Q. 80. Does an omniscient who occupies the pradeśas of the space by the movement of his hands and feet, his arms and knees at the present time continue to occupy the same pradeśas of the space in the future by the movement of his hands and other limbs ?
A. 80. Gautama ! This is not correct.
Q. 81. Bhante! What is the reason for this....till in the same pradeśas of the space ?
A. 81. Gautama ! (The conscious substance or the soul) of the omniscient is endowed with energy and activity because of which the limbs move. Now, the pradeśas of the space which are occupied by the movement of hands and other limbs at the present time are not the same as the pradeśas of the space that may be occupied in future by the movement of hands,...till limbs, because of which it is stated that the pradeśas of the sky which are occupied at the present time by the movement of hands...till limbs are not the same as the pradeśas of the sky that may be occupied in the future by the movement of hands,...till limbst".
