-570 ] THE DOOR OF DISQUISITION, CALLED NIKKHEVA 201 as substance-potential (namely) other than the body of the knower and the body of the competent person is stated to be threefold, viz.
(1) worldly; (2) belonging to perverse instruction;
(3) extra-worldly. 566. Then what is (aya as substance-potential, which is) worldly ? (Aya as substance-potential, which is) worldly is stated to be threefold, viz.
(a) the sentient; (b) the non-sentient; and
(c) mixture of the sentient and the non-sentient). 567. Then what is the sentient? The sentient is stated to be threefold, viz
(i) (aya or acquisition) of bipeds; (ii) (aya or acquisition) of quadrupeds;
(iii) (aya or acquisition) of non-peds. (Aya) of bipeds (means acquisition) of servants, maid-servants; of quadrupeds (means) acquisition of horses, elephants; of non-peds (means) acquisition of mango trees, hog-plum trees.
This is the sentient.
568. Then what is the non-sentient ? The non-sentient (means) the āya (acquisition) of gold, silver, jewel, pearl, conch-shell, diamond of inferior quality, coral, ruby, (and real property).
This is the non-sentient.
569. Then what is mixture (of the sentient and the non-sentient)? The mixture (of the sentient and the non-sentient) (means) āya (acquisition) of servants, maid-servants, horses, elephants ornamented (with gold chains, etc.) and decorated with (musical instruments like) cymbal (etc.).
This is the mixture (of the sentient and the non-sentient). This is (āja as substance-potential, which is) worldly.
570. Then what is (aya as substance-potential) beloging to perverse instruction ? (Äya as substance-potential) belonging to perverse instruction is stated to be threefold, viz,
(a) the sentient; (b) the non-sentient; and
(c) mixture (of the sentient and the non-sentient). These three are just as (in the case of aya as substance-potential, which is) worldly up to (vide sutta No. 567-569)... This is (aya as substance-potential) belonging to perverse instruction.
