(3) KSHETRANUPURVI : KSHETRA-DVAR
152. (Question 1) In what area or section of the universe (occupied space) do the naigam-vyavahar naya sammat kshetranupurvidravya (area-sequential substances conforming to coordinated and particularized viewpoints) exist. Are they in its countable fraction ? Are they in its uncountable (infinitesimal) fraction ? Are they in its countable sections ? Are they in its uncountable sections ? or Are they in the whole universe ?
(Answer) With respect to a single substance they exist _in (1) countable fractions of the universe, (2) in its
uncountable (infinitesimal) fractions, (3) in its countable sections, (4) in its uncountable sections, (5) and in slightly less than the whole universe. But with respect to many substances, as a rule, they occupy the whole universe.
(२) अणाणुपुब्बीदव्वाणं पुच्छा, एगं दबं पुडुच्च नो संखिज्जइभागे होज्जा, असंखिज्जइभागे होज्जा, नो संखेजेसु. नो असंखेजेसु. नो सबलोए होज्जा, नाणादव्वाइं पुडुच्च नियमा सव्वलोए होज्जा।
१५२. (प्रश्न २) नैगम-व्यवहारनयसम्मत अनानुपूर्वी द्रव्य के विषय में भी यही प्रश्न है।
(उत्तर) एक द्रव्य की अपेक्षा संख्यातवें भाग में, संख्यात भागों में, असंख्यात भागों में अथवा सर्वलोक में अवगाढ नहीं हैं किन्तु असंख्यातवें भाग में हैं तथा अनेक द्रव्यों की अपेक्षा सर्वलोक में व्याप्त हैं।
152. (Question 2) The same question is repeated for ananupurvi dravya (non-sequential substances).
(Answer) With respect to a single substance (a paramanu), they do not exist in a countable fraction, countable sections, uncountable sections of the universe or the whole universe but exist only in its uncountable (infinitesimal) fraction. But with respect to many substances, as a rule, they occupy the whole universe. आनुपूर्वी प्रकरण
