Chapter on the Group of Sixfold Categories
[5, 3, 121
This is the characteristic of the common [sāhārana] [121]
The common food and the common inhalation-exhalation are the characteristics of the common beings. [122]
The meaning is that in the same body, the infinite beings, in which the food of all is taken by one being, and the inhalation-exhalation of all is taken by one being, are called common plant-bodied beings.
The appropriation of one being, that is, the appropriation of the pudgala atoms for the production of the perfections, is the appropriation of many common beings, and it is also the appropriation of this one being, and the appropriation of many is the appropriation of this intended being, and also of every other being. [123]
The birth of the body of the infinite beings born in succession in the same nigoda body is simultaneous, the appropriation is simultaneous, and the inhalation-exhalation is also simultaneous. [124]
Where one being dies, there is the death of infinite beings, and where one being is born, there is the birth of infinite beings. [125]
The badara nigoda being and the subtle nigoda being are bound and touch each other. And they (badara) are infinite beings, due to the root, the stem, and the moistness, etc. [126]
There are infinite beings who have not attained the trasas paryayas in the past. They do not abandon the nigoda dwelling due to the abundance of extreme defilements. [127]
