The division of this infinitely expansive space (ākāśa) which accommodates the souls ( jīva), the matter (pudgala), the medium of motion (dharmastikāya), the medium of rest (adharmāstikāya), and the time (kāla), is the universe-space (lokākāśa). In the infinite space (ākāśa) beyond, these five substances do not permeate; this is the non-universe-space (alokākāśa).
