Verse 5
-16
Statement of the number of Dravyas and the duration of the Vyavahar Kala.
Jivas are infinite, and from Jivas, there are infinite-fold Pudgalas. The three Dravyas, Dharma, Adharma, and Akasha, are one each. The duration of the Kalaanu is equal to the Lokapradesha. ||588||
There are Kalaanus on each Lokamasha Pradesha, which are one each and are different from each other like a heap of jewels. ||586||
The Vyavahar Kala is infinite-fold from the Pudgal Dravya. From the Vyavahar Kala, there are infinite-fold Akasha Pradeshas. ||510||
The Lokakasha Pradesha is the same as the Pradesha of Dharma Dravya, Adharma Dravya, and one Jiva. The Pradesha is as much as the Paramanu stays in the Akasha Kshetra. ||561||
Meaning of the Verse:
Jivas are infinitely infinite, and from Jivas, there are infinite-fold Pudgalas. The number of Kalaanus is innumerable, equal to the Lokakasha Pradesha. Dharma Dravya, Adharma Dravya, and Akasha Dravya are one each because they are indivisible.
Doubt:
Why are Kalaanus equal to the Lokapradesha?
Solution:
Because there is one Kalaanu on each Pradesha of the Lokakasha, and it is inactive. Therefore, the Kalaanus are equal to the Lokakasha Pradesha. It is also said:
"On each Pradesha of the Lokakasha, there are Kalaanus, which are one each and are different from each other like a heap of jewels, and their number is equal to the number of Lokakasha Pradeshas." ||22||
