Uvavaiya Suttam Su. 42
Mahāvira : Gautama! Eight time-units as follows :
In the first time-unit, they transform their space-points of the soul in the shape of a stick. In the second time-unit, they spread them this way or that like the movement of a door. In the third time-unit, the space-points stretched door-like between the north and the south are put in the shape of a churner. In the fourth time-unit, they fill up the gaps between the teeth of the churner with the universe. In the fifth time-unit they withdraw the universe and revert to the state of the churner. In the sixth time-unit, the churner is withdrawn and the space-points stand doorlike. In the seventh time-unit, the door-like shape is withdrawn and the space-points stand like a stick. In the eighth time-unit, the stick-like shape is withdrawn and they return to the body.
गौतम : से णं भंते ! तहा समुग्घायं ग्रए कि मणजोगं मुंजइ ? वयजोगं जुजइ ? काययोगं जुजइ ?
महावीर : गोयमा ! णो मणजोगं जुज़इ णो वयजोगं जुजइ कायजोगं मुंजइ ।
गौतम : भगवन् ! समुद्घातगत-समुद घात में प्रवर्तमान केवली क्या मनोयोग का प्रयोग अर्थात् मानसिक-क्रिया करते हैं ? क्या वचन योग का प्रयोग अर्थात वाचिक क्रिया करते हैं ? क्या काययोग का प्रयोगकायिक क्रिया करते हैं ?
महावीर : हे गौतम ! वे मनोयोग का प्रयोग नहीं करते हैं, वे वचन योग का प्रयोग नहीं करते हैं। किन्तु काय योग का प्रयोग करते हैं।
Gautama : Bhante ! Do the Kevalins who have attained
