getting knowledge, humble and free from curiosity, straightforward and righteous.
vii (f).The second good emotion takes its name, Padmaleśyā, from the lotus-flower, for jīva beneath its dominion open their hearts to all good things as lotus lilies expand to the sun. Its colour is yellow,[1] and its taste is better than honey.
