A stream enterer, a once-returner, a non-returner, and an arhat²⁶⁶—this kind of person has exhausted neither their lifespan nor their actions but has exhausted the kleśas. “What kind of person is well²⁶⁷ in body but unhappy in mind? A worldly, ordinary person who has acquired merit is well in body but not in his mind—for example, the brahmin, the householder, the king Māndhātar,²⁶⁸ and so forth in the country of Magadha.²⁶⁹ This kind of person is well in body but unhappy in his mind. “What kind of person is happy in mind but unwell in body? For example, the arhat Karmaśa,²⁷⁰ who was happy in mind but unwell in body. Or, in the same manner, the noble Śoṇottara,²⁷¹ who, in a former life, gave a ball made of cow dung mixed with cowhage²⁷² to a pratyekabuddha for his bath. Through the complete ripening of this action, he suffered from leprosy spreading all over his body. The following verse is said to illustrate this: “Acts are more powerful When their objects are precious.²⁷³ When under their sway, I will experience suffering.²⁷⁴ “Or consider, for instance, Jaṅghākāśyapa:²⁷⁵ When a certain pratyekabuddha came to Benares, Jaṅghākāśyapa thought, ‘I will offer him a meal.’ Then, after a long time, he offered food after the appropriate mealtime had passed. Through this action, in a future time, when he had become a noble person himself, while going on his morning alms round, he arrived too late to obtain any food. A person like this is happy in mind but unwell in body. “What kind of person is well in both body and mind? - [Previous: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.27) - [Next: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.29) ## Linked texts (1) - [ལས་རྣམ་པར་འབྱེད་པ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo.28) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.mahakarmavibhanga*bo~en-84000.28) · Pramāṇa
