penetrated by one unit of the same entity; however, it may be penetrated by į units of motion, rest and space and by oo units of soul, matter and time.
ao means that where one unit of motion, rest or space is present another unit of the same entity cannot penetrate. bo in the non-world. co outside Samayakhetta. d If an aggregate of two atoms (dvyaņukaḥ skandhaḥ) occupies only one unit of space, it may be penetrated by one unit of motion etc. only. e ananta-pradeśatvāj jivâstikāyasya, Abhay.
4d (614a) Density of the Al: one unit of an Al may be penetrated by į units of earth-, water-, fire- and wind-beings and by o units of plants.
4e (615b) Motion, rest and space [are not corporeal, or concrete, since they] do not support beings (eyamsi bhante dhamm'atthi-kāyamsi etc. cakkiyā kei āsaittae vā ... ? no in' atthe samațțhe!), although beings penetrate them (anantā puņa tattha jīvā ogādhā). Simile (ref. to Rāyap. 134b): they are no more concrete than the light of a thousand lamps (padīva-lessā) illuminating a room.
5a (616a) The [profile of the] world is wholly smooth (bahusama) without any bulging (savv'aviggahiya?) in the small upper and nether layers (uvarima-hetthillesu khuddäga-payaresu, cf. 3a above) [in top) of the hell Rayaņappabhā (scil. the central world). It has its maximum convexity (viggaha-viggahiya) in the socalled Viggaha-kaņda [i.e., thinking of the man-like shape of the world (see Lehre par. 103 end), the elbow (viggaha : vakra, kanda : avayava, v.-k. : kūrpara) situated in Brahmaloka, Abhay.].
I read savu'aviggahiya with Lehre p. 152, n. 3 = Doctrine p. 238, n. 1, although according to Abhay. the text has savva-viggahiya, explained sarvasamkşipta 'the narrowest'.
55 (616b) Memorandum on the shape of the world (supaitthiya-samthiya, ref. to VII 1). The nether world is a little bigger than the upper world which is į times bigger than the central world. * *
The height of the upper world and the nether world is a little bit less resp. a little bit more than seven rajjus, Abhay.
