Bhagavai 6:9:163-166 The Topic of Exercise of Protean Power by Gods (Devas) of Great Fortune Is a god who is endowed with great fortune ...... (see 3.47) up to great power, O Lord! capable of creating a protean body of one particular colour and one particular form, through exercising his protean power without appropriating the external material clusters? Gautama! this is not possible. 6.164 deve nam bhamte! bāhirae poggale pariyäittā pabhū egavannam egarūvam
viuvvittae? hamtā pabhū.. Is the god, O Lord! capable of creating a material body of one particular colour and one particular form, exercising his protean power, by appropriating the external material clusters?
Yes, he is capable. 6.165 se nam bhamte.! kim ihagae poggale pariyāittā viuvvati? tatthague poggale
pariyāittă viuvvati? annagatthagae poggale pariyāittā viuvvati? goyamā! no ihagae poggale pariyāittā viuvvati, tatthagae poggale pariyāittā viuvvati, no annagatthagae poggale pariyāittä viuvvati. evam eenam gamenam jāva l. egavannam, egarūvam 2. egavannam anegarūvam 3. anegavannam egarūvam 4. anegavannam anegarūvam--caubhamgo. Does, he, O Lord! creates the protean body through exercising his protean power by appropriating the external material clusters pervading this world i.e., the region where the propounder is present (human world), or pervading that world i.e., the region where the god is present (world of gods) or of any place other than these two? Gautama! he exercises his protean power not by appropriating the material clusters of this world, he exercises his protean power by appropriating the material clusters of that world, and he exercises his protean power not by appropriating the material clusters of any other place. The same paradigm is applicable to the four alternatives, viz., (i) one colour, one form (ii) one colour, many forms (iii) many colours, one form (iv) many
colours, many forms. 6.166 deve nam bhamte! mahiddhie jāva mahānubhāge bähirae poggale apariyāittā
pabhū kālagam poggalam nilagapoggalattāe parināmettae? nilagam poggalam vā kālagapoggalattāe pariņāmettae? goyamā! no inatthe samatthe. pariyāittā pabhū. Is a god who is endowed with capability of transforming a black colour into a blue colour, or vice versa, without appropriating the external material clusters? Gautama! this is not possible. However, he is able to do so by appropriating the external material clusters.
