Chapter 5 - Verse 43-44
The living beings classified as "Adhimān" and "Anādi" are two types. "Adhimān" pertains to the manifested substance, that is, physical matter (Pudgala), whereas "Anādi" includes the qualities of living beings such as velocity and characteristics.
What cannot be known about the prior condition of time is called "Anādi," and what can be known about the prior condition of time is termed "Adhimān." Accepting the commonly known meanings of the terms Anādi and Adhimān, it becomes evident that regardless of whether the substance is manifest or unmanifest, every substance has both types of results. In consideration of flow, Anādi and Adhimān results can be equated, irrespective of the individual perspective. However, why are these meanings not articulated completely and clearly in the present verses and their commentaries? This question is raised by the commentator in the commentary, who ultimately accepts that indeed, all substances possess both Anādi and Adhimān results. The "Sarvārthasiddhi" of Ādī Digambara clearly states that both types of results exist, and it further supports that Anādi should be understood in relation to the general substance, while Adhimān should be understood in relation to specific modes.| SR No. | 001074 |
