[Twentieth Interaction] (Earth-bodied beings, like the two-sense beings, cannot interact when born as humans; but) they can attain the knowledge of the mind-categories / 1436. [1] Similarly, three-sense and four-sense beings can attain the knowledge of the mind-categories. [1436-1] [2] "O Gautama! If one attains the knowledge of the mind-categories (when born as a human with a disability), can he attain the knowledge of the omniscient?" "O Gautama! This is not a valid argument." / 1437. [1] "O Bhagavan! Does one born directly into hell from among the five-sense beings and the five-sense non-human beings?" "O Gautama! Some (of the five-sense non-human beings) are born (in hell) and some are not." [1437-1] [2] "O Bhagavan! If one is born (in hell) from among the five-sense beings and the five-sense non-human beings, does he attain the hearing of the omniscient-declared dharma?" "O Gautama! Some attain it and some do not." [1437-2] [3] "O Bhagavan! If one attains the hearing of the omniscient-declared dharma, does he understand the omniscient-knowledge (the omniscient-declared dharma)?" "O Gautama! Some understand the meaning of the omniscient-knowledge (and) some do not." [1437-3] [4] "O Bhagavan! If one understands the omniscient-knowledge, does he attain liberation, attain the state of liberation, and become liberated?" "Yes, O Gautama! He becomes liberated." / 1. Here, the word 'jav' indicates 'attain liberation, attain the state of liberation'.
