## Pancastikaya Prabhrut 253
**Hindi Ta-Uththānika:** Further, there are more reasons to prove that space does not have the power to cause motion and rest.
**Anvaya Saha Samanyarth:** If space were the cause of motion and rest for the living beings and karmic particles, then the destruction of non-loka space would occur, and the boundary of loka space would expand.
**Vishesharth:** If space were the cause of motion and rest, then space would exist even outside loka space. In that case, the living beings and karmic particles would move even in infinite space. This would lead to the non-existence of non-loka space and the expansion of the boundary of loka space. But this is not the case. Therefore, it is proven that space is not the cause of motion and rest. || 94 ||

**Anvayaarth:** Therefore, dharma and adharma are the causes of motion and rest, not space. This is what the Jinas have said to those who listen to the nature of the world.
**Teeka:** This is the conclusion of the statement refuting the claim that space is the cause of motion and rest. Dharma and adharma are the causes of motion and rest, not space. || 95 ||
**San. Ta.:** Now, the conclusion of the explanation refuting space as the cause of motion and rest is stated. Therefore, dharma and adharma are the causes of motion and rest, not space. This is what the Jinas have said. To whom does this apply? To those who are worthy. What are they doing? They are listening to the nature of the world while seeking refuge. This is the meaning. || 15 ||
