[104] [The Prajñāpanā Sūtra has spoken about the bodies, in the same way (here, about the liberated Audārika bodies of the Nairyāyikas) it should be said. [2] "Reverend Sir! How many are the Vaikriya bodies of the Nairyāyikas?" "Gautama! They are said to be of two kinds. They are as follows: bound and liberated. / Among them, those that are bound (Vaikriya bodies) are innumerable. Time-wise: (they) are lost in innumerable Utsarpini-Avasarpini kalpas. Region-wise: (they) are innumerable in number of series. / (Series) are the innumerable parts of the Pratara. The diameter of those series (a regional series in terms of extent) is as much as the first square root of an angula multiplied by the second square root (the amount produced by doing so) or as much as the cube of the second square root of an angula. / And those (Nairyāyika) liberated Vaikriya bodies are like the liberated Audārika body of the Naraka (Su. 611 [1]), so it should be said. [3] "Reverend Sir! How many are the Āhārak bodies of the Nairyāyikas?" "Gautama! They are said to be of two kinds. They are as follows: bound and liberated. / Just as the Audārika bodies of the Naraka are said to be bound and liberated (Su. 611 [1]), so it should be said about the Āhārak bodies (of the Nairyāyikas). [4] The Taijasa-Karmāṇa bodies (of the Naraka) should be said to be like these Vaikriya bodies. Discussion: The description of the five bound and liberated bodies of the Nairyāyikas - This Sūtra (Su. 611-1 to 4) describes the size of the five bound and liberated bodies of the Nairyāyikas. Description of the bound and liberated Audārika bodies of the Nairyāyikas - There are no bound Audārika bodies of the Nairyāyikas, because an Audārika body is not possible for them from birth. Their liberated Audārika bodies should be understood to be the same as the previously mentioned liberated Audārika bodies.
