e case with [according to Abhay.: the units of the souls of] Siddhas.
III. have a beginning and an end (sāiya sapajjavasiya). In this case the junction is called
(1) ālāvaņa-bandha, e.g. with burdens of grass and the like tied with ropes etc.
(2) alliyāvaņa-b., which is of four kinds, namely
(a) lesaņā-b., e.g. in the case of stones joined with mortar and the like
(b) uccaya-b.: e.g. piled-up grass etc. (c) samuccaya-b.: e.g. buildings
(d) sāhanana-b., which is either desa-s.-6. (e.g. vehicles and all kinds of fabricated objects) or savva-s.-b. (e.g. a mixture of milk and water)
(3) sarīra-b., which is puvva-paoga-paccaiya or paduppannaP:-p. (see comm.)
(4) sarīra-ppaoga-bandha,'formation of the body', which is of five kinds in accordance with the five kinds of bodies: see b seqq. below.

b (396b) The discussion starts with the paoga-bandha of the earthly body (specification for the different kinds of beings). Each of these bandhas arises with the appearance (udaya) of the karman of the same name. The junction may be total or partial. Total junction lasts one samaya, while the duration of partial junction varies with the different kinds of beings. Also the
