e mathematical calculation of purity is an invention exclusively of the Jaina thinkers. It appears that their close association with the mathematicians of the ancient period is responsible for such mathematical orientation of psychological facts, In fact the atomic theory of the Jainas played an important part in the exact calculation of the spiri
tual development of the soul. 204 Here the 'innumerable' means the
number of space-points in the loka. 205 This innumerable number is to be
understood as identical with the same number of time-instants constituting an antarmuhurta. Cf. Aņuogaddārāim, 367, 511.

sion śruta is used instead. This discrepancy is explainable on the ground that the Prakrit Version varies as suya or sutta in the original
