(quoted DA.I, 162) gives details of each species. Two of them, the black and the white, are interpreted in a Buddhist sense at D.III, 250, M.II, 222, and Netti 158. This interpretation (but not the theory of the six species) has been widely adopted by subsequent Hindu writers. — 2. Rebirth, descent, Miln.226. (Page 63)
