507-508. Six men, travellers, are lost in the central part of a forest. Seeing a fruit-laden tree they (severally) think of eating the fruits, by uprooting (the tree), by cut. ting its trunk, by (cutting) the branches, by cutting the minor branches, by plucking (the fruits), by (picking) the fallen (fruits from the ground). Their speech (which represents the six kinds of activity) in the mind is the (result or) action (of the respective thought-paints).
___ Commentary. The person who wants to uproot the whole tree is actuated by black-thought-paint. The one who keeps the root, but wishes to cut it down from the trunk is of blue-paint. He who wishes to cut the large branches is of grey-thought-paint. The remaining three persons do not want to destroy the generating parts of the tree, but they are indifferent in having their object fulfilled as harmlessly as possible. The person who wants to pick up the fallen fruits
