Bhagavai 5:8:201-208
-: 313 :
more space-units, so what is sapradeśa with reference to space is necessarily sapradeśa with reference to substance. With reference to time and mode, it is in some respect sapradessa and in some respect apradeśa. [3,4] The Law of being Sapradeśa and Apradeśa with Reference to Time
and Mode The description with reference to time and mode is the same as that with reference to substance.
The Relative Numerical Strength of a Sapradeśa and Apradeśa Entity
[1] The material entity of one unit of colour, smell, taste and touch are very few in number. So, with reference to mode, the apradeśa material entities are the least in number.
[2] With reference to time, the material entities of the duration of one samaya are of many transformation of colour, smell, taste, touch, integration, disintegration, subtleness, grossness etc. In every transformation, with reference to the duration of one samaya, they are apradeśa. So, the apradeśa entities with reference to time are innumerable times in comparison with those with reference to modes.?
[3] With reference to substance, a paramāņu is apradeśa. Parumāņus with many units of the qualities of colour etc. are more in number than the paramānus with one unit of the qualities of colour etc. Thus considered the apradeśa entities with reference to the substance are innumerable times more.
The use of the word "pradeśa" is available for the smallest atom-like (indivisible) part, and also in the sense of cluster. A paramāņu attached to a cluster is called pradeśa. The atom-like part of space is called pradeśa. The word pradeśa is used also in the context of time and mode. In the Tattvārtha Sūtra, the use of the word pradeśa has been made in the sense of cluster.
