Vada ] Nihnavavada
: 179: ____On the other hand, the soul is, also, not able to apprehend an object which is suksma or extremely minute in form.
Like the atoms of jiva in the Kārmaņa state, Jiva itself is not affected by spear, sword etc. or by fire, water etc. on the strength of the Satras mentioned before.
Rohagupta :-Just as a separate piece of ghata fallen in the street, is known as no-ghata (or a part of ghata), why should tails etc of jivas like house-lizard etc. be.not taken as no-jivas (parts of Jīva ) when they have already been cut off from the respective main body?
Acārya :—No. It is not proper to do so. 171 (2466)
For,
दव्यामुत्तत्ताकयभावादविकारदरिसणाओ य ।
अविणासकारणाहि य नभसो व्व न खंडसो नासो॥१७२॥२४६७.। 172. Davvānuttattākayabhavādavikáradarisaņāö yai
Aviņāsakāranāhi ya nabhaso vya na khandaso nāso. (2467) [द्रव्यामूर्तत्वावकृतभावादविकारदर्शनाच। अविनाशकारणाच नभस इव न खण्डशो नाशः ॥१७२॥२४६॥ 172. Dravyāmurtatvādakritabhāvādavikāradarśanācca 1
Avinasakaranācca nabhasa iva na khandaso nasah. (2467)]
Trans. 172. Since the matter (of which jīva is formed ) is abstract, and since it is immutable, indestructible, and sport taneous, like sky, it could not be destroyed by part. (2467)
