## Introduction

Readers will themselves experience the verbal and economic equality of the presentation of both subjects.
In this way, by stating the number of fourteen Gunasthanas in the Jivasamaas, and the number of three Marganas like motion, etc., and by giving directions about the Sântaramarganas, etc., it has been said:
"Whatever feelings are wherever they are in the five motions,
Those are the Anumargita Dravyapamana, O wise ones." || 166 ||
That is, I have described the Dravyapamana in these few Marganas, accordingly, the wise hero should himself know the Dravyapamana of the remaining possible Marganasthana in all five motions by Anumargana. It seems that keeping this indication in mind, the Shatkhandagamakar has described the Dravyapamana of the remaining 11 Marganas in a total of 90 sutras.

**Shatkhandagama-Sutra**
"In which field is there wrong by the flow? In all beings." || 2 ||

"In which field is there yogic Kevali? In countless parts of the beings, or in countless parts of those parts, or in all beings." || 4 ||

While describing the Sparshanprarupa, the Jivasamaas first gives directions about the Svasthana, Samudghata, and Uppaadapada, and explains the difference between Kshetra and Sparshan. Then, by stating how much Dravya is present in how many Kshetras, it describes the shape of the Madhyaloka in the infinite space as a Supratisthitasansthana, and then describes the separate shapes of the three Lokas, stating their length and width. Again, by describing the arrangement and placement of the islands and oceans in the Madhyaloka, it describes the increase and decrease related to the Kshetra of the upper and lower Lokas. Again, by stating the seven types of Samudghata, it explains how many Samudghatas are present in each motion. After giving all this necessary information, the Gunasthanas and...
