EARTH-WATER-FIRE-BODIED BEINGS
420. (1) (Q.) Bhante! How many kinds of audarik shariras (gross physical bodies) the Prithvikayıks (earth-bodied beings) are said to have?
A
(Ans.) Gautam! Their audarik shariras (gross physical bodies) are of two kinds-baddh (bound) and mukta (abandoned). The number of these two should be read just as the general statement regarding audarik shariras (gross physical bodies).
(Q.) Bhante! How many kinds of vaikriya shariras (transmutable bodies) the Prithvikayiks (earth-bodied beings) are said to have?
(Ans.) Gautam ! Vaikriya shariras (transmutable bodies) are of two kinds-baddh (bound) and mukta (abandoned). Of these, they do not have baddh (bound) bodies and as regards the number of mukta (abandoned) bodies it should be read just as the general statement regarding audarik shariras (gross physical bodies).
The same is true for their aharak shariras (telemigratory bodies). The details about their baddh and mukta taijas-karman shariras (bound and abandoned fiery and karmic bodies) are also same as their baddh and mukta audarik shariras (bound and abandoned gross physical bodies).
(२) जहा पुढविकाइयाणं एवं आउकाइयाणं तेउकाइयाण य सब्बसरीरा भाणियव्वा ।
(२) जिस प्रकार पृथ्वीकायिकों के पाँच शरीरों का कथन है, वैसे ही अर्थात् उतनी ही संख्या अप्कायिक और तैजस्कायिक जीवों के पाँच शरीरो की जाननी चाहिए।
(2) The details about (five kinds of) bodies of Apkayıks (waterbodied beings) and Tejaskayiks (fire-bodied beings) should be read just as the details about the (five kinds of) bodies of Prithvikayıks (earth-bodied beings).
वायुकायिकों के बद्ध-मुक्त शरीर
(३) वाउकाइयाणं भंते! केवइया ओरालियसरीरा पन्नत्ता ? गो. ! जहा पुढविकाइयाणं ओरालियसरीरा तहा भाणियव्वा ।
