84] [Prajñāpanasūtra (svagochara, i.e., perceptible, well-understood, and intimately understood) are present, not aviṣaya (not svagochara, i.e., different from perceptible, well-understood, and intimately understood), and the jīva also receives those substances sequentially (in order - according to proximity to the object of perception), not non-sequentially (violating proximity), and receives the language substances that come from the six directions according to the rule, because the bhāṣaka trasajīva residing in the trasanāḍī receives the substances of all six directions according to the rule. (16) The jīva receives the substances that it receives as language both intermittently (with some time interval in between or intermittently) and continuously (continuously - without any interval in between). If the jīva receives language substances intermittently, then it receives them with an interval of a single moment in the inferior case and an interval of countless moments in the superior case. If someone speaks continuously, then one should understand an interval of a single moment in relation to that. For example, a speaker receives certain pudgalas of language in the first moment, expels them in the second moment, and expels the pudgalas received in the second moment in the third moment. In this way, there is only reception in the first moment, both reception and expulsion in the middle moments, and only expulsion in the last moment. How can the reception and expulsion of bhāṣapudgalas, these two mutually contradictory actions, occur in the same moment? 1 The solution to this doubt is that although according to Jain doctrine two uses are not possible in the same moment, but actions can be many in the same moment, there is no contradiction in their happening / A single dancer performs various actions with her hands, feet, etc., while performing actions like walking, etc., this is seen directly. The production and consumption of all things is seen in the same moment, similarly the mutually contradictory efforts of reception and expulsion of language substances can also occur in the same moment. Therefore, it has been said that if the jīva continuously receives language substances without interruption, then it receives them continuously for a minimum of two moments and a maximum of countless moments / The word 'anusamaya' has been used to prevent the misconception that someone might think that there is only one reception for countless moments, which means 'after one moment'. The word 'avirahita' has been used to prevent the misconception that someone might understand 'anusamaya' even if there is an interruption in between. In this way, there is only reception in the first moment, not expulsion; because expulsion is not possible without reception. And in the end, when the intention of language ceases, there is no reception, only expulsion occurs / The rest (middle) second, third, etc. moments have both reception and expulsion together / But the pudgalas received in the previous moment are released only in the subsequent moment. It does not happen that the pudgalas that are received in a particular moment are also expelled in the same moment (17) The jīva expels the substances received as language intermittently, not continuously, because the jīva does not expel the substances that it receives in the same moment in which it receives them, i.e., the bhāṣapudgalas received in the first moment are not expelled in the first moment, but in the second moment, and the substances received in the second moment are expelled in the third moment, and so on / The conclusion is that the substances received in the previous moments are 1.
