[5188540मित्तत्वाच्चक्षुर्वत् । यथा रूपोपलब्धौ चक्षुनिमित्त मिति न व्याक्षिप्तमनस्कस्यापि भवति । अधिकृतानां धर्माधर्माकाशानां निष्क्रियत्वेऽभ्युपगते जीवपुद्गलानां सक्रियत्वमर्थादापन्नम् । कालस्यापि सक्रियत्वमिति चेत् ? न; अनधिकारात् । अत एवासावेतैः सह नाधिक्रियते।।

नि-नहीं; क्योकि उसका यहाँ अधिकार नहीं है। इसलिए इन द्रव्यो के साथ उसका अधिकार नहीं किया है।
5540. 'अजीवकायाः' इत्यादि सत्रमें 'काय' पदके ग्रहण करनेसे प्रदेशोंका अस्तित्व मात्र जाना जाता है, प्रदेशोंकी संख्या नहीं मालूम होती, अत: उसका निर्धारण करनेके लिए आगेका सूत्र कहते हैंधर्म, अधर्म और एक जीवके असंख्यात प्रदेश हैं ॥8॥
8541. जो संख्यासे परे हैं वे असंख्यात कहलाते हैं। असंख्यात तीन प्रकारका है--- जघन्य, उत्कृष्ट और अजघन्योत्कृष्ट । उनमें से यहाँ अजघन्योत्कृष्ट असंख्यातका ग्रहण किया और "प्रदिश्यन्ते इति प्रदेशः' यह प्रदेश शब्दकी व्यत्पत्ति है। तात्पर्य यह है कि जिससे विकसित माणका संकेत मिलता है, उसे प्रदेश कहते हैं । परमाणुका लक्षण आगे कहेंगे । वह जितने क्षेत्रमें रहता है वह प्रदेश है ऐसा व्यवहार किया जाता है। धर्म, अधर्म और एक जीवके प्रदेशोंकी संख्या समान है । इनमें से धर्म और अधर्मद्रव्य निष्क्रिय हैं और लोकाकाशभरमें फैले हुए हैं। यद्यपि जीवके प्रदेश धर्म और अधर्म द्रव्यके बराबर ही हैं तो भी वह संकोच और विस्तारस्वभाववाला है, इसलिए कर्मके निमित्तसे छोटा या बड़ा जैसा शरीर मिलता है उतनी अवगाहनाका होकर रहता है। और केवलिसमुद्घातके समय जब यह लोकको व्यापता है उस समय जीवके मध्यके आठ प्रदेश मेरु पर्वतके नीचे चित्रा पथिवीके वज्रमय पटलके मध्यमें स्थित हो जाते हैं और शेष प्रदेश ऊपर, नीचे और तिरछे समस्त लोकको व्याप लेते हैं।

208] Sarvarthasiddhi
[5188540] Because of being a mere instrument, like the eye. Just as the eye is a mere instrument in the perception of form, so also it is not the case that a distracted mind can perceive form even in the presence of the eye. When the inactivity of the substances of dharma, adharma, and space is accepted, the activity of jiva and pudgala is obtained from the meaning. But if it is said that time is also active? No; because it has no authority here. Therefore, it is not authorized along with these.
$ 540. In the phrase "ajivakaya", the word "kaya" indicates only the existence of regions, not the number of regions determined by them. Therefore, to determine that, the next sutra is said:
There are innumerable regions of dharma, adharma, and one jiva. ||8||
8541. Those that are beyond number are called innumerable. Innumerable is of three types - jghanya, utkrisht, and ajghanyotkrisht. Here, the ajghanyotkrisht innumerable is taken. "Pradisyante iti pradesah" is the etymology of the word "pradesh". The meaning is that what gives a sign of the developed mana is called a pradesh. The characteristics of the paramanu will be explained later. The region in which it resides is called a pradesh. The number of regions of dharma, adharma, and one jiva is equal. Of these, dharma and adharma substances are inactive and spread throughout the lokakasha. Although the regions of jiva are equal to the dharma and adharma substances, it is still capable of contraction and expansion, so it resides in the extent of the body, small or large, obtained due to karma. And at the time of the kevalisamudghata, when it pervades the entire loka, the eight middle regions of jiva are situated in the middle of the vajra-like plate of the chitra earth, below the Meru mountain, and the remaining regions pervade the entire loka, above, below, and diagonally. This is not a fault, because like the eye sense, these are mere instruments in the force. Just as the eye sense is a mere instrument in the perception of form, so also it is not the case that a distracted mind can perceive form even in the presence of the eye. In the same way, it should be understood in the present context. Thus, when the inactivity of the substances of dharma, adharma, and space is accepted, the activity of jiva and pudgala is obtained from the meaning. Doubt - Will the substance of time also be active?
No - No; because it has no authority here. Therefore, it is not authorized along with these substances.
