176 Along with this, there are also some differences in certain statements, which are being briefly presented.
**Nature Difference** - In this, the word "prakriti" has been given two meanings - (1) nature and (2) community. Both these meanings are found in the Svetambara karma literature, but in the Digambara literature, only the meaning of "nature" for the word "prakriti" is mentioned. For example - "Prakriti svabhavah", "Prakriti: svabhavah ityanaanataram", "Payadi sile sahavo" etc.
**Evidence of the Side** - A word that has a case ending or where the meaning ends in a particular part is called a "pad". But in "padashruta", "pad" does not refer to such a word, but to a symbolic word. The evidence of the Acharanga and other Agamas is counted in such words. It is not known how many "pralokas" this symbolic word is considered to be, as the corresponding sect has been destroyed. This is written somewhere in a commentary, and somewhere it is also written that there are approximately 51,08,86,840 shlokas in one "pad". 1. (a) "Prakritistu svabhavah syad jnanavrttyadi kamagam. Yatha jnanam avanaadih sthitih kalavinischayaih." - Lokaprakash, Sarg 10, Imok 137 (b) "Shivam shravanasm thii paaes badho paamagahanam cha. Tanaraso anubhaago tassasamudayo pagai bandho." - Here it should be noted that in the meaning of "nature", "anubhagabandh" refers only to the karmic power of fruition, its auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, and its intensity and mildness. But in the meaning of "community", "anubhagabandh" refers to the karmic power of fruition, its auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, and its intensity and mildness. 2.
