That which is born in special beds (upapada) is 'aupapadika'. Thus, the body that takes birth in special bed must be understood to be the transformable (vaikriyika) body.
अध्याय- २
If the transformable (vaikriyika) body originates in special bed, that body which does not arise from special bed cannot have this attribute of transformableness. This doubt is cleared in the next sūtra.
लब्धिप्रत्ययं च ॥४७॥
वैक्रियिक शरीर [ लब्धिप्रत्ययं च ] लब्धि - नैमित्तिक भी होता है।
Attainment (labdhi) is also the cause (of its origin).
By 'ca' the transformable body is taken over. Labdhi' is attainment of supernatural powers rddhi - by special austerities (tapa). The transformable (vaikriyika) body attained through labdhi' is labdhipratyaya'. Thus, the transformable (vaikriyika) body is also 'labdhipratyaya' - attained through labdhi'.
-
Is that the only kind of body caused by attainment, or is there any other kind also?
तैजसमपि ॥४८॥
[ तैजसम् ] तैजस शरीर [ अपि ] भी लब्धि - नैमित्तिक है।
The luminous (taijasa) body also is caused by attainment (labdhi).
