COMMENTARY

The descent of soul through ether and the rest, is accomplished in a very short time, because there is a special inference to that effect In the sentence following the description of the passing of the soul from ether up to rain, occurs the statement that the soul becomes rice or grain or the like. And the special statement is made that the passing out of that state is beset with great difficulties. The exact words are:

Then he is born as rice and corn, herbs and trees, sesamum and beans. From thence the escape is beset with most difficulties.

The staying in rice and corn, etc., is for a comparatively long period; from which we infer that the soul’s stay in the preceding stages is short. The escape from the condition of rice, corn, etc., being specially stated to be difficult, it follows that the escape from the condition of ether up to rain is not so difficult and hence quick.

Adhikarana VI — Human soul is but a co-tenant

with plants and animals, but does not become so

Vishaya: After rain, the Shruti declares that the soul is bora here as rice and corn, herbs and trees, sesamum and beans.

Doubt: Here arises the doubt — Are these souls descending with a remnant of their Karmas, themselves born as rice, corn, etc., or do they merely cling to those plants, etc.

Purvapaksha: The souls are born as rice, corn, etc., and do not merely cling to them.

Siddhanta: The souls are not born as rice and corn, etc., literally, as is declared in the next Sutra.
