Bhagavai 5:7:182-190
-: 299:
injury to the six classes of beings, so they are possessed of the urge to commit injury. In the Thānam, three kinds of possessions are mentioned: body, karma and material possession.
In the present dialogue, all the three kinds of possessions viz., possesiveness of bodies, the Karma and the animate, inanimate and mixed substances are mentioned. The infernal being has all the three kinds of possessions, so he is possessed of the urge of possessiveness. In the Thānam, however, the infernals and one-sensed beings have been described as devoid of the third kind of possession.'
In the present dialogue, the third kind of possession has been divided into two parts—[1] house, seat, bed, utensils etc. [2] animate, inanimate and mixed substances appropriate for being taken as food. The infernal soul utilizes the possession of animate, inanimate and mixed substances, but he has no house, woman, seat, bed etc. For gods, both the types of possessions-abode, seat, bed etc. and animate, inanimate and mixed substances-have been mentioned. See sūtras 184-185.
The one-sensed beings are to be described like the infernals, see sūtra 186.
In the case of infernals and one-sensed beings, the Thānam also accepts that they have the possession of animate, inanimate and mixed substances.? So there is no contradiction between the present dialogue and the Thānam. The two-sensed beings store external objects. They built their own habitat of soil.' So their descriptions are unlike the one-sensed beings.
