________________ --421] KINDS OF BODIES AND THEIR POSSESSORS 157 The translocation-bodies are to be spoken of just as in the case of the transformation-bodies of the earth-bodied beings. The fiery and karmic bodies are to be spoken of just as in the case of the earth-bodied beings. 420 [4]. The gross bodies, transformation-bodies and translocation-bodies of the plant-bodied beings are to be spoken of just as in the case of the earth-bodied beings. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the fiery and karmic bodies of the plant-bodied beings? The fiery and karmic bodies of the plant-bodied beings are also, Goyama, to be spoken of just as in the case of the fiery and karmic bodies in general. 421 [1]. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the gross bodies of the two-sensed beings stated to be ? They are, Gotama, 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 ussappiņis and osappinis; in point of space, (the bound bodies occupy the space-points coverd by) innumerable sedhis, (or) an innu. merablth part of payara. The spread-number (vikkhambhasūyi) of these sedhis is innumerable koda kodi of joyaņas which are (equal to the sum) of the innumerable square roots (such as first, second, third,...)' of the sedhi; (according to another calculation) it is obtained by way of emptying a (fully occupied) payara of the gross bodies bound with two-sensed beings. This (process of emptying is done) in a (period of time spreading over innumerable ussappinīs and osappinis (calculated) through space, ( if a space-point which is equal to) an in numerablth part of a payaramgula, (is taken out) in one unit of time, viz. one innumerablth part of an avaliya (from the payara, the number of time-units required is equal to the number of bound gross bodies of the two-sensed beings). What are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the gross bodies in general. 1. Vide supra, footnote on payara in sutta No. 418 [2]. 2. For instance, if one sedhi=x, then the spread-number -x1/2+x1/4 + x 1/8+...
