## Gatha 568
## Samyaktvamarga-rana/637
**Samadhana** - Just as the light of many lamps in a storeroom, the gold in a hidden Nagaras's lump, the honey in a pot filled with camel's milk, and the sound of victory cries and bells, etc., in a cellar, find space due to the quality of penetration, similarly, in the countless regions of the universe, countless beings and other things can also find space.
**Avagahanam Payasam Jivaadi Savvadavyanaam ||30|| [Niyamasara]** - The substance that is the cause of penetration of all substances, including beings, is the space substance.
**Sayalaanam Davyaanam Jam Dad Sakkade Hi Pravagasam. Tam Ayasam Duviham Loyaloyaan Bhayen ||213|| [Swamikatikayanupreksha]** - The substance that is capable of giving space to all substances is the space substance, which is of two types due to the difference between the world and the underworld.
The specific description of the nature of the time substance is being done by the author himself in the previous Gatha 56, so it is not done here.
**Kal Duvya Yattanhedoo Kalo Vattan Gunam Aviya Dabarinchayesu. Kalaadhaareneva Ya Vattati Hu Savyadadhyaani ||568|| Gathaarth** - Time is that which is the cause of the existence of things. Even though substances have the quality of change, all substances exist based on time, meaning they change through their own cycles. ||568||
**Vishesharth** - It is the nature of every substance to undergo change. The external cause of that change is the time substance.
**Jivaadi Davyaanam Parivattan Karana Hav Kalo || Purvardha Gatha 33||** - The time substance is the cause of the change in the form of existence of beings and other substances. The main time, which has the characteristic of causing existence, is the cause of the existence of all six substances.
**Savyaanam Dadhwara Parinaam Jo Karevi So Kali || Purvardha Gatha 216||** - There is change, meaning cycles, in all substances like beings, matter, etc. The cycles are in the form of production, destruction, and existence. The one who does or causes these cycles is the definite time, meaning the time substance. Here, the cause of the existence of substances is the main time, which has the characteristic of causing existence.
