**310] [Prajñāpanā Sūtra**
**Krishnaādi Leshyā** are countless in number and are deeply rooted in **Ākāśa Pradesh** (space). The term **Pradesh** here refers to **Ākāśa Pradesh** because **Avagāhana** (absorption) occurs only in the regions of space. Although the **Vargaṇā** (classifications) of each **Leshyā** are infinite, their absorption takes place in countless **Ākāśa Pradesh** because the entire **Lokākāśa** (cosmic space) has countless regions.
**Krishnaādi Leshyā** are endowed with infinite **Vargaṇā**. **Vargaṇā** refers to a group of atoms suitable for **Krishna Leshyā**, similar to a group of atoms suitable for **Audārika Śarīra** (gross body) etc. These **Vargaṇā** are infinite due to differences in **Varṇa** (color) etc.
**Krishnaādi Leshyā** have countless **Leshyā Sthāna** (locations). **Sthāna** refers to the differences caused by **Prakarsha** (intensification) and **Apakarsha** (attenuation), i.e., the intensity of impurity and purity. When **Krishnaādi Leshyā** are contemplated in their form as **Bhāva** (emotions), the **Sthāna** of each **Leshyā**, in its form as **Prakarsha** and **Apakarsha**, are equal to the countless **Utsarpini** and **Avasarpini** periods of time, in relation to **Kāla** (time). In relation to **Kshetra** (space), the **Sthāna** are equal to the countless **Lokākāśa Pradesh**. It is also said that the number of **Sthāna** (alternatives) of **Leshyā** is equal to the number of periods of countless **Utsarpini** and **Avasarpini** or the number of regions of countless **Lokas** (worlds). However, it is noteworthy that the **Sthāna** of the three **Aśubha Bhāva Leshyā** (unfavorable emotional **Leshyā**) are **Sanklesha** (impure), while the **Sthāna** of the three **Śubha Bhāva Leshyā** (favorable emotional **Leshyā**) are **Viśuddha** (pure).
The **Dravya Samūha** (group of substances) that are the cause of these **Bhāva Leshyā** are also called **Sthāna**. Here, we should consider only those **Dravya Samūha** because this **Uddeshaka** (objective) deals with the **Prarūpa** (form) of **Krishnaādi Leshyā Dravya** (substances). These **Sthāna** are countless for each **Leshyā**.
**Tathāvidha** (similarly), countless **Dravya** (substances) that are the cause of a single **Pariṇāma** (transformation) are considered as one, due to their being the cause of one type of **Adhyavasāya** (determination). Each of them has two aspects: **Jaghanya** (inferior) and **Utkrisht** (superior). Those that are the cause of **Jaghanya Leshyā Sthāna** are called **Jaghanya**, and those that are the cause of **Utkrisht Leshyā Sthāna** are called **Utkrisht**. The **Madhyama Sthāna** (intermediate locations) that are adjacent to **Jaghanya Sthāna** are included in **Jaghanya**, and those that are adjacent to **Utkrisht Sthāna** are included in **Utkrisht**. These **Sthāna**, although being under the same **Mūla Sthāna** (original location), are countless due to the differences in **Pariṇāma** (transformation), **Guṇa** (qualities), and **Bheda** (differences).
In the **Ātmā** (soul), there are countless **Leshyā Pariṇāma Viśesha** (specific transformations of **Leshyā**) due to the **Upādhi** (limiting condition) of **Leshyā Dravya** (substance) with one more **Guṇa** (quality), two more **Guṇa**, etc. From a practical perspective, they are all called **Jaghanya** because they have fewer **Guṇa**. The **Sthāna** of the **Dravya** that are the cause of these **Leshyā** are also called **Jaghanya**. Similarly, the **Utkrisht Sthāna** should also be considered countless.
