________________ COSMOLOGY 183 same has the veyanızja (omitting kamma). At first sight they seem to belong to the correspondingly called pagadı, but they rather concern general denominations This follows from the contexts which are of an entirely non-special kind. In a report on the soul the veyanıjja appears as dukkhi and adukkhi aha se veyanıyje nijjinne bhavar (Viy. 639 b) 1 It is the kankha-mohanija that with the whole I acts upon the object ( § 84), it makes itself felt in cases of doubt, desire, uncertainty, discordance and defect (jiva sankıya, kankhiya, vligicchiya, bheya-samāvanna, kalusa-s ,52 a), while monks (60a) will experience it as deviations from cognition, belief, conduct and as other irregularities (nān'antara . . ling'antara, etc ). It is bound (56 b) by force of carelessness (pamāya) and activity (joga), no soul charged with it is able to get beyond foolish or semi-foolish volition (vīriyatta) (62 b) All beings of one to four senses feel this Karman without being conscious of it (69 b) So, then, this concerns entirely general things, and in this context those names may not be taken in a special sense $89 By being annihilated several kinds of Karman suffer a special fate by being subjected to the samugghāya, i.e. the "ejection” of their particles Pannav 36 proceeds systematically in advising us about the s., whereas Umāsvātı does not mention it in his Sūtras There are seven cases of s (Thān. 409 b; Samav. 12 b), the last of which being reserved to the Kevalın, so that the remaining six are comprised as chaumatthiya s. (e.g. Samav. 11 b) This does not mean, however, that it were within the power of monks only to attain it, the fact is, rather, that all beings share in it correspondingly (Pannay. 561 b). For they all have a certain sense of Karman (voyanā), have passion (kasāya), suffer death (marana) and thus are in possession of the accordingly called samugghāya (1 to 3), in the third case the māran'antıya s As far as they have a body of transformation, a body of transposition and a fiery body they are given the possibility of also attaining the corresponding samug I In a counterpart of this passage which, perhaps, is only oratorical the poggala is given a lukkhi and alukkhi (Viy, 638, b comp. $ 60).
