Bhagavai 5:1:13-16 Jambūdvipa, there is the first samaya (the ultimate indivisible time-unit ) of rain, is there also the first samaya of rain at that time in the northern half? When there is the first samaya of rain in the northern half, is there at that time in the east and west of the Mount Meru in the Island of Jambūdvīpa the first samaya of the rain immediately after the first samaya of (occurrence) of the rain? Yes, Gautama! when there is the first samaya of rain in the southern half of Mount Meru in the Island of Jambūdvīpa, there is ..... up to the first
samaya of the rain. 5.14 jayā nam bhamte! jambuddīve dīve mamdarassa pavvayassa puratthime
nam vāsāņam padhame samae padivajjai, tayā nam paccatthime navi vāsānam padhame samae padivajjai; jayā nam paccatthime nam vāsānam padhame samae padivvajai, tayā nam jambuddive dīve mamdarassa pavvayassa uttara-dāhine nam anamtarapacchākadasamayamsi vāsānam padhame samae padivanne bhavai? hamtā goyamā! jayā ņam jambuddīve dīve mamdarassa pavvayassa puratthime ņam evam ceva uccăreyavvam jāva padivanne bhavai. O Lord! when there is the first samaya of rain in the eastern part of the Mount Meru in the Island of Jambūdvīpa, is there also the first samaya of rain in the western part? When there is first samaya of rain in the western part, is there at that time in the northern and southern parts of the Mount Meru in the Island of Jambūdvīpa, the first samaya of the rain immediately after the first samaya of (occurance of) the rain, with respect to the first samaya of rain in the pūrvavideha and aparavideha? Yes, Gautama! when there is the first samaya of rain in the eastern part of the Mount Meru in the Island of Jambūdvīpa, ...... the complete text is to be
reproduced up to aparavideha. 5.15 evam jahā samaenam abhilāvo bhanio vāsānam tahā āvaliyāevi bhāniyavvo.
āņāpāņūvi, thovenavi, lavenavi, muhuttenavi, ahorattenavi, pakkhenavi, māseņavi, uünnavi, eesim savvesim jahā samayassa abhilovā tahā bhāniyavvo. Similarly, just like the description of the rain with reference to a samaya, the description of rain should be spoken with reference to avalikā, āņāpāņa,
stoka, lava, muhurtta, ahorātra, fortnight, month and season. 5.16 jayā nam bhamte! jambuddive dīve mamdarassa pavvayassa dāhinaddhe
hemamtānam padhame samae padivajjai, jaheva vāsānam, abhilāvo taheva hemamtānam vi, gimhāna vi, bhāniyavvo jāva uue. evam, tinni vi. eesim tisam ālāvagā bhāniyavvā. O Lord! when there is the first samaya of the winter in the southern half of the Mount Meru in the Island of Jambūdvīpa...... Here the same dialogue as in the case of samaya of rains is to be described with reference to winter,
