The Topic of Minimum Ingestion of Nourishment
At' what samaya, does the soul, O Lord! ingest minimum quantity of nourishment?
Gautama! At its first samaya (the embryo) and the last samaya of its lifespan, the soul ingests the minimum quantity of nourishment. All soul-groups up to the Empyrean gods are to be described similarly.
Bhāṣya
1. Sutra 1
At the first and the last samayas of its life-span, the soul ingests the minimum quantity of nourishment. At the first samaya, the gross-body (the embryo) is not built, so the soul ingests the minimum nourishment. At the last time of its life-span, the soul-units undergo withdrawal, resulting in its occupation of the least number of space-points; so at that samaya, it ingests the least quantity of nourishment. In the intermediate samayas, the soul ingests larger quantity of nourishment.
