Nihnavavāda कालयोरेकत्वात्, अन्यथा पूर्वोक्तदोषप्रसङ्गात् । ततःक्रियमाणं कृतमेव भवति । एवं प्रस्तुतः संस्तारकोऽपि नाघसमयात् सर्वोऽपि संस्तरीतुमारभ्यते, किन्त्वपरापरे तदवयवाः प्रतिसमयमास्तीर्यन्ते, तेषां च मध्ये यो यत्र समयेऽवयवः संस्तरीतुमारभ्यते, तत्रैव च निष्पद्यत इति संस्तीर्यमाणं संस्तीर्णमेव भवतीति ॥२३२१॥
D. C. When a particular bed is spread on & particular place at a particular time, it is said to have been spread at that time and place to a particular extent, and is also said to be under the process of being spread. That is to say, while some part of the bed has already been spread, another part is being spread. So, it is pointless to say that the whole bed has been spread. And, the theory of “ Kriyamānam kritam” preached by Šramaņa Bhagavān Mahāvīra seems wrong to me.
Sthaviras :-0 Jamāli! You have not been able to grasp the real purport, of the Bhagavan's doctrines and that is why it seems wrong to you. The words of Bhagavan are propera sarvanayātmaka13 and hence it is possible to believe from the point of view of vyavahāra 14 that kriyamāņa is not krita. But according to niscaya naya, 18 satras like “calamāṇe calite" are preached and from this point of view, axions like kriyamāņam kritam” and “samstīryamāņam samstīrņam” are justified.
It should be carefully noted that the production of ghata does not start from the very first moment, but since Kriya-kåla (period of production) and niştha-kala (period of completion) are the same, different kāryas are produced at different times and each one of them is completed at the same tiine when it has started being produced. Otherwise,the faults mentioned before, would certainly arise. Taking the case of bed, we can say that the bed itself is not being spread in the beginning, but its different parts are spread one after the other. Each one of those parts is being spread at one moment as has also been spread at the same moment according to our theory “ Kriyamānam kritam.” The bed, as a whole, is said to
