________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha (lokakasa) but many others do not undergo such expansion. Many (infinite) souls, due to association with wrong-belief (mithyadarsana), passions (kasaya) and activities (yoga), are the transmigrating (samsari) souls. And many (infinite) souls, rid of these - wrong-belief (mithyadarsana), passions (kasaya) and activities (yoga) - are the liberated (Siddha, mukta) souls. EXPLANATORY NOTE By the authority of the Scripture, infinite attributes - 'agurulaghuguna' - which maintain individuality of substances, are admitted. These undergo six different steps of infinitesimal changes of rhythmic rise and fall increase and decrease), called 'satgunahanivuddhi'. Origination (utpada) and destruction (vyaya) in substances are established by this internal cause. 1 That which is uncountable is innumerable (asamkhyata). Innumerable is of three kinds, the minimum, the maximum, and that which is neither the minimum nor the maximum (i.e., midway between the two). Here the third variety of innumerable is implied. A space-point (pradesa) is said to be the space occupied by an indivisible elementary particle (paramanu). The medium of motion (dharma), the medium of rest (adharma) and each individual soul (jiva) have the same innumerable (asamkhyata) space-points (pradesa). The media of motion and of rest are 'niskriya' - without activity - and co-extensive with the universe (loka). Though the soul has the same number of space-points as these two, still it is capable of contraction and expansion. So it occupies either a small body or a big one as determined by the karmas. 1- See also Vijay K. Jain (2018), Acarya Umasvami's Tattvarthasutra, p. 185; Pt.
