## Seventeenth Leshya Chapter: First Objective
[249 1133. [1] Thus, regarding the Leshya, ask. There, those who are of the good color are of the impure color. There, those who are of the bad color are of the pure color. Therefore, this is the way it is! Thus, the Asura Kumaras are not of the same color. / [1133-1 Pr.] O Bhagavan! Are all Asura Kumaras of the same color and the same Leshya? 1133-1 U.] Gautama! (As previously stated) among the two types of Asura Kumaras, those who are born earlier are of the more impure color, and those who are born later are of the purer color. Therefore, O Gautama! It is said that all Asura Kumaras are not of the same color. [2] Thus, regarding the Leshya. [1133-2] In the same way, regarding the Leshya (it should be said / ) 1134. Regarding the pain, like the Narayikas (Su. 1128) / [1134] (Regarding the Asura Kumaras) regarding the pain, (as stated in Su. 1128) like the Narayikas (regarding the description of their pain). 1135. The rest, like the Nairyikas (Su. 1129-30) / [1135] Regarding the actions and lifespan of the Asura Kumaras, the rest of the description (mentioned in Su. 1129-1130) should be understood as being like the Nairyikas (regarding the description of their actions and lifespan). 1136. Thus, up to the Thanik Kumaras. [1136] In the same way (like the description of the food etc. of the Asura Kumaras, from the Naga Kumaras) up to the Stanit Kumaras (the description should be understood).
The discussion regarding the Asura Kumaras etc. and the Bhavanapatis has been presented in six Sutras (Su. 1131 to 1136) regarding the food etc. of the Asura Kumaras etc. and the ten types of Bhavanapati Devas through the seven doors. The Asura Kumaras etc. have a large body and a small body. The largest body of the Asura Kumaras is seven hands long. This is the measure in comparison to the Bhavadharani body. Their small body should be understood as being an immeasurable fraction of an angula. In comparison to the Uttarvaikriya, their large body is one lakh yojanas long, and their small body is an immeasurable fraction of an angula. Thus, the Asura Kumaras who have a larger body in comparison to the Bhavadharani body, consume more pudgalas as food, and those who have a smaller body, consume fewer pudgalas as food. / Regarding the karma of the Asura Kumaras etc. who are born earlier and later, it is the opposite of the Narakas. It was said regarding the Narakas that the Narakas who are born earlier have less karma, and the Narakas who are born later have more karma. But the Asura Kumaras who are born earlier have more karma, and those who are born later have less karma.
