[270] In the Earth-bodied beings, the number of those with a low degree of *kṣaya* (passions) is very small, while the number of those with anger, delusion, and greed is very high. The number of those who are not *samvṛta* (covered) is even higher. The same should be understood for other beings with one sense, two senses, etc., and five senses. In humans, the *kṣaya* outburst should be understood as similar to the beings with a low degree of *samvṛta* (covered). However, there is one special thing, that is, the number of humans who are *samvṛta* (covered) due to *kṣaya* outburst is much less than the number of humans who are *samvṛta* (covered) due to *manas* (mind) outburst. Because humans have an abundance of *manas* (mind). In the twenty-four *daṇḍakas* (sections), the *chādmāsthika* outburst is described as follows: 2147. How many *chādmāsthika* outbursts are there, O Lord? [2147 A.] Gautam! There are six *chādmāsthika* outbursts. They are as follows: (1) *vedanā* outburst, (2) *kṣaya* outburst, (3) *māraṇāntika* outburst, (4) *vaikriya* outburst, (5) *taija* outburst, and (6) *āhārak* outburst. [2148 Q.] How many *chādmāsthika* outbursts are there in the *naraka* (hell), O Lord? [2148 A.] Gautam! There are four *chādmāsthika* outbursts in the *naraka* (hell). They are as follows: (1) *vedanā* outburst, (2) *kṣaya* outburst, (3) *māraṇāntika* outburst, and (4) *vaikriya* outburst. [2146 Q.] The same question about the *asurakumāra* (demigods). [2146 A.] Gautam! There are five *chādmāsthika* outbursts in the *asurakumāra* (demigods). They are as follows: (1) *vedanā* outburst, (2) *kṣaya* outburst, (3) *māraṇāntika* outburst, (4) *vaikriya* outburst, and (5) *taija* outburst. 1. (a) *Prajñāpanā* (Commentary).
