See Introduction $7.
1. LESĀ.
1 (852a) * The six spiritual hues (less ā) and their relative frequency, implicit ref. to Pannav. 3 (see Introduction § 10 under B 38) and ref. to I 2o, itself a ref. to Pannav. 17,2.
2 (852b) a. There are fourteen kinds of beings subjected to samsāra (samsāra-samāvannaga jīva) viz [1-4] fine and coarse [one-sensed] beings both developed and undeveloped, (5-10] A2-4 both developed and undeveloped, and [11-14] developed and undeveloped five-sensed beings devoid of and endowed with consciousness. b. The relative quantity of the comparatively smallest and greatest amounts of activity (jahannaga and ukkosaga joga) of these fourteen kinds of beings.
Cf. Samav. 26b. 3 (854a) Two beings (HAMG) living in the first samaya of their rebirth (padhama-samaóvavannaga) are equally active or not (sama-jogi or visama-j.). This depends on whether the beings [reached their new place of origin without or with a change of direction (vigraha) and consequently, thus Abhay.] have arrived there as āhāraga resp. aņāhāraga beings. If both of them are āhāraga or aņāhāraga, they are [of] equal [activity] (tulla). An anāhāraga being, however, is inferior (hīņa) to [scil. less active than] an ähāraga being [āhāra, attraction of matter for the purpose of reincarnation, being an activity]; in the same way an āhāraga being is superior (abbhahiya) to an anāhāraga being.
