Trans.--385 Since body is corporeal like the abundant punya karmas, it is not produced by ( means of ) diminution ( of punya karmas ). Or, if it is so, it should be small. ( For) how is a huge and (at the same time ) splendid ( body available ) ? ( 1933 )

C.-Since the bodies of anuttarra gods including the Supreme Ruler of the World are mūrta, 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 karmas only as they are mūrta. For, that which has been produced by the diminution can never be murta.
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 pāpas. Hence, a body produced even by a small quantity of punyas must necessarily be happy and never un happy. Just
