Purport of the Sūtra
Here a question arises: The earth-bodied beings can neither hear, nor see. nor smell, nor move. How can then we believe that they have pleasurable or painful sensation?
The Lord explained the problem through three examples. The first example- Just as the dumb cannot articulate his pain however intense, when cut or tortured, likewise the one-sensed being like the earth-bodied organism feels pain though it is incapable of articulating it on account of his being bereft of any other sense-organ to express it. The Curni on this sūtra refers to a five-sensed individual who was absolutely incapable of movement, aga. He was the son of Queen Mrgā, and called Mrgaputra. He was like a lump of earth experiencing extreme pain." The earth-bodied beings are comparable to him in respect of their feeling of pain."
