many ākāśa-pradeśas is sapradeśa.
Kālädeśa (the standpoint of time)--with reference to time, a material entity enduring for one samaya (indivisible time-unit) is apradeśa; a material entity enduring for many samayas is sapradeśa.
Bhāvādeśa (the standpoint of mode)—with reference to mode, a material entity with one unit of colour, smell, taste and touch is apradeśa; a material entity with many units of colour, smell, taste and touch is sapradeśa.
Considered from the standpoint of the transformation, all entities are infinite in numbers.
[1] The Law of being Apradeśa and Sapradeśa with Reference to Substance
[a] What is apradeśa with reference to substance is necessarily apradeśa with reference to space. The reason is that a paramāņu can occupy only one pradeśa of space.
[b] With reference to time, it can be one samaya and also of infinite samayas in duration. So, in some respect it is apradeśa and in another respect it is sapradeśa.
[c] With reference to mode, it can be of one unit of colour etc. and also of many units of colour etc. So in some respect it is apradeśa and in other respect it is sapradeśa.
[2] The Law of being Apradeśa and Sapradeśa with Reference to Space
[a] In a single space-unit, there can be the occupation of one paramānu and also the occupation of clusters of two pradeśas, three pradeśas and so on ...... up to infinite number of pradeśas. So it is in some respect apradeśa and in another respect it is supradeśa.
[bc] The description of time and modes is similar to that of substance. A material entity, occupying one space-unit can be of the duration of one samaya and also of the duration of many samayas.
With reference to modes, it can be of one unit of colour, smell, taste and touch and also of many units of colour, smell, taste and touch. [3,4] The Law of being Apradeśa and Sapradeśa with Reference to Time
and Modes The description of time and modes is like that of space. What is apradeśa with reference to time can be with reference to substance in some respect apradeśa and in another respect sapradeśa. With also reference to space and modes, in some respect it can be apradeśa and in another respect sapradeśa. What is sapradeśa with reference to mode can be with reference to substance, space and time apradeśa in some respect and sapradeśa in some other respect.
[1] The Law of being sapradeśa and apradeśa with Reference to Substance
What is sapradeśa with reference to substance can occupy one space-unit and also many space-units. So with reference to space, in some respect it is apradeśa and in another respect it is sapradeśa.
With reference to time and modes, it can be sapradeśa as well as apradeśa. [2] The Law of being Sapradeśa and Apradeśa with Reference to Space With reference to substance, an apradeśa paramāņu can not occupy two or
