2.173-175

Pakudhavāde akaṭāti akatā. Akaṭavidhāti akatavidhānā. Evaṃ karohīti kenaci kārāpitāpi na hontīti attho. Animmitāti iddhiyāpi na nimmitā. Animmātāti animmāpitā, keci animmāpetabbāti padaṃ vadanti, taṃ neva pāḷiyaṃ, na aṭṭhakathāyaṃ dissati. Vañjhādipadattayaṃ vuttatthameva. Na iñjantīti esikatthambho viya ṭhitattā na calanti. Na vipariṇamantīti pakatiṃ na jahanti. Na aññamaññaṃ byābādhentīti na aññamaññaṃ upahananti. Nālanti na samatthā. Pathavikāyotiādīsu pathavīyeva pathavikāyo, pathavisamūho vā. Tatthāti tesu jīvasattamesu kāyesu. Sattannaṃ tveva kāyānanti yathā muggarāsiādīsu pahataṃ satthaṃ muggādīnaṃ antarena pavisati, evaṃ sattannaṃ kāyānaṃ antarena chiddena vivarena satthaṃ pavisati. Tattha ahaṃ imaṃ jīvitā voropemīti kevalaṃ saññāmattameva hotīti dasseti.

In the doctrine of Pakudha: ‘Unmade’ means not performed. ‘Unordered’ means not arranged; the meaning is: they are not caused to be made by anyone [saying] ‘do it thus.’ ‘Uncreated’ means not created even by psychic power. ‘Not caused to be created’: not brought into creation; some state the reading to be ‘animmāpetabbā’ (not to be caused to be created), but that is seen neither in the Pāḷi text nor in the commentary. The triad of terms beginning with ‘barren’ has the meaning already stated. ‘They do not shake’ means, standing firm like an indakhīla, they do not move. ‘They do not transform’ means they do not forfeit their intrinsic nature. ‘They do not harm one another’ means they do not injure each other. ‘Not capable’ means not able. In ‘the body of earth’ and so on, the body of earth is just earth, or an aggregate of earth. ‘Therein’ means among those bodies, of which the soul is the seventh. ‘Only through the seven bodies’: just as a weapon struck into a heap of kidney beans enters between the beans, so a weapon enters through the gap, through the opening, between the seven bodies. In that regard, he shows that [the thought] ‘I deprive this one of life’ is merely a mere perception.
