Q.II.41.2
A.II.41.2
Are the luminous and the k rmika bodies associated from the beginningless time? They are related to each other from the beginning-less time, However they have a relationship with a starting point / time with respect to dissociation (nirj ra) and bondage of karmas.
Q.II.41.3

Q.II.42.1 A.II.42.1
What types of living beings have luminous and k rmika bodies? All empirical souls have these two body types.
Q.II.42.2
A.II.42.2
The statement 'with all or sarvasya' mean that all living beings including liberated souls (siddhas) have these two bodies? Siddhas do not have a body and so the question of their having bodies does not arise. Also by definition in A.1 above, the mention was made of all empirical souls only.
Q.II.42.3
A.II.42.3
Do 'emancipated souls with a body' (arihantas) have both these types of bodies and how? The arihantas do have these two types of bodies also as these are associated with the empirical soul from beginning-less time but have an end time for this relationship (as they have gross body and the four nonobscuring (agh ti ) karmas existent with them until they attain liberation (nirv na) or siddha state).
