204] [From the Prajñāpanā [2038 u.] Gautama! Their food is both ābhoga-nirvartita and anābhoga-nirvartita. 2036. And from the Asurakumāras up to the Vaimānikas (it should be said /) the special thing is that the food of the ekaindriya jīvas is not ābhoga-nirvartita, but anābhoga-nirvartita. Discussion - The nature of ābhoga-nirvartita and anābhoga-nirvartita - Although the two types of food have been discussed in the Āhāra-pada (28th pada) and this discussion about food should have been in the same pada, but the discussion of ābhoga-anābhoga-nirvartita has been done to explain the process before the paricāraṇā. The Vāttikāra Ācārya Malayagiri has called the food taken with manas-praṇidhāna as ābhoga-nirvartita. Therefore, when the Nārakas etc. take food with full concentration, then it is ābhoga-nirvartita, and when they take food without full concentration, then they take anābhoga-nirvartita food, i.e. lomāhāra. The ekaindriya jīvas have very little and dull manodravya-labdhi, therefore, due to the lack of full concentration, their food is not ābhoga-nirvartita. ' Tṛtīya Pudgalajñāna-dvāra 2040.

Do the Nairyik Jin pudgalas, who take them as food, know them, see them and eat them, or do they not know, not see, but eat them? [2040 u.] Gautama! They neither know nor see, but they eat them / 2041. Evam jāv teindriyā. [2041] Similarly (from Asurakumāra etc.) up to triindriya (it should be said). 2042. Caridiyāṇam puccha. Goyamā!
