## Description of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas
The six substances are eternal. Some of these living beings, i.e., some Kevalis, spread throughout the universe at the time of the Kevali's liberation, or, in other words, the subtle, stationary, one-sensed living beings are omnipresent in the universe - they are present everywhere. In this regard, some living beings are omnipresent, while others, who are not in the state of filling the universe, or the one-sensed, the confused, and the five-sensed living beings, are not omnipresent, i.e., they are present in some places and not in others - they are not present in all parts of the universe. Among all these living beings, those who are devoid of attachment, etc., and who are in the state of pure Jiva-astikaya, which is characterized by eternal bliss and one nature, are bound by false perception, passions, and karmas, as much as possible, and are infinite in number. These are the worldly beings. And those who are free from false perception, passions, and karmas are infinite in number. These are the Siddhas.
Here, the meaning is that, with the hope of liberation, abandoning all kinds of attachments, etc., like the Siddhas, this soul of mine, which is adorned with the taste of eternal bliss, is the pure Jiva-astikaya, and is worthy of being spoken about. 131-32.
In this way, the three verses on the main point of Jiva-siddhi, for the instruction of the disciple, according to the Charvaka philosophy, have been completed with the above-mentioned nine examples, starting with "Vachchakkharam".
## Time Explanation Verse - 33
"Just as a ruby is thrown into milk and illuminates the milk, so too, the soul, residing in the body, illuminates only its own body." 33.
This is an explanation of the example of the body being the only thing that is illuminated. Just as a ruby, when thrown into milk, illuminates the milk with its own light, which is distinct from the milk, so too, the soul, residing in the body, which is rooted in the eternal passions and impurities, illuminates the body with its own parts. Just as the ruby's light intensifies when the milk is heated by fire, and diminishes when the milk cools down, so too, the soul's parts expand when the body is nourished by special food, etc., and contract when the body is deprived of nourishment. Just as the ruby, when thrown into a large quantity of milk, illuminates the entire quantity of milk with its light, so too, the soul, residing in a large body, illuminates the entire body with its parts. Just as the ruby, when thrown into a small quantity of milk, illuminates only the small quantity of milk with its light, so too, the soul, residing in a small body, illuminates only the small body with its parts. 33.
