divisible by four or that gives a remainder of three (teoga), two (dāvara-jumma) or, in the case of horizontal lines, one (kalioga) if divided by four.
a. The vertical lines in the non-world that have both a beginning and an end are those near the two small horizontal layers of the central world: kşullaka-pratara-pratyāsattau urdhv'āyata-śrenir āśrityâvaseyaḥ (kşullakapratara = khudļāga-payara in XIII 43a 5a); cf. Lehre p. 32, n. 2 = Doctrine p. 41, n. 2. b. Horizontal lines in the world of course always have an even number of paesas since they always are split in two equal halves by the centre of the Rucaka (see XIII 4'), Abhay. That the number of paesas of horizontal lines in the non-world may be kada-jumma, teoga, dāvara-jumma and kalioga is quite obvious if we compare a line that touches the world at the kşullaka-pratara-dvaya (see a above) with lines that touch the world immediately above and below this place and which, because of the gradual bulging of the upper and the nether world, are one, two, three etc. paesas shorter. Does the fact that the number of paesas of vertical lines in the nonworld cannot be kalioga (vastu-svabhāvāt, Abhay.) mean that it never can be i because of the kşullaka-pratara-dvaya? Cf. Abhay. 868a 5-7.
? (866b) There are seven kinds of lines (sedhi) along which all movements of atoms, aggregates and souls are bound to proceed (anusedhim gai pavattai, no visedhim g. p.). Lines are straight (ujju-āyaya), have one or two deflections (egao- and duhao-vamka), form a figure (with two right angles] open at one side (egao-khaha; C Abhay.) or at two sides (duhao-khaha; 4 Abhay.), are circular (cakkavāla) or semicircular (addha-cakkavāla).
Cf. Țhāna 705b and Lehre par. 95.
8 (866b) The number of abodes in the different regions of the world, ref. to I 51.
(866b) The twelve Angas (duvālas'anga gani-pidaga) Ayāra up to Diţthivāya, ref. to Nandi 246b.
10 (867a) The theory of relative number (appā-bahuya) applied to [1] the five stages of postexistence (panca-gai, viz as HAMG or Siddha); [2] beings with (one up to five) senses and without senses; [3] beings with a body (sakāiya, viz the five kinds of Al and tasakāiya) and without a body (akāiya); [4] souls (jīva), atoms (poggala) up to [scil., according to the comm., units of time (samaya), substances (dravya), units of space (pradeśa) and]
