58 (39) For the essentials of the doctrine of dravya-, kṣetra-, kāla-, bhāva, pradesa see 240 a. Additional clarification on certain points can be had from 609 a and 613 b (already referred to in connection with the treatment of time). But the doctrine is pre-supposed in a good number of other passages as well.

61 (42) The Jaina theoreticians have devised a special system of enume. ration. Its basic units are samkhyata, asamkhyāta and ananta. Samkhyāta covers the lowest quantities but even asaṁkhyāta begins at a high enough stage; ananta begins at a stage higher still but even the region of ananta has an end. This much information should suffice for our present purpose.

76 (61) Samudghata is conceived as a process in which a large quantity of Karmic physical particles are expelled at one go. As here enumerated, the first type of samudghata involves the expulsion of vedaniya-karma, the second that of kaşaya-karma, the third that of ayuş-karma, the fourth that of vaikriyaśartra-nāmakarma, the fifth that of taijasaśarīra-nāmakarma, the sixth that of aharakasarira-namakarma. The seventh type is a special operation which a person undertakes when he is on the eve of attaining mokṣa but his vedaniya-, nāma-, and gotra-karmas happen to be of greater duration than his ayuş-karma. The operation results in the equating of the duration of the former three types of karma to that of ayuş-karma. This much information should suffice for our present purpose. 77 (67) Sutra 1-59
