[226] [Prajñāpanā Sūtra [3] Gautama! Jyotiṣka Devas are said to be of two types. Namely, Māyī Mithyāṣṭi Uppaṇṇaka and Amāyī Samyagdṛṣṭi Uppaṇṇaka / Of these, those who are Māyī Mithyāṣṭi Uppaṇṇaka, they experience Anidā Vedana and those who are Amāyī Samyagdṛṣṭi Uppaṇṇaka, they experience Nidā Vedana. For this reason, O Gautama! It is said that Jyotiṣka Devas are of two types, that they experience Vedana, etc. / 2084. And in the case of Vaimānika Devas, it should be said in the same way. Explanation - Nidā and Anidā: Nature and Authority - That in which the mind is fully engaged, which is well-attended to, is called Nidā, that which is completely different from this, i.e. - towards which the mind is not at all, is called Anidā Vedana. Those sentient beings who have died and become Narakas, they are called Saṁjñībhūta Narakas and those who are non-sentient beings who have died and become Narakas, they are called Asaṁjñī Narakas. Of these, Saṁjñībhūta Narakas experience Nidā Vedana and Asaṁjñībhūta Narakas experience Anidā Vedana. Similarly, the statement is made for Pañcendriya Tiryāñca, Manushya and Vāṇavyantara Devas / Among Jyotiṣka Devas, those who are Māyī Mithyāṣṭi, they experience Anidā Vedana and those who are Amāyī Samyagdṛṣṭi, they experience Nidā Vedana / From Pṛthvīkāyika to Chaturindriya, all experience Anidā Vedana, not Nidā Vedana, because being non-sentient, they do not have a mind, for this reason, they experience only Anidā Vedana / Non-sentient beings do not remember the good and bad karmas done in their previous births or the hatred etc. The fact is that only the karmas done with intense determination are remembered, but in the previous Asaṁjñībhavam, the determination of Pṛthvīkāyika etc. was not intense, because they were devoid of Dravyaman. For this reason, Asaṁjñī Narakas do not have a skillful mind to remember the subjects related to the previous birth, while Saṁjñī Narakas remember the karmas or hatred-opposition related to the previous birth. For this reason, they experience Nidā Vedana. All Pṛthvīkāyika etc. beings, being non-sentient, experience Anidā Vedana, which is devoid of discrimination.
