**Knowledge-Declaration Sutra (Prajñāpanāsūtra) and the Three Maya-Pratyayas**
* Among those who are unrestrained (asanyata), four actions are found: 1. Prārabhikī, 2. Pārigṛhikī, 3. Māyā-Pratyayā, and 4. Apratyākhyāna-kriyā.
* However, those who are of false-view (mithyādṛṣṭi) or partially-false-view (samyamithyādṛṣṭi) definitely have all five actions: 1. Prārabhikī, 2. Pārigṛhikī, 3. Māyā-Pratyayā, 4. Apratyākhyāna-kriyā, and 5. Mithyādarsana-Pratyayā.
* The remaining (of lifespan) should be understood in the same way as it has been described for the hell-beings.
**Discussion**
* **Human Beings and the Seven Doors:** The seven doors of intake, etc., in humans are described in the present Sutra (1142).
* **The Great Body (Mahāśarīra) of Humans:** Generally, humans with a great body consume a lot of matter (pudgala) as food and exhale it as breath. However, humans with a composite great body, like the Devas and Kurus, rarely consume food. Their food comes from the eighth meal (aṣṭama-bhakta), meaning they eat every three days. They also breathe infrequently because they are extremely happy compared to other humans.
* **The Small Body (Alpaśarīra) of Humans:** Humans with a small body eat frequently because they are small. Children, who have a small body, are seen to eat frequently in small amounts. Continuous eating is possible for those with a small body who are in a state of deep sleep (sammūcchima). Humans with a small body also breathe frequently because they experience a lot of suffering.
* **Humans Born Before (Pūrvotpanna):** Humans who are born before have pure complexion, etc., due to their youth.
* **The Nature of Restrained with Attachment (Sarāga-samyata) and Restrained without Attachment (Vītarāga-samyata):** Those whose passions (kaṣāya) have not been subdued or destroyed but who are restrained are called restrained with attachment. However, those whose passions have been completely subdued or destroyed are called restrained without attachment.
* **Restrained without Attachment:** Due to their lack of attachment, restrained without attachment do not perform any actions like Prārabhikī, etc.
* **Restrained with Attachment:** Those who are restrained without negligence (apramatta) perform only the Māyā-Pratyayā action, and even then, only the Sanjvalana-Māyā-Pratyayā action. This is because they are sometimes motivated to remove the slander of the Dharma-Sangha (religious community) and protect the teachings. Their passions are not completely destroyed.
* **Restrained with Negligence:** Those who are restrained with negligence (pramatta) are motivated by negligence (pramāda) to perform the Prārabhikī action. Therefore, the Prārabhikī action is possible for them. Since their passions are not completely destroyed, the Māyā-Pratyayā action should also be understood to be present in them.
* **The rest of the description is clear.**
**The Intake, etc., of the Inhabitants of the Inter-Worlds (Vāṇavyantara), the Luminaries (Jyotiṣka), and the Aerial Beings (Vaimānika)**
* **Sutra 1143:** The inhabitants of the inter-worlds, like the Asura-Kumāras (Sutra 1131-35), eat the eighth meal (aṣṭama-bhakta).
* **1. "Aṭṭhama-bhakta-ssa āhāro" (The food is the eighth meal).**
* **2. Prajñāpanāsūtra, Malay. Vṛtti, Folio 340-341.**
