Asurakumaras up to the Vaimanikas." [3] "The Audarikashariras up to the humans are both *saccittaharis*, *acittaharis*, and *misraharis*." [1764-3] "The Audarikashariras up to the humans are both *saccittaharis*, *acittaharis*, and *misraharis*." Discussion - *Saccittaharis*, *acittaharis*, or *misraharis*? - All worldly beings are divided into two parts in relation to the body that sustains them in the cycle of births and deaths - (1) Vaikriyasariras and (2) Audarikashariras. / The Vaikriya-bodied beings, who are the hellish beings, gods, etc., consume the pudgalas that are suitable for nourishing the Vaikriya body, and those pudgalas are only *acitta*, not *saccitta* (possessed by a soul) or mixed. Therefore, in the present context, the Nairyikas, the Asurakumaras, etc., the Bhavanapatidevas, the Vanabyantardevas, the Jyotishkas, and the Vaimanika Devas (who are Vaikriyasariras) are described as exclusively *acittaharis*. And in addition to these, the one-sensed to five-sensed Tiryanchas and humans, who are Audarikashariras, consume the pudgalas that are suitable for nourishing the Audarikasharira, which are of all three types. Therefore, they are described as *saccittaharis*, *acittaharis*, and *misraharis*. / In the Nairyikas, the desire for food, etc., from the second to the eighth gate, 1765. "O Venerable One! Are the Nairyikas *aahararthis* (desiring food)?" "Yes, Gautama! They are *aahararthis*." [1765] "O Venerable One! Are the Nairyikas *aahararthis* (desiring food)?" [1795] "Yes, Gautama! They are *aahararthis*." / 1796. "O Venerable One! When does the desire for food arise in them?" "Gautama! There are two types of food desires in the Nairyikas, namely *abhoganivritti* and *anabhoganivritti*. / Now, those who have *anabhoganivritti* have the desire for food arise without any delay. / Now, those who have *abhoganivritti* have the desire for food arise after an immeasurable period of time, at the end of a *muhurta*." / 1.
