## Knowledge Path/43
**Solution:** It is not a solution, because by adopting the *Paryayaathikanaya*, the substantiality of the regions is also established. The concept of regions is primarily based on the *Paryayaathikanaya*, therefore, by adopting the *Paryayaathikanaya*, the substantiality of the substance in the region has been established. 'Jambudvipa, Sarvarth Siddhi, Apratisthan Naraka and Nandishwar Dwipastha Ek Vapi, these are all equally one lakh yojana in extent, and are therefore *Kshetra Samavaya* (aggregate of space). Or, the first Indraka of the first Naraka, the Simantaka Bila, the Manushya Kshetra, the first Indraka of the Saudharma Kalpa, the Ritu Vimana, and the Siddhaloka, these four are *Kshetra Samavaya* (aggregate of space) because they are *Sana* (smaller) in relation to the *Kshetra* (space). Time, *Pravali*, *Kshan*, *Lab*, *Muhurta*, *Divas*, *Paksha*, *Masa*, *Ritu*, *Ayan*, *Yuga*, *Purva*, *Parva*, *Pay*, *Sagar*, *Abaspini*, and *Utsaspini* are all equal to each other. That is, one time is equal to another time. One *Pravali* is equal to another *Pravali*. Similarly, one should understand the rest. This is *Kala Samavaya* (aggregate of time). *Kevalgyan* is equal to *Kevaldarshan*, this is *Bhava Samavaya* (aggregate of perception).
**Explanation Prajnapti:** This text, with two lakh twenty-eight thousand verses, answers sixty thousand questions about what is a living being, what is not a living being, where a living being is born and from where it comes, etc., and describes the auspicious and inauspicious through sixty-nine thousand *Chinnacheda* (divisions).
**Nath Dharma Katha** or **Jat Dharma Katha**, with five lakh fifty-six thousand verses, describes the method of *Swadhyay* (self-study) through *Sutrapourushi* (scriptural authority), i.e., the method of delivering Dharmadeshana (religious discourse) by the divine sound of all languages in the present form without the movement of the tongue and lips of the Bhagwan Tirthankar, the method of destroying the doubts of the doubtful Ganadhardeva, and the nature of various stories and sub-stories.
**Doubt:** What is divine sound?
**Solution:** It is omni-lingual, it is both with and without letters, it contains infinite substances (it describes infinite substances), its body is made of seed-verses, it continuously flows for six hours each in the three periods of morning, noon, and evening, and it is the nature of this sound to remove the doubts, contradictions, and indecision of the Ganadhardeva, which they experience outside of these times, and it is clear in nature due to being free from the defects of *Sankara* (mixture) and *Vyatikar* (interference), and it is the nature of this sound to propagate Dharmakatha (religious stories) through nineteen (studies). This is how one should understand the divine sound.
**Upasakaadhyayan**, with eleven lakh seventy thousand verses, describes eleven types of Shravak Dharma (layman's religion). Here, the useful *Matha* is as follows:
"**Dasan-Yab-Samaiy-Posah-Sacchitt Raadibhatte Ya. Bamharambh-Pariggah-Anumanmuddiṭṭ Desaviradi Ya.**"
