________________ (290) : Chapters on Passions sleep and drowsiness could be taken here as non-experienced ones at this stage (of destroyed passions or destructional ladder). The word 'ca' and part mentioning nature of verse indicates this meaning. However, Vīrasena has somewhat differing opinion on this point. The term 'non-glory-cum-renown' should be taken to mean the non-experienced nature of all the auspicious and inauspicious species of physique-making Karma except 30 species as below: (1) human destinity (2-4) gross, luminous and karmic body (5) gross-body bondage (6) 5-sensed class (7) one of 6 configurations (8) major and minor limbs of gross body, (9) first bone joint (10-13) colour etc. four (14) a-heavy-alightness (15-16) self and alien harm (17) one of the skymoving species "(18) mobile-ness (19) gross-ness (20) completioned-ness (21) individual body (22-23) steady, nonsteady (24-25) auspicious, inauspicious (26) one of the voices (27) amiability (28) glory-cum-renown (29) respiration and (30) formation. These species have fruition and pre-maturation at this stage. 135. The term 'libidos' and 'feeling-producing' in this verse should be taken to mean any of the species of these categories. Similarly, the term 'passion' should also be taken to mean any one of the varieties of four gleaming passions. The term Sarvāvaraņa' refers to partially and totally destroying super-variforms of specific karmic species. 136. This verse responds to the third part of the verse 130.
