The poet describes the detailed explanation of the scriptures, which is a vast and profound subject. It is a subject that is difficult to comprehend, even for the most knowledgeable. Time is eternal and without beginning. The present, future, and past are the three divisions of time. The entire human world is the domain of time. Dharma and Adharma are pervasive throughout the three worlds. The entire universe is filled with these two forces. The sky is also infinite and pure. The Alokaakash is known only to the yogis. Pudgala has five qualities: sound, smell, form, touch, and color. It is divided into three types based on its location: the earth, the sky, and the intermediate space. Atoms are indivisible and infinite.
There are six types of Pudgala: very subtle, subtle, subtle-gross, gross-subtle, gross, and very gross. This is what my mind believes. Smell, color, taste, touch, and sound are said to be subtle and gross. Gross-subtle is like moonlight, shadow, and sunlight. Gross is like water. This is what the great hero (Mahavira) has said. Very gross is like the earth, the celestial sphere, the jewel-studded celestial palace, and the celestial plane. All karmas, including name, mind, speech, and their consequences, undergo transformation through various combinations and separations, resulting in numerous flavors, colors, and experiences. Pudgala, with its inherent nature of creation and destruction, is said to be of many types. Thus, having listened to the teachings of the Supreme Jina with joy, Vrishabhasena accepted them with a pure heart. He took the vow of renunciation in the city of Purimatalpur. Soma Prabha, the noble king, embraced the vow of renunciation, which destroys the fever of attachment. In this way, eighty-four Ganadharas, free from sorrow, became the disciples of Rishabha Jina.
