## Gacha 384-387
## Shanmarma/41
He who knows an innumerable part of time, in comparison to the **pavali**, knows it because that is his nature. He knows the past and future substances within an innumerable part of the **pavali** as a measure of time. This is the meaning. When an innumerable part of the **pavali** is divided by the **pavali**, the time of the **jghanya** duration is only an innumerable part of the **pavali**. In such a short time, the **jghanya** duration knower knows what has happened and what is going to happen.
**Doubt:** Is this the only time, as it is known?
**Solution:** The **jghanya** space and time are respectively equal to an innumerable part of the **ghanangul** and **pavali** (Gacha 404). This is known from the statement of this Gatha Sutra.
**Jghanya** meaning: It is said that the **jghanya** duration knower knows all the **paryayas** of form, taste, smell, and touch, etc., which are located on the **jghanya** substance, from the innumerable part of the **paryayas** that are objectified by the **jghanya** duration knower, out of the infinite present **paryayas** of the substance that he knows. But this does not happen, because they are infinite. And even the **utkrista** duration knower is not capable of knowing an infinite number. Because there is an influence of such teachings in the Agamas.
**Doubt:** How will the **avadhi** knower know the substance directly, if he does not know the infinite **paryayas** located in the substance directly?
**Solution:** No, because the said **avadhi** knower is the recipient of the specific substance from the innumerable **paryaya** elements, leaving aside the infinite number that reside in the elements of the **paryaya**.
**Doubt:** Why is the term '**bhaava**' not used for the past and future **paryayas**?
**Solution:** It is not used because they are accepted as time.
The alternatives of space and time knowledge are **avaroddhādya** to **uvarimattavva** **viyappa** in relation to the fourfold category of substance, etc. The final part of the **dhūvahara** is the **abhavasi** **siddhādara** **pantu** **guna**. ||384|| The **dhūvahara** is the **karma** **vagga** **rana** **gana** **gara** **karma** **vagana** **gani** **de**. The **samaya** **pabaddha** **pamanam** is to be known in the **prohi** **visayamhi**. ||385|| The **manadava** **vaggana** **viyappana** **antima** **samam** **kha** **dhūvahara**. The **avarukka** **sasa** **visesa** **ruvahiya** **tabiya** **ppa** **hu**. ||386|| The **pravara** is **aranama** **pratha** **bhage** **rana** **ahiya** **mukkasam**. ||387|| 1. V.
