VII 10
simile: just as delicious food well prepared with the ‘eighteen condiments' to which some medicine has been added (osahamissa) is unfavorable at first sight but proves to be salutary, likewise abstinence from the eighteen sins' etc.
Abhay. quotes two gāhās on the eighteen condiments (vanjana). 6 (326b) Of two equal men (cliché known from I 83) karman, action, karmic influx and perception are stronger with the one that lights a fire-body than with the one that extinguishes it: the first man's deed is more injurious (bahuyarāgam samārambhai) to the bodies of earth, water, wind, plants and animals though less injurious to the fire-body, while with the second man's action the reverse is true. (327a) Also inanimate (acitta) particles of matter may give off light and heat, namely on the place where the fiery lessā emitted (nisattha) by an angry monk falls down.
End of the episode: Kālodāi's monachal career and final liberation, ref. to I 95.
On teya-nisagga see saya XV.
