## The Twelve Angas: The Ganipitaka
[173 The refutation of the three hundred and sixty-two views of the four types of Ekantavādins, from the perspective of Syādvāda, and the determination of the true nature of things, is done in this second Sutra-created Anga.
519-What is the nature of the Sthānāṅga? It establishes the existence of the self-time, the other-time, the self-time-other-time, the living beings, the non-living beings, the living-non-living beings, the world, the non-world, and the world-non-world.
It describes the substance, qualities, field, time, and permutations of living beings and other substances, as well as the mountains, the great rivers like the Ganges, the oceans, the suns, the buildings, the flying machines, the mines of gold and other metals, the ordinary rivers, the treasures of the Chakravartis, the many races of men, the different kinds of sounds, the lineages, and the movements of the celestial deities. It also describes the existence of one, two, up to ten types of substances. It describes the living beings, the pudgalas, and the substances like Dharma-āstikāya and Adharma-āstikāya that exist in the world. ||1||
420-The readings of the Sthānāṅga are limited, the Anuyo-gadvāras are numbered, the Pratīpattis are numbered, the Vedhas (special meters) are numbered, the Ślokas are numbered, and the Sangrahanīs are numbered.
521-This Sthānāṅga is the third Anga in relation to the Angas, it contains one Śruta-skandha, ten Adhyayanas, twenty-one Uddesaṇakālas, [twenty-one Samuddesaṇakālas], seventy-two thousand verses, and is established by the number of verses. The number of letters is infinite, the permutations are infinite, the truths are limited, the eternal beings are infinite, and the living beings are bound by the karmas. The Jina-established teachings, the feelings, the actions, the perceptions, the examples, and the explanations are presented. They are presented in this way, in this way, in this way, and in this way, through the actions, the perceptions, and the explanations. This is the nature of the Sthānāṅga. ||3||
