: 56: Jinabhadra Gani's
[The second is not exeluded like that. So, why should we not take the last pradleśa as having jīvatva ?
The Acārya :-The last portion is also excluded from the śruta on account of its being a single pradeśa. I would also like to draw your attention to the statement therin, that all the pradleśas combined together would form jwa, while one single last pradesa cannot do so. It has been stated, therefore, that “ Jamha ņam kasiņo padipanne Logāgāsapaesa-tulle jivotti vattavyany siyā.”
Since you take this śruta as an authority, you cannot take the last portion alone as jīva. 47-48 (2342–2343).
The same idea is then illustrated as follows :
तंतू पडोवयारी न समत्तपडो य समुदिया ते उ। सम्वे समत्तपडओ सव्वपएसा तहा जीवो॥४९॥२३४४॥
49. Tanta padovayāri na samattapaļo ya samudiyā te u
Savve samattapağaö savvapaesā tahā jīvo (2344).
इतन्तुः पटोपकारी न समस्तपटश्च समुदितास्ते तु। सर्वे समस्तपटकः सर्वप्रदेशास्तथा जीवः ॥४९॥२३४४॥
49. Tantun patopakāri na samastapatasca samuditāste tut
Sarve samasta patakah sarvapradeśāstathā jīvah (2344) ]
Trans, 49. Thread is a (helping ) constituent of pata, but it is not the whole pata itself. They are said to be pața (only) when they (i. e all the threads) are combined to. gether The same is the case with jiva and (its) constitu. ents. 2344.
टीका-४९ एकस्तन्तुर्भवति समस्तपटोपकारी, तमप्यन्तरेण समस्तपटस्यामावात् । परंस सकतन्तुः समस्तपटो न भवति किन्तु ते तन्तका सर्वेऽपि समुदिताः समस्तपटव्यपदेश लभन्त इति प्रतीतमेव । तथा जीवप्रदेशोऽप्येको
