Host-individual vegetables also in the beginning of their growth are non-host individual for an antar-muhúrta. Then they become host untile they are so developed that the sinews and nerves appear on them, when they again become non-host individual.
मूले कंदे छल्लीपवालसालद नकुसुमफलबीजे ।
समभंगे सदिगंता असमे सदि होंति पत्तेया ॥ १८८ ॥ मूले कंदे त्वक्प्रवालशालदल कुसुमफल बीजे ।
समभङ्गे सति अनन्ता असमे सति भवन्ति प्रत्येकाः ॥ १८८ ॥
188. The vegetables in which sinews, (shirá), links, (Sandhi, and joints, ( Parva ), are unexposed, or which break clean (Samabhanga), which have no threads inside (Ahiruka) and which can grow from pieces are host bodies, while those that are reverse of these are individual (non-host). See (note to Gatha 73).
Commentary.
The term Sádhárana in the Gatha, refers to Sapratishthta Pratyeka, host individual, souled vegetables.
कंदस्स व मूलस्स व सालाखंधस्स बाबि बहुलतरी । छल्ली सागंतजिया पत्तेयजिया तु तकदरी ॥ १८६ ॥ कन्दस्य वा मूलस्य वा शालास्कन्धस्य वापि बहुलतरी । त्वक् सा अनन्तजीवा प्रत्येकजीवा तु तनुकतरा ॥ १८६ ॥
189. Roots, bulbs, barks, tendrils, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds when clean breaking, (Samabhanga) are host (individual souled vegetables), when not clean breaking, (they) are (non-host ) individual.
Commentary.
Jain Education International
If a vegetable can be so broken that the two pieces at the broken parts leave no projecting threads or sinews it is called Samabhanga.
