## Verse 3 of the Description of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas
**The meaning is as follows:**
The pure soul, possessing the miraculous power of consciousness, due to its unique transformations in false beliefs, attachment, aversion, and other modifications, acquires the karma called "body-karma." This body-karma, due to its expansion and contraction caused by its arising, spreads throughout the body of a great fish, measuring thousands of yojanas, when it attains the highest level of pervasiveness. When it attains the lowest level of pervasiveness, it spreads throughout the body of a tiny nigoda, measuring an infinitesimal fraction of an utsedha-ghana-angula. And when it attains the middle level of pervasiveness, it spreads throughout bodies of medium size. ||33||
