[The second “No, that is not the correct viuw. A living being even one portion less, cannot be said to be Jiva. It could be called Jīva only if it is complete (in form) like Loka and Akasa."
Tasyagupta did not know that this statement was true only from one point of view, and not from all points of view. He, therefore, misinterpreted the above-mentioned ālāpaka and formed a wrongly-based theory as a result of that. 40 (2335)
