## Translation:
**Verse 115:**
This verse explains the characteristics of three-sense beings. Creatures like ants, bees, wasps, and scorpions perceive touch, taste, and smell. Therefore, they are called three-sense beings.
The reason for this is that they have experienced the supreme bliss of liberation, which is characterized by pure knowledge, perception, and the nature of the soul. This bliss is like nectar, and it protects them from the suffering caused by the objects of touch, taste, and smell. However, they have still bound themselves to the karma of the three-sense beings, which is dependent on the arising of this karma.
This karma is overcome by the destruction and pacification of the coverings on the senses of touch, taste, and smell. When the coverings on the remaining senses arise, or when the covering on the mind arises, these three-sense beings become mindless. This is the meaning of the verse.
**Verse 116:**
This verse explains the characteristics of four-sense beings. Creatures like flies, mosquitoes, bees, and butterflies perceive touch, taste, smell, and sight. Therefore, they are called four-sense beings.
The reason for this is that they have overcome the coverings on the senses of touch, taste, smell, and sight. When the covering on the sense of hearing arises, or when the covering on the mind arises, these four-sense beings become mindless. This is the meaning of the verse.
