.:263 : Trans.--204 ( The opponent may ask ) How are they animate ? ( The answer is )—Bhūtas ending at vāyu are animate on account of ( their possessing ) that characteristic. The sky being incorporeal by itself is merely a support (and hence ) it is not animate.
टीका-कथं पुनः सह जीवेन वर्तन्त इति सजीवानि भूतानि ? इति परस्य मतिः स्यात् । अत्रोच्यते-तस्य जीवस्य लिङ्गं तल्लिङ्गं तस्मात् तदुपलब्धेरित्यर्थः, सचेतनान्यनिलावसानानि चत्वारि भूतानि । व्योम-आकाशं पुनर्विगतमूर्तिभावमाधार एव, न तु सजीवमिति ॥२०४॥ (१७५२)
D. C.-Vyakta :-How are the bhūtas sajîva as they exist along with jîva ?
The Acārya :-Prithvi, jala, agni, and vāyu are sa-java because they possess the characteristics of jîva. But the sky is not sa-jîva since it is a-mūrta and hence it acts merely as an adhāra.
The living characteristic of prithvî can be laid down as follows:जम्म-जरा-जीवण-मरण-रोहणा-हार-दोहला-मयओ। रोग-तिगिच्छाईहि य नारि व सचेयणा तरवो ॥२०५॥(१७५३) Jamma-jara-jivana-marana-rohana-hara-dohala-mayaon Roga-tigicchaihi ya nari vva sa-ceyanā taravo ॥ 205 ॥ ( 1753 ) [जन्म-जरा-जीवन-मरण-रोहणा-ऽऽहार-दौहृदा-ऽऽमयतः। '
रोग-चिकित्सादिभिश्च नारीव सचेतनास्तरवः ।। २०५ ॥ (१७५३) Janma-jara-jivana-marana-rohana-"hāra-dauhruda-''mayatah | Roga-cikitsadibhisca nāriva sa-cetanastaravah || 205 ॥ (1753)]
Trans.--205 Trees like woman are living ( beings ) by reason of ( their having ) birth, old age, life, death, growth, hunger, desire, disease and its diagnosis etc.
