: 209: ___D. C. If clod is not taken as earth, then, on saying that "Give (us) earth" the whole of earth should be supplied by him. But that is impossible. Even Indra will not be able to bring the whole of earth; what, then, to talk of the capacity of ordinary deities such as the one at the Kutrikāpana etc. ? 203 (2498)
Hence, जह घडमाणय भणिए न हि सव्वाणयसंभवो किंतु । देसाइविसिह चिय तमत्थवसओ समप्पेइ ॥२०४॥२४९९॥ पुडवि ति तहा भनिए तदेगदेसे वि पमरणक्साओ। लेटुम्मि जायइ मई जहा तहा खेट्छुदेसे वि ॥२०५३२५००। 204. Jaha ghadamāņaya bhanic na hi savvānayasamblaavo kintu 1

Trans. 204–205. Just as, on saying “Bring ghata ", there is no possibility of bringing all (ghats ) but he gives (only ) that one (which is) characterised by place etc. by means of usage, so also, on demand of 'prithvi', the purpose being attached to one of its parts, (the deity ) is inclined (to give) the ciod and consequently a piece of clod.
