Notes
Emanation by Omniscient
When the physique-making, status determining and feeling producing karmas of an omniscient are comparatively more than the remaining age determining karma, he activates the process of Kevali samudghāta in order to equalize them. During the first instant (samaya) he expands the space-points of his soul in stick-shape having the width of his body and covering the whole expanse of universe in length. During the second instant he expands it in all directions in door-shape. During the third instant he expands it in the shape of a churning-stick. During the fourth instant he fills up all the empty space and envelopes the whole lokākāśa with the space-points of his soul. During the fifth to seventh instants he starts shrinking in reverse order. During the eighth all the space-points retract into his body.
