[The ninth [देहो नापचयकृतः पुण्योत्कर्ष इव तिमत्त्वात् ।
मवेद् वा स हीनतरकः कथामशुभतरा महाश्व ? ॥३८५॥ (१९३३) Deho nāpacayakṣitaḥ punyotakarsa iva mūrtimattvät Bhaved vā sa hinatarakah kathamaśubhataro mahānsca ? 1138511
Trans.-385 Since body is corporeal, like the abundant punya karmas, it is not produced by (means of) diminution (of punya karmasi. Or, if it is so, it should be small. (For) how is a huge and (at the same time) splendid (body available)? (1933)
टीका-दुःखितहस्त्यादिदेहः केबलपुण्यापयमात्रकृतो न भवति, मूर्तिमत्त्वात्, यथा पुण्योत्कर्षे तज्जन्योऽनुत्तरसुर-चक्रवादिदेहः, यश्च पुण्यापचयमात्रजन्यः स मर्तिमानपि न भवति, यथा न कोऽपि, यदि च पुण्यापचयमात्रेण देहो जन्यत, तदा हीनतरः शुम एव च स्यात्, कथं महान्, अशुभतरश्च भवेत्, महतो महापुण्योपचयजन्यखात्, अशुभस्य चाशुभकर्मनिवर्त्यत्षात् ? | पुण्येन पुनरणीयसापि शुभ एव देहो जन्येत, न तु दुःखितः। अणोयसापि हि सुवर्णलवेनाणीयानपि सौवर्ण एव घटो भवति न तु मार्तिकः, ताभ्रादिति ॥ ३८६ ।। ( १९३३ )
D. C.- Since the bodies of anuttara gods including the Supreme Ruler of the World are miirta, they are not produced by the diminution of punya karmas In the same way, bodies like that of a miserable elephant, etc are also not produced by the dimimution of punya kar nas only as they are mirta. Por, that which has been produced by the dininution can never be mirta.
Still however, if a body is ever produced by diminution of punyas, it must be exquisitely feeble and auspicious. Because a body which is huge and at the same time auspicious, is produced by the accumulation of punyas, while that which is huge but in-auspicious is produced by the accumulation of påpas. Hence, a body produced even by a small quantity of punyas must necessarily be happy and never unhappy. Just
