## Translation:
**[240]** The *Prajñāpanā Sūtra* does not explain in the fourth *uddesaka* how a *leśyā* transforms into another *leśyā*. The six *leśyā*s are described separately in terms of their color, smell, taste, and touch. Subsequently, the number of results, regions, entry into regions, classifications, and locations of the *leśyā*s starting with *kṛṣṇa* are described. Finally, a detailed description of the locations of the *leśyā*s starting with *kṛṣṇa* is given from the perspective of inferior, superior, and medium, in terms of substance, region, and the combination of substance and region, as well as in terms of their relative abundance. At the beginning of the fifth *uddesaka*, the authority of the results from the fourth *uddesaka* is reiterated. After that, it is stated that a particular *leśyā* does not transform into another *leśyā* or into its color, etc. The commentator, in resolving this apparent contradiction, states that the transformation of one *leśyā* into another, as described in the fourth *uddesaka*, should be understood in relation to *tiryancas* and humans, while the prohibition of one *leśyā* transforming into another, as described in the fifth *uddesaka*, should be understood in relation to gods and hell beings. The sixth *uddesaka* discusses the *leśyā*s of humans and women living in various regions, including *Bharata* and others. Subsequently, it is stated that there is no rule that the *leśyā* of the offspring should be the same as that of the father and mother. The *leśyā*s of the father and offspring or the mother and offspring can be either the same or different.
This extensive discussion of *leśyā*s, divided into six *uddesaka*s, does not include the detailed discussion of the *adhyavasaya*s of beings with different *leśyā*s, their characteristics, positions, movements, and culminations, as found in the *Uttarādhyayana* and other *āgama* texts. Nor does it include the description of the two aspects of *leśyā* - substance and feeling - as found in the *Bhagawatisūtra* and other texts. There is also some repetition in the descriptions.
