________________ measure of grains contained in two hands flatly joined, half of that, at one-fourth of that, one-eighth, one-sixteenth, one-thirty twoeth, one sixty fourth of that (chausasthiye) [for meaning of words see Anuyogdvar Sutra] as cover of the lamp. Then that lamp shall lighten only the inner space of the cover and not the outer space. It shall not light up the outside space other than one-sixty fourth, nor o the outer space of the house. O Pradeshi ! Thus due to the karmas accumulated in the al present life-span, the Jiva (soul) gets small (kshudra) or large (mehat) body. It is the nature of the soul to spread or contract the soul-atoms according to the size of the body. So it spreads unlimited soul-atoms. So Pradeshi ! You should trust it, you should believe that soul and body are different. Soul is not body and body is not soul." * परम्परागत मान्यता का निराकरण २६६. तए णं पएसी राया केसि कुमारसमणं एवं वयासीएवं खलु भंते ! मम अजगस्स एस सन्ना जाव समोसरणे जहा-तज्जीवो तं सरीरं, नो अन्नो जीवो अन्नं सरीरं। तयाणंतरं च णं ममं पिउणो वि एस सण्णा, तयाणंतरं मम वि एसा सण्णा जाव समोसरणं, तं नो खलु अहं बहुपुरिसपरंपरागयं कुलनिस्सियं दिद्धिं छंडेस्सामि। २६६. प्रदेशी राजा ने केशीकुमार श्रमण से कहा___"भदन्त ! आपने बताया सो ठीक, किन्तु मेरे पितामह की यही धारणा-मान्यता व बुद्धि थी, सिद्धान्त था कि जो जीव है वही शरीर है, जो शरीर है वही जीव है। जीव शरीर से भिन्न नहीं और शरीर जीव से भिन्न नहीं है। पितामह के बाद मेरे पिता की भी ऐसी ही संज्ञा यावत् ऐसा ही सिद्धान्त था और उनके बाद मेरी भी यही मान्यता है। तो फिर अनेक पुरुषो (पीढियो) एवं कुल-परपरा से चली आ रही अपनी मान्यता को कैसे छोड़ दूँ ?'
