[Footnote 391: The commentators agree on the whole in their explanations
of the terms of this series.--The following is the substance of the
comment of the Brahmavidyabhara/n/a: Nescience is the error of
considering that which is momentary, impure, &c. to be permanent, pure,
&c.--Impression (affection, sa/m/skara) comprises desire, aversion, &c.,
and the activity caused by them.--Knowledge (vij/n/ana) is the
self-consciousness (aham ity alayavij/n/anasya v/ri/ttilabha/h/)
springing up in the embryo.--Name and form is the rudimentary flake--or
bubble-like condition of the embryo.--The abode of the six
(sha/d/ayatana) is the further developed stage of the embryo in which
the latter is the abode of the six senses.--Touch (spar/s/a) is the
sensations of cold, warmth, &c. on the embryo's part.--Feeling (vedana)
the sensations of pleasure and pain resulting therefrom.--Desire
(t/ri/sh/n/a) is the wish to enjoy the pleasurable sensations and to
shun the painful ones.--Activity (upadana) is the effort resulting from
desire,--Birth is the passing out from the uterus.--Species (jati) is
the class of beings to which the new-born creature belongs.--Decay
(jara).--Death (mara/n/am) is explained as the condition of the creature
when about to die (mumursha).--Grief (/s/oka) the frustration of wishes
connected therewith.--Lament (paridevanam) the lamentations on that
account.--Pain (du/h/kha) is such pain as caused by the five
senses.--Durmanas is mental affliction.--The 'and the like' implies
death, the departure to another world and the subsequent return from
there.]
