________________ (247) HIFTY SHUT GT Fora - (Prohibition of meat eating) - Somadeva wonders how people who seek their own welfare hope to increase their own flesh with the flesh of others. Just as one śown life is dear to one, similarly the life of another is dear to him and one should therefore refrain from destroying animal life. The objection to honey is based on the ground that it is pressed out of the young eggs in the womb of bees, and resembles the embryo in the first stage of its growth. It is forbidden to eat or drink in the house of those who take wine, meat and honey and even to use any utensils belonging to them. Further, one who observes the Mū laguņas should always avoid water brought in water skins, oil kept in leather flasks and women who are not in a fit state for vows. In connection with the taboo on meat, we are told that some object even to the eating of beans and pulses, as there, too, according to them, are flesh, being endowed with life like the bodies of camels, sheep and other animals. Somadeva, however, rejects this view, and cites a verse to the effect that flesh may constitute the body of an animate object, but the body of any animate object is not necessarily composed of flesh, just as the Neem is a tree, but any tree is not Neem.

Maran antika samudghata - मारणान्तिक समुद्घात - Death bedemanation is emanation in some cases of the soul spatial units shortly before death to the place where it is nextgoing to incarnate. These soul units after touching their destination contract back to their former size and thereafter the soul leaves the body. If any mobile sould in the mobile channel is to take its next birth as an immobile outside the channel and if before its death it performs the deathbed emanation, it naturally goes outside the mobile channel being a mobile. पाँच प्रकारकेमरण - Thereare fivekinds of death namely - (1) ufusayfusa PRU-Pandita - Pandita (literary, wise wise, hence the masters) death leads to the immediate realization of the coveted supreme status. It is no death at all, in reality, being simply a translation to the abode of Gods, the pure perfect souls in nirvāna. S.D. 121-122. (2) USG PRO - Paộ dita Maraņa (the wise man's death) - The Pandita death leads to the highest heavens, where the saint enjoys great felicity and pleasure for very very long periods of time, whence descending he is reborn in due course, in auspicious and desirable surroundings amongst men. Here he soon finds himself surrounded by all sorts of felicitics and facilities and inducements for the acquisition and practising of the right faith. S.D. 123.
