[First Pragyapana Pada] All these plants are endowed with infinite life-units (anantajivātmaka); however, in the case of tuber plants, there is a choice (vikalpana), (i.e., some tuber plants are endowed with infinite life-units and some are endowed with innumerable life-units).
[8] The life-unit born in the seed is the same as the one (in the seed), or it may be another (life-unit). Whatever life-unit is present in the root, the same (life-unit) is also present in the first leaf.
[6] All the sprouts (kisalaya) that emerge are indeed said to be of infinite body (anantakāya). The same (sprout-formed infinite body) that grows becomes either an individual body or an infinite body.
[10] The origination of the body, the grasping of the vital breaths, the inhalation and exhalation all occur at the same time for all (sadhāraṇa) plants. What is the grasping of many, that is also the grasping of one.
[101] The food, the grasping of water and air, and the common characteristics of the common (sadhāraṇa) life-units are like that.
[102] Just as a red-hot iron ball, having become similar to the nature of the fire, is entirely transformed into fire, in the same way, know that the entire (ananta) nigoda life-units are transformed into the nigoda form in a single body.
[103] It is not possible to see the individual bodies of the innumerable nigoda life-units, (but) the bodies of the infinite (ananta) nigoda life-units are visible.
