[288] [Prajñāpanasūtra] From what leśyā is a being born, from that same leśyā does it arise? Just as this question has been asked about the Asurakumāras, so too should it be understood here. [1210-1 U.] Yes, Gautama! A being born as a Pṛthvīkāyika with a kṛṣṇaleśyā or a tejo-leśyā, (respectively) is born among Pṛthvīkāyikas with a kṛṣṇaleśyā or a tejo-leśyā, (but a Pṛthvīkāyika born with a kṛṣṇaleśyā) may arise with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, may arise with a nīlaleśyā, and may arise with a kāpota-leśyā, or may arise with the same leśyā with which it was born. (Specifically, it) is born with a tejo-leśyā, but does not arise with a tejo-leśyā. [2] And in the same way, it should be said about the Apkāyikas and the Vanaspatikāyikas. [1210-2] [3] Sir, does a Tejas-kāyika with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, a nīlaleśyā, or a kāpota-leśyā, (respectively) arise among Tejas-kāyikas with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, a nīlaleśyā, or a kāpota-leśyā? Does it arise with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, a nīlaleśyā, or a kāpota-leśyā? Does it arise with the same leśyā with which it was born? [1210-3 Pr.] Yes, Gautama! A Tejas-kāyika with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, a nīlaleśyā, or a kāpota-leśyā, (respectively) is born among Tejas-kāyikas with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, a nīlaleśyā, or a kāpota-leśyā, but may arise with a kṛṣṇaleśyā, may arise with a nīlaleśyā, may arise with a kāpota-leśyā. (That is) it may arise with the same leśyā with which it was born, (or it may arise with a different leśyā). [4] And in the same way, it should be said about the Vāyukāyikas, the Dwīndriya, the Trīndriya, and the Caturindriya beings. [1210-4] [1211] Sir, does a being with a kṛṣṇaleśyā or a śuklaleśyā, (respectively) arise among the Pañcendriya-tirikṣajōṇis with a kṛṣṇaleśyā or a śuklaleśyā? Question.
