**Desavadhi** is not a subject, as it is situated outside the **Dravyaskandha** which is the subject of **Jghanya**.
**Doubt:** What is the evidence for the **Utkrishta Skandha** being the subject of **Jghanya**?
**Solution:** The **Pudgal Skandha** that resides within the **Jghanya Pravadhi Kshetra** is its **Utkrishta Dravya**. Even though one, two, three, and so on, up to infinite atoms are connected to their **Utkrishta Dravya**, they are not knowable by **Jghanya Jnana**. This is because they are situated in the **Bahya Kshetra** due to the **Udyot** of **Jghanya Avadhi Jnana**.
The **Jghanya Kshetra** of **Jghanya Desavadhi** is one part of the **Praman Desavadhi** obtained by dividing the **Palyopama** into an **Asankhyata** number of parts within the **Utsedha Dhanangula**.
**Doubt:** How do we know this?
**Solution:** "**Shrogahana Niyama Du Suham-Gioda-Jovast. Addehi Taddehi Jahaniya Khettdo Prohi.**" (4)
- The **Jghanya Avadhi** is in proportion to the **Jghanya Shravagahana** of a **Vid Ji**. In other words, if we establish an **Utsedha Dhanangula** and divide it into an **Asankhyata** number of parts, the **Jghanya Shravagahana** of a **Sukhsma Nigoda Labdhyaparyaptak Jeeva** who consumes food in the third moment and becomes **Tadbhavastha** in the third moment is equal to one part of the **Praman** obtained. The **Jghanya Avadhi Jnana** is in proportion to this **Shravagahana**.
**Doubt:** The **Shravagahana** of a **Sukhsma Nigoda Labdhyaparyaptak Jeeva** is also the **Sanjna** of one **Prakash Pankti**. Why don't we accept **Jghanya Avadhi Jnana** in proportion to that **Praman**?
**Solution:** No, because the **Jghanya** adjective is used to describe the **Shravagahana**. It is not correct to say that one **Prakash Pankti** is **Jghanya Shravagahana**, because the completion of the sentence in the sense of **Samudaya** is preferred. Therefore, all the **Akasha Pradeshas** within the **Shravagahana** of the **Sukhsma Nigoda Labdhyaparyaptak Jeeva** are included.
**Doubt:** How do we know that the completion of the sentence in the sense of **Shravayavara** is not accepted here?
**Solution:** We know this from the **Aviruddha Upadesha** received from the **Pracharya Parampara**.
Therefore, the **Jghanya Avadhi Jnana** is in proportion to the **Jghanya Shravagahana**. This is proven.
