: 55: 48. Nanveka iti nisiddhah so'pi srute yadi srutam pramānam taval
Sutre sarvapradeśa bhaạitā jīvo na carama iti (2313) ]
Trans. 47-48. Just as the first portion is not jiva on account of its (quality of ) being pradesa, the last portion is also not jīva (for the same reason ). If it is said that the remaining portions are excluded from the (said ) cornmandment, but the last portion is not excluded, (The answer is this )- If the coinmandment is accepted as an authority (by you), that (the last portion ) is, also, in fact, excluded from the commandment by virtue of its being one. In the (said; commandment all the pradeśas (combined together ) have been stated as having jiva. Jiva does not, therefore, exist in the last portion alone (2342-2343).

टीका-४८ ननु सोऽप्यन्त्यप्रदेश श्रुते जीवत्वेन निषिद्धः । कुतः ? । इत्याह-एक इति कृत्वा । तथाहि-तत्रेवेत्थमुक्तम्-“एगे भन्ते ! जीवपएसे जीवे त्ति वत्तव्यं सिया ?। नो इणढे समढे" इति । ततो यदि श्रुतं तव प्रमाणम् , ततोऽन्त्यप्रदेशस्यापि जीवत्वं नेष्टव्यम् , एकत्वात् , प्रथमाद्यन्यतर प्रदेशवत् । किञ्च, यदि श्रुतं हन्त ! प्रमाणीकरोषि, तदा सर्वेऽपि जीवप्रदेशाः परिपूर्णा जीवत्वेन श्रुते भणिताः, न त्वेक एव चरमप्रदेशः । तथा च तत्रैवाभिहितम्-"जम्हाणं कसिणे पडिपुग्ने लोगागासपएसतुल्ले जीवे त्ति वत्तव्यं सिया"। अतः श्रुतप्रामाण्यमिच्छता भवता नैक एवान्त्यप्रदेशो जीवत्वेनैष्टव्य इति ॥२३४३
D. C. Ācārya -Like the first portion, the last portion also has no jīvatva on account of its quality of being a pradeśa.
Tisyagupta :-But that does not go against the main śruta or commandment. Because, the śruta excludes pradeśas such as the first one etc. from having jīvatva, where as the last pradeśa
