other substances in the universe with respect to substance (mass), pradesh (space-points or volume) and both combined. Dravyarth or with respect to substance means by taking into account each anupurvi (sequential) and other substances. With respect to substance the avaktavya inexpressible) substances are minimum. This is because the chances of integration and disintegration of aggregates of two paramanus (ultimate-particles) are minimal. As compared to these ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances are much more because the chances of integration of free paramanus (ultimate-particles) to form substances are much more. As compared to these two, anupurvi (sequential) substances are uncountable times more because aggregates of three paramanus (ultimate-particles) or triads are available in abundance, moreover it is the most stable state of substances in nature. Also, an ananupurvi (nonsequential) substance or a paramanu (ultimate-particle) and avaktavya (inexpressible) substance require just one space-point to exist whereas anupurvi (sequential) substances from an aggregate of three to infinite paramanus (ultimate-particles) require infinite space-points to exist. That is why the anupurvi (sequential) substances are said to be uncountable times more as compared to the ananupurvi (non-sequential) and avaktavya (inexpressible) substances.
With respect to pradesh (space-points) the ananupurvi (nonsequential) substances are said to be minimum. If the ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances could be accepted as having two or more space-points it could be believed that they are more as compared to avaktavya (inexpressible) substances. But being the smallest indivisible particle of matter a paramanu (ultimate-particle) in its free existence is devoid of space-points (not counting the space-point it occupies) and therefore with respect to space-points the ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances are minimum.
