Can a self-cultivated ascetic, O Lord! jump over (once) or leap across (again and again) the Vaibhāra Mountain without appropriating the external material clusters'? "O Gautama! This is not possible.”
Bhāsya 1. External material clusters
In the present dialogue, the external material clusters stands for what is appropriate for the protean body. The acts like jumping over the Vaibhāra Mountain is possible only by protean body. It is for this reason that "external material clusters" have been mentioned here to indicate the clusters that are appropriated for the formation of protean body.
