55 palyopama [For Saudharma etc. refer to the original text.] In this Pada no thought is given to the problem of 'life-duration' of modes or classes of non-living substances. The reason behind this seems to be the fact that Dharma, Adharma and Akāśa are eternal; and it is stated in Pada V that matter exists from one or two or three and so on upto asamkhyāta samayas (515-518); so, the separate treatment of the sthiti of the modes of matter (Pudgala) is not necessary. Moreover, this Pada considers that sthiti only which is the result of āyukarma and such a sthiti is not possible in the case of non-living substances.
5. While giving an account of the life-spans of the jalacara, etc. the text
separately mentions the life-spans of garbhaja and sammúrcchima beings
(Sū. 376 ff.); but in the present Table we have not done so. 6. Again, while dealing with the life-span of the human beings, the text
separately notes the life-spans of garbhaja and sammūrochima human
beings (Su. 391-92). 7. The text describes the life-spans of gods and goddesses of the celestial
classes viz. Candra etc. (Sū. 397-406). 8. Sū. 409-426.
