Q. 439. Bhante! Why do you say that he is a pudgali as well as a pudgala ?
उत्तर ४३९ – गोयमा ! से जहा णामए छत्तेणं छत्ती दंडेणं दंडी घडेणं घडी पडेणं पडी करेणं करी एवामेव गोयमा ! जीवे वि सोइंदियचखिं दिय-से घाणिदियजिव्भिंदिय फासिंदियाइं पडुच्च पोग्गली जीवं पडुच्च पोगले | तेणट्ठेणं गोयमा ! एवं वुच्चइ - जीवे पोग्गलि वि पोग्गले वि ।

A. 439. Gautama! As one with an umbrella ( chatra ) is called a chatri, with a stick (danda) a dandi, with a jar ( ghata) a ghati, with a piece of silk (pata) a pati, with hand (kara) a kari, so a living being with the organs of *" hearing, vision, smell, taste and touch is called a pudgali : but relative to another living being, he is a rudgala. Hence so.
