**Pancastikaya Prabhruta**

247

The main point of the sutra "Dhamma Dhamma Agasa" etc. is that due to the pervasiveness and equal measure of the five categories, they are one in terms of non-real existence, but due to their distinct characteristics, they are different in terms of certainty. Thus, the seven gathas explain the nature of the Akasa Stikaya in three places.

**Explanation:**

The nature of Akasa is described as follows:

"It encompasses all beings, all souls, all other things, all Dharmas, Adharmas, and Kalas, and all Pudgalas. It is the space that gives space. It is the void, the gap, the opening, the expanse, the whole, the entire, the aforementioned, the world. It is the Akasa."

**Question:**

Here, Shiva Kumar Maharaj asks, "O Bhagavan! This world is of immeasurable extent. In this world, there are countless beings, each with infinite qualities, and there are also infinite Pudgalas, Dharmas, Adharmas, and Kalas. How do they all find space in this Akasa?"

**Answer:**

The Bhagavan replies, "Just as many lamps illuminate a single room, just as many gold coins are contained in a single bag, just as many things are kept in a single house, and just as many sounds are heard from a single bell, so too, in this world of immeasurable extent, countless beings find space due to the unique quality of pervasiveness." || 10 ||

**Hindi Translation:**

**Uththānikā:**

After this, the pure and enlightened soul is the pure Jiva Stikaya, which is the cause of liberation and is capable of receiving everything. The Akasa Stikaya, which is different from it, is described in seven gathas. Among these seven gathas, the first two describe the nature of both Lokakasa and Alokakasa, starting with the gatha "Savvesim Jivaṇam" etc. Further, Akasa itself will be both in motion and at rest. What is the need for Dharma and Adharma substances? To refute this prior objection, the next four gathas are in the order of "Agasam Avagasam" etc. Then, Dharma, Adharma, and Lokakasa are considered as one field of pervasiveness, and being of equal measure, they are one in terms of non-real existence, but due to their distinct characteristics, they are different in terms of certainty. This is stated in the sutra "Dhamma Dhamma Agasa" etc. In this way, the seven gathas explain the nature of the Akasa Stikaya in three places.

**Hindi Translation:**

**Now, the nature of Akasa is described:**

**Anvayasahita Samanyarthah:**

(Savvesim) All (Jivaṇam) beings (tay ya) and (Poggalāṇam) Pudgalas (cha) and (Sesāṇam) the rest, Dharma, Adharma, and Kala (jan) which (vivaram) space (dedi) gives (tan) that (akhilam) entire (ayasam) Akasa (loe) in this world (havdi) is.

**Vishesharth:**

Here, Shiva Kumar Maharaj said, "O Bhagavan! This world is immeasurable...
