Cangeya :--Bhagavan! Are hellish beings, who are sat (really existing as a dravya) produced, or those who are a-sat (non-existent) produced? Similarly are tiryancas (brutes) manusyas (human beings) and dévas (gods) who are sat (really existing as a dravya ) produced, or those who are a-sat (nonexistent) produced?
Bhagavāna:--Gangéya! All of them are produced from sat; none is produced from a-sat.
Gangéya:--Bhagavan! Do Narakas (hellish beings ) tiryancas (lower animals) and manusyas (human beings), die sat or do they die a-sat Do the dévas die sat or do they die a sat?
Bhagavana :-Gangéya ! All of them die or leave heavens as sat; none dies or leaves the heaven as a-sat.
Gängéya Bhagavan! How can it be? How is sat produced and where is the sat (existence) of those who have died ?
Bhagavana --Gangéya! Tirthankara Bhagavana Śri Pārsva Natha Swami has said that-Lokha is, śāśvata ( eternal) In it, sarvatha asat (that which is totally non-existent) cannot be produced and sat (that which is existing) cannot be destoryed
Gângéya :--Bhagavan! Do you know, and see with your own eyes the nature of all objects or do you know it by logical inference, or through the medium of Sayings of Saints ?
