II 10
° (1510) The space of the non-world (alog'āgāsa) consists neither of souls nor of inanimate matters nor of parts or units of such. It is in fact ajīva-davva-dese aguruyalahue anantehim aguruyalahuya-gunehim samjutte savv'āgāse ananta-bhāg'ūne, i.e. part of something inanimate (viz the fundamental entity Space) that is completely beyond the notions heavy and light and equals the whole of Space minus part of it (viz the space of the world, log’āgāsa).
(151a) Motion, Rest, the space of the world, Soul and Matter occupy the whole world.
$ (151b) The nether world, the central world and the upper world resp. embrace (phusai, lit. 'touches') a little bit more than the half, part and a little bit less than the half of the fundamental entity Motion.
h (152a) Each of the different parts of the world (the hells, continents etc. and heavens) and each of the hulls that envelop them embraces ("touches') part and each of the intermediate spaces between them (uvās'antara) embraces part of Motion, Rest and the space of the world. One mnemonic gāhā.
Cf. VII 101, XVIII 74, XIII 4* and see Lehre par. 57.-One question in section 5 begins with kim kh'āim ti ... (thus with Abhay.) on which see Lehre p. 150, n. 3 = Doctrine p. 236, n. 1.-Section d of the text, in accordance with what is said in section , expressly states that among the formless inanimate matters one may not speak of a part of Motion and Rest' (no (a)dhamm'atthikāyassa dese). Abhay., though, rightly points out the fact that other texts in this connection not only add Space but also speak of (a)dhamm'atthikāyassa desa, cf. as a matter of fact X 11c and Pannav. 8a. On section see Lehre par. 107.
