point meant for ananupurvi (non-sequential) and two for avaktavya (inexpressible). In other words, setting aside one and two space-points meant for ananupurvi (non-sequential) and avaktavya (inexpressible) respectively, all the remaining spacepoints in the universe are anupurvi (sequential). Thus it should be accepted that in context of kshetranupurvi (area-sequence) when we consider a single anupurvi (sequential substance, it occupies slightly less than the whole universe.
A single ananupurvi (non-sequential) substance is said to occupy an inexpressible fraction of universe because ananupurvi
non-sequential) substance has been defined only as a particle occupying a single space-point which in turn is only an inexpressible fraction of the universe.
Multiple ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances are said to be occupying the whole universe because a variety of ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances occupying unit space-points are spread all over the universe.
The purpose of stating that 'the same is true for avaktavya (inexpressible) substances' is that a single avaktavya (inexpressible) substance occupies only an inexpressible fraction of the universe. This is because a substance occupying two spacepoints is defined as avaktavya (inexpressible). Two space-points are just an inexpressible fraction of uncountable space-points constituting the universe. Also a variety of avaktavya (inexpressible) substances occupying two space-points are spread all over the universe. (४) अनुगम के अनुसार स्पर्शना प्ररूपणा
