These and others are the many kinds of beings with two organs of sense. All of them live in a part of the world only, they do not live everywhere. (131)
With regard to the continuous flow, &c. (as in verse 80). (132)
The duration of the life of beings with two organs of sense is twelve years at the utmost; the shortest is less than a muhûrta. (133)
The longest duration of the body of beings with two organs of sense is a Samkhyêya (or measurable time) if they do not leave that (kind of) body; the shortest is less than one muhûrta. (134)
135, 136 = 83, 84. Substitute 'beings with two organs of sense' for Earth Lives.
ii. Beings with three organs of sense are of two kinds: subtile and gross ones. Both are either fully developed or undeveloped. Learn from me their subdivision. (137)
Kunthu, ants, bugs, Ukkala, white ants, Tanahâra, Katthahâra, Mâlûga, Pattahâraga; (138)
Duga shining like lead, which originate in the kernel of the cotton-seed, Sadâvarî, centipedes, Indagâiya; (139)
Cochineal, &c. Thus they are of many kinds. All of them live in a part of the world only, they do not live everywhere. (140)
141-145 = 132-136. (Substitute 'beings with three organs of sense.' The longest duration, &c., is forty-nine days, verse 142 = 133.)
iii. Beings with four organs of sense are of two kinds: subtile and gross ones. Both are either developed or undeveloped. Learn from me their subdivision. (146)
Andhiya, Pottiyâ, flies, mosquitoes, bees, moths, Dhiṅkana and Kaṅkana; (147)
