Buddhaghosa describes these as being \*kaṇha\*, \*nīla\*, \*lohita\*, \*halidda\*, \*sukka\* and \*paramasukka\*. This closely resembles the curious Jaina doctrine of the six Leśyas.¹⁰ In the Aṅguttara Nikāya¹¹ a similar doctrine is attributed to Pūraṇa Kassapa. - [Previous: v1.c7.106](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.106) - [Next: v1.c7.108](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.108) - [Up: v1.c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.107](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.107) · Pramāṇa
