Q.IX.11.3
A.IX.11.3
If these afflictions are possible for an omniscient with activities, then he must experience hunger, thirst etc?
The feeling karma, in the absence of deluding karma, does not have the potency to produce the misery's / afflictions. Further the absence of obstructing karma (ant raya) also results in the unobstructed state of bliss and so no hunger / thirst etc can cause afflictions. It is said in scriptures that these afflictions can rise but are immediately annihilated.
Q.IX.11.4 A.IX.11.4
How many types of food intake are there? There are six types of food intake, namely: body-retaining nutrients (nokarma) for omniscient, karmas for infernal beings, food as morsels (kaval h ra) for human and sub-human beings, natural absorption of body-making foods from the air (lep h ra) for trees etc; absorbing bodymaking nutrients through warmth (oj h ra) for eggs and mental for heavenly beings.
