COMPARATIVE CHART OF QUANTUM OF SUBSTANCES
TAKE FOUR SUBSTANCES FOR EXAMPLE
Aggregates of one (*), two (**), three (***), and four (****) pradesh (space-points) or paramanu (ultimate-particle).
(a) Ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances : the aforesaid four substances on disintegration could form a maximum of 10 configurations of ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances or paramanus (ultimate-particles) as follows :
* ** *** **** (1)* (1) * (1) * (1) * (1) * (1) * (1) * (1) * (1) * (1) * = (10)-maximum ten probabilities
(b) Avaktavya (inexpressible) substances : the same four substances on disintegration and reintegration have possibilities of forming only five avaktavya (inexpressible) substances or aggregates of two paramanus (ultimate-particles):
* ** *** (1+1)** (1+1)** (1+1)** (1+1)** (1+1)** = (10)-maximum five probabilities
****
(c) Anupurvi (sequential) substances : the same four substances on disintegration and reintegration have possibilities of forming 14 anupurvi (sequential) substances or aggregates of three or more paramanus (ultimate-particles)
* ** *** **** (i) (1)+(1+1)* ** (1+1)+(1) ** * (1+1+1)+(1) *** *
= (10)—3 probabilities आनुपूर्वी प्रकरण
