103 Q. If disgust is a kind of condemnation, there should be the word, 'kutsa' in the aphorism 8.9. It will make the aphorism shorter (and more general) in meaning.
A. This is not correct. The two terms have specific meanings. The disgust is the cover or concealment of one's own defects or bad qualities. In contrast, the condemnation (Kutsā) is disclosing the defects of the family and character etc. of others, blaming them and censure them etc.
The feminine libido is defined as that whose realisation is manifested in (or causes to acquire) the forms of womanish feelings like tenderness, obscurity, cowardice, sexual desire, eye-blinking, desire for men and pleasure of sexual strikes etc. The other two libidoes of masculine and neuter types are in existence when there is realisation of feminine libido. However, they have a separate existence because of the existence of good actions and feelings. Q. It is popularly known that womb, soft breasts and the like are the (physical) signs of feminine libido. A. This is not correct. They are formed due to the realisation of physique-making karma (and not of deluding karma). The libido is represented by volitions or feelings. The (physical) males can also have the realisation of feminine libido. Sometimes, the females may also have masculine libido because of the internal specific vol itions.
The physical shapes and parts of the body are formed due to the realisation of the physique-making karma. This description of feminine libido leads to explain about the other two libidoes.
The masculine libido is that whose realisation results in mannish volitions. The neuter libido is that whose realisation results in volitions specific to the living entities of neuter gender. 5. The passion-experiencing (conduct-deluding) karma has sixteen varieties with respect to their classes of infinite-bonding etc. They can be illustrated as below :
There are four passions - (1) anger, (2) pride, (3) deceit and (4) greed. The anger is defined as the intolerant and cruel volition for the injury or disadvantage to the self and others. It has four sub-classes (depending upon its intensity) -(1) streak-in mountain stone-like (2) streak-on pebbles or earth-like (3) streak or line-on-sand-like and (4)
streak-on-water-like. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only
