41.1.1072

“Venerable Sir, from where are black-leśyā heap-pair kṛtayugma inhabitants of hell reborn?”
Rebirth is as in Dhūmaprabhā; the rest is as in the first uddeśaka. For Asurakumāras likewise, thus up to the Vāṇamantaras. For humans also just as for the inhabitants of hell: they subsist on self-inflicted dishonour. “Free from leśyā, free from action, they attain perfection in that very embodiment”—this should not be said; the rest is as in the first uddeśaka.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
With black-leśyā tryojas also, the uddeśaka is just so.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
With black-leśyā dvāparayugmas, the uddeśaka is just so.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
With black-leśyā kalis also, the uddeśaka is just so; the quantity and the combination are as in the general uddeśakas.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
Just as with black leśyā, so with blue leśyā four uddeśakas are to be spoken completely, with the exception that the rebirth of inhabitants of hell is as in Vālukāprabhā; the rest is the very same.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
With grey leśyā also, four uddeśakas are to be made just so, with the exception that the rebirth of inhabitants of hell is as in Ratnaprabhā; the rest is the very same.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
“Venerable Sir, from where are fiery-leśyā heap-pair kṛtayugma Asurakumāras reborn?”
Just so, with the exception that it is to be stated for those among whom fiery leśyā exists. Thus these four uddeśakas are also to be made similar to [those of] black leśyā.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
Thus with lotus leśyā also, four uddeśakas are to be made. Lotus leśyā belongs to five-sensed animals, humans, and celestial beings; it does not belong to the rest.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
Just as with lotus leśyā, so with white leśyā four uddeśakas are to be made, with the exception that the movement of humans is as in the general uddeśakas; the rest is the very same. Thus in these six leśyās there are twenty-four uddeśakas, four general ones, all these together being twenty-eight uddeśakas.
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
