"It has infinite forms." Because the propositions of this Drishtivada are infinite. It has both Tadubhayavaktvyata (both self-time and other-time statements).
This Drishtivada Anga has five authorities: Parikarma, Sutra, Prathamanuyoga, Purvagata, and Chulika. Among them, Parikarma has five divisions: Chandraprajnapti, Suryaprajnapti, Jambudvipaprajnapti, Dvipasagaraprajnapti, and Vyakhyaprajnapti.
The Parikarma called Channaprapti describes the age, family, prosperity, speed, and height of the moon's disc, etc., through thirty-six lakh five thousand verses. The Parikarma called Suryaprajnapti describes the age, enjoyment, consumption, family, prosperity, speed, height of the sun's disc, increase and decrease of the day, the measure of rays, and light, etc., through five lakh three thousand verses. The Parikarma called Jambudvipaprajnapti describes the various types of humans and other beings like Tiryanch, as well as mountains, rivers, platforms, years, seasons, natural temples, etc., in the Jambudvipa, through three lakh twenty-five thousand verses. The Parikarma called Dvipasagaraprajnapti describes the measure of islands and oceans from the Uddharapalya, and the various other substances contained within the islands and oceans, through fifty-two lakh thirty-six thousand verses. The Parikarma called Vyakhyaprajnapti describes the material substance called Pudgala, the immaterial substance called Dharma, Adharma, Akasha, and Kala, the liberated and non-liberated souls, through eighty-four lakh thirty-six thousand verses.
The Sutra, which is the authority of the Drishtivada Anga, describes the soul as the manager, the non-stainer, the non-doer, the non-enjoyer, the attributeless, the atomic, the non-existent, the existent, the soul arising from the combination of the five elements, the non-conscious, the conscious without knowledge, the eternal, the non-eternal, etc., through eighty-four lakh verses. It also describes the three hundred wrong views of the Kriyavadis, Atriavadis, Agnanavadis, and Vinayavadis, as well as the Rasikavada, Niyativada, Vigyanavada, Shabdavada, Pradhanavada, Dravyavada, and Purushavada. It is also said:
"Aṭṭhāsi-pahiyāresu 'ghaūṇhamahiyāraṇamattharinaḍḍeso. Paḍhamo prabandhayāṇaṁ vidio terāsiyāṇa boddhanvo." ||36||
"In the eighty-four authorities of this Sutra, the meaning of four authorities is found. The first authority should be understood as the managers, the second as the Trairasikavadis, the third as the Niyativadis, and the fourth as the representative of self-time."
