(4) Satth-weapon; that which hits or destroys is called a weapon. At the micro level, a mere mixing of two types of organisms is fatal for them.
Annatth Satth Parinaenam means that as long as it does not come in contact with a weapon or other fatal thing, such a cluster of living organisms is a living thing. The moment such contact is made, it becomes non-living.
There are three types of weapons-(1) Swakaya-of the same type. For example, if one type of sand is mixed with another type of sand, it is fatal for organisms in both. (2) Parkaya-of different types. For example, if water is mixed with sand it is fatal for organisms in both. (3) Ubhayakaya-of mixed types. For example, if a mixture of water and one type of sand is mixed with another type of sand it is fatal for organisms in both.
Aneg jiva pudhosatta-Micro-organisms cannot be normally seen or felt. What is visible is the clustered gross form like a lump of sand, a rock, a mountain, a pond, a river, embers, flame, wind, tree, large vegetables, etc. These visible forms are made up of an aggregate of numerous micro-organisms. That is why these visible things are called the clusters (pind) of numerous independently existing living beings. (Dashavaikalik commentary by Acharya Shri Atmaram ji M.)
५. आऊ चित्तमंतमक्खाया अणेगजीवा पुढोसत्ता अन्नत्थ सत्थपरिणएणं ।
जब तक शस्त्र द्वारा परिणत न हो जाय तब तक अप् अथवा जल को चित्तवान् या सजीव कहा गया है और वह ऐसे अनेक जीवों का आश्रय भी है, जिन सबका स्वतन्त्र अस्तित्त्व है ॥५ ॥
5. As long as it is not violated by a weapon, water is said to be conscious or living, and it is also teeming with numerous living organisms having independent existence.
