This is the tenth 'Charampadi' of the Prajnapana Sutra. In the world, there are Jivas and Ajiva. Among Ajiva, there are Ratna Prabha and other Earths, Devaloka, Lok, Alok, and Paramanu-Pudgala, Skandha, Sansthana, etc. Some of these are Charam (final), and some are Acharam (middle). Therefore, how to call something as Ekavachananta Charam or Acharam, or Bahuvachananta Charam or Acharam, or Charamanta Pradesh or Acharamanta Pradesh? This thought is presented in this Padi. The Vattikar has explained the mystery of the words Charam and Acharam, etc., by saying that these words are relative, they depend on others. From this perspective, first, the Charam and Acharam of Ratna Prabha and other eight Earths, Saudharma, etc., Lok, Alok, etc., are discussed with 6 options. In response, these six options are negated because if Ratna Prabha, etc., are considered as one undivided entity, then none of the above options are true. But if its intention is to be considered as an infinite Pradesh Avagaha, and it is divided into many parts, then it is, by rule, Acharam-Aneka Charam, Charamanta Pradesh, and Acharamanta Pradesh. The Vattikar has also revealed the mystery of this answer. After this, the Alp Bahutva of the above-mentioned 6 Padi of Charam, etc., is considered. It is also discussed from the three Nayas of Dravyathik, Pradeshthik, and Dravya Pradeshthik of Ratna Prabha, etc., Earths, Lok-Alok, etc. After this, a detailed discussion is done on the 26 Bhang (options) of Charam, Acharam, and Pravaktavya, which are made by combining Ekavachananta, Bahuvachananta, Asanyogi, Dwikasanyogi, Trikasanyogi, etc., of these three Padi, in relation to Skandha, etc., from one Paramanu Pudgala, Dwi Pradesh to Ananta Pradesh. It is discussed how many Bhang are found in each of these 26 Bhang, and why? After this, the discussion is done on the 5 Sansthana, their Prabheda, their Pradesh, their Avagahana, and their Charam, etc. 1.
