भास्करनन्दि - विरचितः
62
Souls and matters are described by Jina
to be possessed of action.
The medium of motion is considered as
the [neutral] cause of their movement; likewise, the medium of rest, of their repose.
63
Now, that which is capable of giving accommodation to all the substances is space,
Which should be known as of twofold, according to the division of the universe and non-universe.
64
Noumenal time is characterized by continuity in your holy scriptures, Oh Lord. Phenomenal time based on the action of objects is the index of the existence of real time.
65
These sixfold substances are said as
possessed of attributes, such as self-existence. However, the fivefold substances beginning with souls are called bodies, due to their nature of aggregation, occupying many space-points.
