atyajan, Abhay.) and the intermediate space of time (antara) between two existences as such; their relative number.
2 (585a) The relative number of the different kinds of actual gods, ref. to Jiv. 71a-b. **
10. AYA.
1 (588a) a. The actual self (daviyā y ā) and the self in connection with passion, activity, function, knowledge, belief, conduct and will (kasāy'āyā etc.). b. The possibilities of simultaneous junction of the different selves. Summarizing one can say, with Abhay., that these possibilities derive from the fact that all living beings possess the 'actual', the 'functional and the believing' selves, whereas the ‘passionate', 'active', 'knowing' and 'willing' selves and the self 'relative to conduct' only belong to passionate (sakaṣāyin), active (sayogin), orthodox (samyagdrști) and unliberated (samsārin) beings and beings with a conduct (căritrin) resp. c. The relative frequency of the eight selves.
On c Abhay. quotes three gāhās. 2 (588b) In HAMG knowledge or non-knowledge (with Al only non-knowledge) and belief are identical with the self: nāne, resp. annāņe, and damsane ... niyayam āyā.
3 (592b) Hells, heavens (scil. the notions hell and heaven?) [1] possess [dialectical] reality if they are considered from the point of view of their own [properties] (e.g. Rayanappabhā pudhavī appano ādiţthe āyā), [2] do not possess that reality if they are considered from the point of view of [the properties of] another object (... parassa ādiţthe no āyā); [3] one cannot say that they possess or do not possess reality if they are con sidered simultaneously from both these points of view (... tadubhayassa āditthe avattavvam āyā i ya no āyā i ya). In the case of aggregates occupying two space-units (dupaesiya khandha) there are three more possibilities, viz [4] the aggregate simultaneously possesses and does not possess reality if part of it is considered from the point of view of its inherent properties and the other part from the point of view of alien properties;
