अब दण्डक (विकल्प) सम्बन्धी बात आती है तो एकवचन-सम्बन्धी औदारिकादि सात प्रकार है। ॐ के पुद्गल-परिवर्तन होने से, सात दण्डक (विकल्प) होते हैं। इन सात दण्डकों को नैरयिकादि ) म चौबीस दण्डकों में कहना चाहिए और इसी प्रकार बहुवचन से भी कहना चाहिए। एकवचन और +
बहुवचन सम्बन्धी दण्डकों में अन्तर केवल इतना है कि एकवचन सम्बन्धी दण्डकों में भविष्यकालीन म पुद्गल-परिवर्तन किसी जीव के होते हैं तो किसी जीव के नहीं। जबकि बहुवचन सम्बन्धी दण्डकों में 5
भविष्यकालीन पुद्गल परिवर्तन सभी जीव के होते हैं, क्योंकि उनमें सामान्य जीवों के लिये व्यतत्व 卐 कहा गया है।
Elaboration Statements 18 to 27 detail seven types of pudgal parivartya (material or particulate transformations) of past and future 5 in context of jivas (soul living beings) from nairayik (infernal) to Vaimanik s
(Celestial-vehicular gods). The question here is that how can the number 5 of material transformations of the past be infinite? The explanation is 4 that the past is without a beginning; existence of soul/living being is also
beginning-less; as such it has undergone material transformations for 5 infinite number of rebirths acquiring and shedding a variety of matter
particles making the number of particulate transformations in the past 5 as infinite.
A soul/living being, non-deserving or not destined to liberation (abhavya jiva), will continue to undergo particulate transformations but
a soul/living being rising from hell, taking birth as human being and 55getting liberated or the one that may ultimately get liberated in $ countable or uncountable rebirths will terminate these transformation.
However, the number of transformations will depend on the period of movement in the cycles of rebirth. Thus it will vary from one, two, and
three to countable, uncountable and infinite. Note that even a single 41 particulate transformation takes a very long period to manifest.
As regards the probabilities or alternatives of a soul/living being undergoing these transformations, they are seven based on the seven
types. These seven alternatives are to be considered for twenty four places $1 of suffering (dandak) including nairayik or infernal. All these sets are
also to be mentioned in singular and plural contexts. The only difference 4 is that in singular context the future transformations take place in some
case and do not in some case; whereas in plural context they take place
