भगवती सूत्र शः २ उ:१०
____A. 61. wheel ?
Gautama ! Is a part of the wheel the whole
-No, it is not the whole wheel ?
-The same with an umbrella, a cushion, a stick, cloth, a weapon and a sweet. Hence so. For this reason, it is said that a pradeśa of dharmāstik āya is not dharmastikaya,... till less than a pradeśa of dharmastikaya is not dharmästikāya.
Q. 62. Bhante ! Then what is to be called dharmāstikāya ?
A. 62. Gautama ! Dharmāstikāya has innumerable pradeśas ; all of them, the sum-total, leaving none out, the whole in one expression, such is dharmāstikāya, oh Gautama ! And like this too of adharmästikaya, ākāśāstikåya, jivästikäya and puāgalāstikaya, difference being that (last) three are with infinite pradesas ; the rest as beforets.
