6 (653b) A group of gods are called Jambhayas because they are always joyful and fond of amorous plays. He who sees them in anger will contract great disgrace (ajasa ‘misfortune', Abhay.), he who sees them happy will obtain great fame (jasa 'good fortune', Abhay.). There are ten kinds of Jambhaya gods (names). They live on the Long Veyaddha Mountains, the mountains Citta and Vicitta, the Twin (Jamaga) Mountains and the Gold Mountains. Their duration (thii) is one paliovama. * *
The Jambhayas (Irmbhaka, cf. vijrmbhate 'to feel well') belong to the Vyantara class of gods.Read je nam te deve ... se nam ... instead of jam nam ....-For the mountains mentioned in the text see Lehre par. 124 and KIRFEL, Kosmographie p. 235.
9. AŅAGĀRA.
1 (655a) A monk, [even] if he has cultivated his spiritual activities (a ņ a gāra bhāviy'appā), cannot discern (na jāņai na pāsai) his own karmic lessā (kamma-lessā) [separately); he only discerns his [own] soul so far as it is concrete (lit. endowed with a form, i. e. a body) and endowed with a karmic lessā (tam puna jīvam sarūvim sakamma-lessam j. p.). Concrete particles endowed with a karmic lessä (sarūvī sakamma-lessā poggalā) [indeed] radiate (obhāsanti 4) like the light (lessão plur.) emanating from the abodes (vimāna) of the Sun and the Moon.
2 (655b) The particles (poggala) of H are wholly unpleasant, those of G are wholly pleasant (five dandakas with the synonyms atta, istha, kanta, piya and manunna). Those of AM are partly pleasant and partly unpleasant.
atta = āpta in the sense of ramaniya, Abhay.'s second explanation. 3 (656a) A mighty (mah’iddhiya) god who has magically entered (viuvvittā) a thousand forms may also speak the thousand corresponding languages (bhāsā). Doing so, however, he has only one speech (egā ņam sā bhāsā, no khalu tam bhāsā-sahassam).
4 (656a) Having seen the morning-sun red like a cluster of China roses (jāsumaņā-kusuma) Goy. questions Mv. about the sun, its essence (sūriyassa attha) and its shining appearance
