"Now, Venerable Sir, those souls who pass into existence as the roots of āya, kāya, kuhanā, kandurukka, ubbehalikā, sakā, sajjā, chattā, vaṃśānikā, and kurā?" In this manner here too, ten uddeśakas beginning with root [are to be stated] completely just like the āluka group, with this difference: body size is similar to the tāla group; the rest is just that.
"It is true, Venerable Sir! It is true, Venerable Sir!"
