When a well-equipped enemy is seen, anger arises (6). Many living beings and even one inanimate object can be the cause of the arising of anger, just as when one sees a charioteer or a person carrying a cannon, anger arises. (7) Many living beings and many inanimate objects can also be the cause of the arising of anger, such as when one sees an enemy army equipped with various weapons and armaments. (8)
Churni Su. - Just as eight types of anger are described with respect to the arising of the passions, similarly, eight types each of pride, deceit, and greed should be understood. 58. Here, one should not have the doubt that inanimate objects can be the cause of the arising of the pride, deceit, and greed. Because the ornaments, vehicles, and houses of a person who is proud due to his form, youth, wealth, etc. are seen as the cause of the arising of pride. Similarly, examples of the arising of deceit and greed should also be understood.
Now, to explain the nature of the 'adesakasaya' (indicative passions), the following sutras are stated.
Churni Su. - The form depicted in the picture is called the 'adesakasaya'. For example, the form of a person with wrinkles on the forehead, a frowning brow, and a distorted face is the 'adesakrodhakaṣāya' (indicative anger passion). The form of a person who does not pay respect to the deities, teachers, scriptures, mother, father, or master, i.e., an arrogant person, is the 'adesamanakaṣāya' (indicative pride passion). The form of a person who is deceitful and crafty is the 'adesamayakaṣāya' (indicative deceit passion). The form of a person who is avaricious, miserly, or greedy, i.e., attached to accumulating wealth and possessions, is the 'adeselohakaṣāya' (indicative greed passion). 59-62
Churni Su. - There should be no doubt that there is a difference between 'adesakasaya' and 'sthapanapasaya'. Because the exposition of the passion in the state of existence is called 'sthapanapasaya', and the perception of the passion is called 'adesakasaya'. Similarly, the depiction of the form of the passion and the non-depiction of the form is called 'sthapanapasaya'. In this way, the distinction between the two passions is clear.
Churni Su. - In this way, the forms depicted or created in woodwork, manuscripts, or sculpture are called the 'adesakasaya'. 63
