neraiyāuyam padisamvedei? uvavajjamāne neraiyāuyam padisamvedei? uvavanne neraiyāuyam padisamvedei? goyamā! no ihagae neraiyāuyam padisamvedei, uvavajjamāne neraiyāuyam paisamvedei, uvavanne vi neraiyāuyam paisamvedei. evam jāva vemāniesu. Does the soul, O Lord! who is destined to be born among the infernals, experience the infernal life-span, while it is here in its present life, or when it is "being born' as an infernal, or after being born'? Gautama! it does not experience the infernal life-span, while it is here in its present life, but it experiences, the infernal life-span, when it is being-born', and also 'after being born'. This description holds good ...... up to the dandaka (soul-group) of Empyrean gods.
Bhāsya
1. Sutra 102
Every soul experiences the life-span of the present life in this life; it does not experience the life-span of next life in this life. The stages of being born' and 'after being born' relate to this very life. So one experiences the present life-span, in both stages of being born and after being born'. See-Bhāsya on Bha. 5.57-58.
Text 7.103 jīve nam bhamte! je bhavie neraiesu uvavajjittae, se nam bhamte! kim ihagae mahāvedane? uvavajjamāṇe mahāvedane? uvavanne mahāvedane? goyamā! ihagae siya mahävedane siya appavedane, uvavajjamāne siya mahāvedane siya appavedane, ahe nam uvavanne bhavai tuo pacchā egamtadukkham vedanam vedemti, āhacca sāyam. Does the soul, O Lord! who is destined for being born among the infernals, experience massive pain here in this life, or when it is being born or after being born? Gautama! it experiences massive pain or meagre pain in this life. It experiences massive pain or meagre pain when it is being born, but after
being born, it experiences absolute pain, only sometimes pleasure. 7.104 jīve nam bhamte! je bhavie asurakumāresu uvavajjittae, pucchä.
goyama! ihagae siya mahāvedane siya appavedane, uvavajjan.āne siya
