## Chapter 1
**886.** The touch of the **bhavyas** (those destined for liberation) is the same as the **ogha** (stream) from the **pathya** (those who follow the right path) to the **ayogakevali** (those who have attained liberation without any effort). The **abhavya** (those who are not destined for liberation) have touched all beings.
**887.** The touch of the **kshayika samyagdrsti** (those who have destroyed their karmas) from the **asamyata samyagdrsti** (those who have not yet attained complete control over their senses) to the **ayogakevali** is the same as the **ogha**. However, the touch of the **samyata samyata** (those who have attained complete control over their senses) is a fraction of the **loka** (universe). The touch of the **kshayopashamaka samyagdrsti** (those who are on the path of destroying their karmas) is the same as the **ogha**. The touch of the **asamyata samyagdrsti** (those who have not yet attained complete control over their senses) is the same as the **ogha**. The touch of the remaining **opashamaka samyagdrsti** (those who are on the path of destroying their karmas) is a fraction of the **loka**. The touch of the **sasadan samyagdrsti** (those who have attained the first stage of liberation), **sarvagami mithyadrsti** (those who have attained the highest stage of the wrong path), and **mithyadrsti** (those who are on the wrong path) is the same as the **ogha**.
**888.** The touch of the **sanjnas** (those who have attained the knowledge of the self) is the same as the **chakshudarsana** (those who have attained the vision of the self) beings. The **asanjnas** (those who have not attained the knowledge of the self) have touched all beings. The touch of those who are devoid of both these characteristics is the same as the **ogha**.
**889.** The touch of the **aharakas** (those who consume food) from the **mithyadrsti** to the **kshinakashaya** (those who have destroyed their karmas) is the same as the **ogha**. The touch of the **sayogakevali** is a fraction of the **loka**. Among the **anahakaras** (those who do not consume food), the **mithyadrsti** have touched all beings. The **sasadan samyagdrsti** have touched a fraction of the **loka** and eleven out of fourteen parts of the **lokanadi** (the path of the universe). The **asamyata samyagdrsti** have touched a fraction of the **loka** and six out of fourteen parts of the **lokanadi**. The **sayogakevali** have touched a fraction of the **loka** and all beings. The **ayogakevali** have touched a fraction of the **loka**. This is the explanation of touch.
**890.** Now we will discuss **kala** (time). It is of two types: **samanya** (general) and **vishesha** (specific). In general, the **mithyadrsti** has touched all time in relation to the **ajiva** (non-living beings). In relation to the **jiva** (living beings), there are three types of time:
1. **Anadi** (beginningless) and **saryava** (ending) - This is the time from the **meru** (mountain) to the **tal** (bottom) and above, less than five **raju** (a unit of measurement) and six **raju** respectively. This touch is attained in relation to the **uppapada** (birth).
2. **Anadi** (beginningless) and **saryava** (ending) - This is the time from the **meru** to the **tal** and above, less than the **achyuta kalpa** (a unit of time). The **tiryanch** (animals) and **asamyata samyagdrsti** are born in the **achyuta kalpa** after death, so this touch is attained in relation to the **uppapada**.
