14.74

Ji says: As in fascicle eight of the Abhidharma[-samuccaya-vyākhyā], there are five kinds: namely, congenital, half-monthly, jealous, sprinkling, and removed. Here, only the 'sprinkling' is absent, because here 'jealous' is divided into two—namely, pressing upon oneself and watching another. There, sprinkling is combined into the category of jealous, because virility arises only upon obtaining another's semen and blood. Ṣaṇḍha is translated here as lacking the function of virility; paṇḍaka is translated here as delighting in others committing wrongdoing upon oneself. For instance, congenital is called 'complete'—lacking faculties, and because of delighting in others committing wrongdoing upon oneself, is called a paṇḍaka; being without the function of virility, it is called a ṣaṇḍha, meaning virility does not arise for an entire lifetime. The second delights in wrongdoing upon oneself, and is named a paṇḍaka; having virility at times, it is not in essence a ṣaṇḍha, because it has faculties and the faculty's virility arises at times. Among the 'removed' there are two persons: this person is unlike the congenital who definitely lacks the male faculty; the removed previously had the male faculty, and although removed, the disposition has still not altered. If one does not delight in wrongdoing from another, one is therefore not a paṇḍaka; being without the faculty's virility, one is called a ṣaṇḍha. If one delights in wrongdoing upon oneself, one is called a paṇḍaka; lacking the faculty, one is also a ṣaṇḍha.
