This Pracharanga describes the methods of conduct, scriptural purity, the five committees, and the distinctions of the three secrets. It describes the conduct of the monks in this way.
The Sutra Kritanga, with its thirty-six thousand (26,000) verses, describes the purification of knowledge and conduct, understanding, what is and what is not possible, the removal and establishment of doubts, and the actions of behavioral dharma, from all directions. It also describes the present and the past time. This Anga describes the characteristics of women, such as their consequences, their tendency to be fickle, their lack of clarity, their passion for desire, their indulgence, their enjoyment of pleasure, and their desire for men.
The **Sthananga** describes the locations of the soul and matter, starting with one and going up to one hundred and one, in forty-two thousand verses. For example:
> "One is the great soul, two is the perception, it is said. Four is the combination of migrations, five is the destruction of the five senses. Six is the combination of six directions, seven is the combination of seven, eight is the possibility of seven categories. Nine is the wandering soul, ten is the filling of the ten substances."
This soul is one because of its great, imperishable, conscious nature, or because of its common characteristic of being used by all souls. It is of two types because of its knowledge and perception, its worldly and liberated nature, or its potential and actual nature. It is of three types because of its knowledge consciousness, karma consciousness, and karma-fruit consciousness, or because of its creation, destruction, and permanence, or because of its substance, qualities, and modifications. It is of four types because of its four migrations in hell, etc. It is of five types because of its five states, such as the ascetic, etc. It is of six types because of its six movements in the six directions of east, west, south, north, up, and down at the time of death. It is of seven types because its good nature is proven by the seven categories. It is of eight types because of its eight karmas, such as the veil of knowledge, etc., or because of its eight karmas or the eight qualities of right faith, etc. It is of nine types because of its nine forms of transformation. It is of ten types because of its ten locations, such as earth, water, fire, air, each and every plant, two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, and five-sensed.
The **Samavayanga** considers the sameness of all substances in one hundred and sixty-four thousand (164,000) verses. This sameness is of four types, according to substance, space, time, and state. The first, substance sameness, is described as follows: "The substance of dharma, the substance of adharma, the space of the universe, and the space of one soul are all the same."
**Doubt:** How can space be considered substance?
