[87] S. Does he transmigrate, being no other, not having passed away?
P. Yes.
S. Does one whose hand has been cut off remain just one whose hand has been cut off? Does one whose foot has been cut off remain just one whose foot has been cut off? Does one whose hands and feet have been cut off remain just one whose hands and feet have been cut off? One whose ear has been cut off … one whose nose has been cut off … one whose ears and nose have been cut off … one whose finger has been cut off … one whose thumb has been cut off … one whose tendons have been severed … one whose hand is crooked … one whose hand is webbed … a leper … one afflicted with boils … one afflicted with eczema … one afflicted with consumption … an epileptic … a camel … an ox … a donkey … a pig … does a buffalo remain just a buffalo?
P. It should not be said thus. …
