Bhagavai 5:2:31-47
~: 203:~
(2) The motion of the secondary body-the basic body of the air-bodied beings is gross. The air-bodied beings possess also the protean body as a secondary body. When the winds blow with their protean body that is called secondary action."
(3) Motion on account of agitation-this motion is affected by the Vayukumāra gods and Vayukumārī goddesses, who belong to Mansion gods.
The Vitti mentions the text approved by a different synod, according to which, the stormy winds have no normal motion, which is possible only in the other three varieties of winds. There is no subsequent action motion in the slow winds, which is possible only in the other three varieties of winds. The motion on account of agitation is possible in all varieties of winds."
The availability of protean body in the air-bodied beings has been accepted." Protean-body means the body which can create multiple forms. The air-bodied beings are however not capable of creating multi-fold forms by it. They are capable of undertaking multi-fold motions.
