psychic centres responsible for extra-sensory perception, sometimes with the centres of different sensations. (iii) Sensation Asked Gautama, "O Lord, do the earth-bodied beings feel pleasure and pain through their senses (karanas) or without them''? Said the Lord, they enjoy sensations through senses that are auspicious or inauspicious and not without any sense. Asked Gautama, "O Lord! The non-rational beings like the carth-bodied are blind, deluded, immersed in darkness and subject to non-rational sensations. Is it true?". "O Gaulama", said the Lord, it is true indeed."" (iv) Volume of the body Asked Gautama, "O Lord! how big is the volume of the body of the earthbodied beings?'. "O Gautama'', said the Lord “If a young spouse to the paramount sovereign, with steady forepart of the arm and abdominal might, takes up a lump of earth-bodied beings, puts it on a sharp piece of rock and grinds il with a sharp pestle of stone, as hard as diamond, as many as twenty-one times, even then only a few of the earth-bodied beings are ground and others are not, only a few are hurt and others are not, only a few are tortured and others are not, only a few are louched and others are not. So subtle and superfine is indeed the volume of the body of carth-bodied beings?' (v) Visibility The earth-bodied organisms have very subtle bodies and therefore the bodies of one, Iwo or more such beings are not visible but we are able to see only a big lump of innumerable such beings huddled together." (vi) Enjoyment Gautama: "Do the carth bodicd beings have sexual urge or sensuous feeling?" Lord: "They have no sexual desire, but they have tactile enjoyment of
Sex.':18
(vii) Inilow, etc. Asked Gautama, "Is it true that sometimes the earth-bodied beings are subject to massive inflow, massive urgc, massive experience and massive falling off of karma and sometimes they are subject to mcagre inflow, meagre urge, meagre experience and meagre falling off of karma?” Said the Lord, "O Gautama! This is true."""" a 451 37067 - FFAEZT, 2002 C
