卐 the feeling of aversion. The three said activities-kaayiki kriya (physical activity), aadhikaraniki kriya (activity of collecting instruments of violence) and praadveshiki kriya (activity of harbouring aversion)—are 477 closely connected. In paaritapaniki kriya (activity of inflicting pain), pranatipatiki (activity of killing) there is a scope of alternatives. Involvement in these two activities, paaritapaniki kriya (activity of inflicting pain), pranatipatiki (activity of killing), takes place one after the other only when a being causes pain to or kills another being. Thus 卐 when a living being causes pain to another living being it gets involved in four activities and when he kills another being he gets involved in five activities. This is because the last two activities necessarily have involvement of first three activities. That is why in the original text it is 卐 mentioned that a being gets involved sometimes in three, sometimes in four or sometimes in five activities. A living being is sometimes nonactive also; this is with regard to the absolutely detached state. (Other than human beings, living beings of twenty-three dandaks or places of suffering are never non-active.)

END OF THE SIXTH LESSON OF THE EIGHTH CHAPTER.
An infernal being in hell is said to be involved in three or four activities in relation to the body with intake (aahaarak sharira) existing in the land of humans. The reason for this is that in absence of renunciation, infernal beings do not completely abandon the bodies of preceding birth. Therefore as long as that body does not disintegrate completely, and even a fraction of the original body exists, it is recognized as the body of that being in context of preceding birth. It is like a pot filled with butter is called pot of butter even after it is emptied. 卐 Thus the infernal being touches the part of that aahaarak sharira of 5 past birth and suffers pain. It is in this context that an infernal being in 卐 hells said to be involved in three or four activities in relation to the body with intake (aahaarak sharira). The same is true for divine and other beings including two-sensed beings. (Vritti, leaf 377; Kriyapad of 卐 Prajnapana Sutra).
