Bhagavai 6:7:133-134
- 443 :
sūcī angula = (addhāpalya) log, addhāpalya
What should be the units of sūcī angula and addhāpalya is not given here, but by logic (reasoning)22 we find that they should be pradeśa and samaya because both of them are the units of measurement of space and time respectively. In this way, if sūcī angula be x pradeśa and addhāpalya be 'p' samaya, then
x=p (logp)
Second equation relates jagaśreņi (the cosmic row of space-units which measures seven rajjus) and addhāpalya.23 Jagaśreņī is equal to ghanāngula (a three dimensional space-unit) raised to the power logarithm to the base two innumerableth fraction of addhāpalya.
log, addhāpalya Jagaśreni = (ghanangula) innumerable Here, ghanāngula means cube of sūcī angula, i.e., cube of the number of pradeśas of sūcī angula.
If Jagaśreni = 'j'pradesa and innumerable = a, then
(10g.p))
j= (x3) Joining both the equations, we get:
(log,p)(3 log,p) j=p
=p
Sāgaropama
Ten crore-crore24 (crore x crore) palyopamas make one sāgarapama. Palyopama is classified into (i) bādara uddhāra, (ii) sūksma uddhāra, (iii) bādara addhā, (iv) sūksma addhā, (v) vyavahāra-uddhāra, (vi) vyavahāra-addhā divisions, similar divisions; exist in the case of sāgaropama. According to Svetāmbara Tradition
10 crore-crore bādara uddhāra palyopamas = 1 bādara uddhāra sägaropama 10 crore-crore sūksma uddhāra palyopamas = 1 sūksma uddhāra sāgaropama 10 crore-crore bādara addhā palyopamas = 1 bādara addhā sāgaropama 10 crore-crore sūksma addhā palyopamas = 1 sūksma addhā sāgaropama
