(1) bound with the souls; and (2) abandoned by the souls.
Of them, what are bound with the souls do not exist indeed. Of them, what are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the gross bodies (vide sutta No. 413) in general (without reference to particular kind of living beings).
418 [2]. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the transformation-bodies of hell-beings stated to be? They are, Goyama, stated
to be twofold, viz.
(1) bound with the souls; and
(2) abandoned by the souls.
Of them, what are bound with the souls are innumerable, (because if stocked in a store and taken out one at each instant) they are taken out in a (period of) time which is (spread over) innumerable ussappinis and osappinis. In point of space, (the bound bodies Occupy the space-points covered by) innumerable seḍhts, (or) an innumerablth part of payara,1 the spread-number (vikkhambhasuyt) of those seḍhis is (to be calculated as follows): (i) the first square root of (the space-points of a payara of) one amgula, multiplied by its second square root; or (ii) the cube of the second square root of the (space-points of a payara of) one amgula.2
Of them, what are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the gross bodies in general.
418 [3]. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the translocationbodies of hell-beings stated to be? They are, Goyama, stated to be twofold, viz.
(1) bound with the souls; and (2) abandoned by the souls.
Of them, what are bound with the souls do not exist indeed.

are x in number, the 3/4.
Or (x1/4) 3, that is x3
2. If the space-points of payara = x1/2
x x1/4, that is x3/4.
