[654] In the Chakkhandagama, the Veyanakhand (chapter on the nature of experience)
[4, 2, 13, 4] The association with the place of experience is of two types: inferior association with the place of experience and superior association with the place of experience. || 3 ||
The inferior association with the place of experience is described as "thappa" (temporary). || 4 ||
The superior association with the place of experience is of four types: by substance, by field, by time, and by state. || 5 ||
For a being whose experience of the knowledge-obscuring karma is superior in terms of substance, is it superior or inferior in terms of field? || 6 ||
It is inferior in terms of field, being inferior by countless qualities. || 7 ||
For that being, is it superior or inferior in terms of time? || 8 ||
It is both superior and inferior in terms of time. || 9 ||
It is inferior to the superior by one time period. || 10 ||
For that being, is it superior or inferior in terms of state? || 11 ||
It is both superior and inferior in terms of state. || 12 ||
It is inferior to the superior by falling into the six places of experience. || 13 ||
If a two-bodied being, a hell-being, binds an excellent portion with an excellent perception, with an excellent affliction, then it experiences an excellent state of experience. But if there is no such excellent perception, then by rule, it experiences an inferior state of experience.
This inferior state of experience falls into these six types of losses.
