425 [3]. The translocation-bodies are to be spoken of just as in the case of the hell-beings.
425 [4). The fiery and karmic bodies are to be spoken of just as in the case of their transformation-bodies.
426 [1]. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the gross bodies of Vemaniyas stated to be ? They are, Goyama, to be spoken of just as in the case of the hell-beings.
426 [2]. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the transformationbodies of Vemani yas stated to be ? They are, Goyama, stated to be twofold, viz.
(1) bound with the souls; and
(2) abandoned by the souls. Of them, what are bound with the souls are innumerable, (because if stocked in a store and taken out one at each time-instant) they are taken out in a (period of time which is (spread over) innumerable ussap binis and osappiņis; in respect of space, (the bound bodies occupy the space-points covered by) innumerable sedhis (or) an innumerablth part of payara. The spread-number (vikkhambhasūt) of those sedhis is (to be calculated as follows): (a) the second square root of the space-points of payara of) one amgula multiplied by its third spuare root, or (b) the cube of the third square root of the space-points of payara of) one amgula.
What are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the gross bodies in general.
426 [3]. The translocation-bodies are just as in the case of the hell-beings.
426 [47. The fiery and karmic bodies are to be spoken of just as in the case of their transformation-bodies.
This is the conceptual (number indicated by standard) through the simile of emptying the space-points of a store. This is (the number indicated by standard) through the simile of emptying the space-points of a sto re. 4 This is the number indicated by standard) through the simile of a store,6 This is the standard of measurement of time)
1. Vide supra, footnote on payara in sutta No. 418 [2]. 2. The value of both these calculation is the same. The value according to
(a) is x1/4 x x 1/8 = x 3/8; the value according to (b) is ( x118 )3 = x 3/8. 3. Vide supra, sutla No. 396. 4. Vide supra, sutta No. 392. 5. Vide supra, sutta No. 369.
