no inatthe samatthe. The Topic of Creation of Protean Forms by a Self-cultivated Ascetic
Is it possible for a self-cultivated ascetic, O Lord! to create the form of a voluminous woman, ...... up to without appropriating external material clusters by exercising his protean power?
"No, this is not possible." 3.195 anagăre nam bhamte! bhäviappā bāhirae poggale pariyāittä pabhū egam
maham itthirūvam vā jāva samdamāniyarūvam vā viuvvittae? hamtā pabhū. Is it possible for a self-cultivated ascetic, O Lord! to create the form of voluminous woman ...... up to a palanquin of the length of a human being (see 3.164) by appropriating internal material clusters by exercising his protean power?
"Yes, this is possible.” 3.196 anugāre nam bhamte! bhāviappä kevaiyāim pabhū itthīrūvāim viuvvittue?
goyamā! se jahānāmae--juvatim juvāne hatthenam hatthe genhejjā, cakkassa vā nābhī aragāuttā siyā, evāmeva anagāre vi bhāviappā veuvviyasamugghāenam samohannai jāva pabhū nam goyamā! anagāre nain bhāviappā kevalakappam jarnbūdīvam dīvam bahūhim itthirūvehim āinnam vitikinnam uvatthadam samthadam phudam avagādhāvagādham karettae, esa nam goyamā! anugārassa bhāviappano ayameyārūve visae, visayamette buie, no ceva nam sampattie viuvvimsu vā, viuvvati vā, viuvvissati vā. evam parivādie neyavvam jāva samdamāniyā. How many forms of a woman can a self-cultivated ascetic, O Lord! create. O Gautama! just like the tight clasping of the hand of a maiden by the hand of a youth or like the hub of a wheel of a cart connected with spokes from all sides, the self-cultivated ascetic (3.196) ...... up to can create protean replicas of the woman by his power of protean projection, that are capable of covering, overlaying, pervading, touching and densely filling of the whole of the Island of Jambūdvīpa. This is merely the description of the protean power of the self-cultivated ascetic, though he did never exercise such power of projection
