(in the universe) ? :
(Answer 1) Gautam ! In terms of dravya (substance), naigam-vyavahar naya sammat avaktavya dravya (inexpressible substances conforming to coordinated and particularized viewpoints) are least in the universe; in terms of substance, ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances are much more than avaktavya (inexpressible) substances; and in terms of substance, anupurvi (sequential) substances are uncountable times more than ananupurvi (nonsequential) substances.
(२) पएसट्टयाए सवत्थोवाइं गम-ववहाराणं अणाणुपुब्बीदव्वाई अपएसट्टयाए, अवत्तव्बयदव्वाइं पएसट्टयाए विसेसाहियाई, आणुपुब्बीदव्वाई पएसट्ठयाए असंखेज्जगुणाई।
(२) प्रदेशार्थता की अपेक्षा नैगम और व्यवहारनयसम्मत अनानुपूर्वीद्रव्य अप्रदेशी होने के कारण सर्वस्तोक-अल्प है। प्रदेशार्थता की अपेक्षा अवक्तव्यक द्रव्य अनानुपूर्वी द्रव्यों से विशेषाधिक हैं और आनुपूर्वी द्रव्य प्रदेशार्थता की अपेक्षा अवक्तव्यक द्रव्यों से असंख्यातगुण हैं।
(2) In terms of pradesh (space-points), as they are apradeshi (devoid of space-points), naigam-vyavahar naya sammat ananupurvi (non-sequential substances conforming to coordinated and particularized viewpoints) are least in the universe; in terms of space-points, avaktavya dravya (inexpressible substances) are much more than ananupurvi (non-sequential) substances; and in terms of space-points anupurvi (sequential) substances are infinite times more than avaktavya (inexpressible) substances. गनुपूर्वी प्रकरण
