परिणत है । यह, अजीवों (पुद्गलादि) से लोकित - निश्चित होता है, तथा यह (भूत आदि धर्म वाला लोक) विशेष रूप से लोकित - निश्चित होता है। 'जो (प्रमाण से ) लोकित - (ज्ञात) होता है, वही लोक है न ?'
(पार्थ्यापत्य स्थविर - ) हाँ, भगवन् ! ( वही लोक है ।) इसी कारण से, हे आर्यो ! ऐसा कहा जाता है कि असंख्य लोक में (अनन्त रात्रि - दिवस... यावत् परिमित रात्रि - दिवस यावत् विनष्ट होंगे ।) इत्यादि सब पूर्ववत् कहना चाहिए।
[ ३ ] तब से वे पार्थ्यापत्य स्थविर भगवन्त श्रमण भगवान महावीर स्वामी को सर्वज्ञ और सर्वदर्शी जानने लगे ।
[Q. 2] Bhante! Why is it so that... and so on up to... fading of infinite days and nights?
[Ans.] O noble ones! It is a fact that your (preceptor) Purushadaniya (most respected among men) Arhat Parshva Naath has stated this universe (Lok) to be eternal. He has further stated that this universe is without a beginning (anaadi) and without an end (anant), limited (parimit), surrounded (parivrit) by unoccupied space (Alok), extended at the base, slender in the middle and vast at the top. It is shaped like paryank (extended like a bed) at the bottom, vajra (slender like thunderbolt) in the middle and urdhvamridang (upturned drum) at the top. In such universe without a beginning and without an end, limited, surrounded, extended at the base, slender in the middle and vast at the top, shaped like paryank at the bottom, vajra in the middle and urdhvamridang at the top, infinite clusters of living beings are born and destroyed as also limited number of clusters of living beings are born and destroyed. That is why this universe (Lok) is tangible, born, lost and transformed. This (universe with aforesaid attributes) is defined and specially defined by (various states of) the non-living (matter etc.). Is it not that because it is so defined (by evident reality) it is known as the universe (Lok)?
(The ascetics-) Yes, Bhante! It is so. (Bhagavan-) That is why, O noble ones! It is said that in this occupied space (Lok) with innumerable space-points there has been, there is... and so on up to... occurrence of dawning and fading of infinite days and nights (repeat the whole statement).
[3] Since that moment those senior ascetics (followers of Bhagavan Parshva Naath) accepted Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir to be all knowing and all seeing (omniscient).
