relative to time it falls in the category of sapradesh (with sections or with units of time). A being commencing its existence in a particular mode or state (paryaya) is apradesh (without sections) at the first Samaya (Samaya being the smallest unit of time, it does not have any further sections). As time passes and its existence is two, three, four and more Samayas long it is sapradesh (with sections) relative to time.
Divisions of beings in relation to time-The infernal being at the first Samaya of its birth is apradesh relative to time. When its existence is two, three, four and more Samayas long it is sapradesh (with sections). This way generally speaking a single jiva, belonging to any of the 24 Dandaks (places of suffering) including infernal beings and 26 Dandaks including Siddha, has two alternatives (bhang)-sometimes apradesh and sometimes sapradesh. For the same 26 places when the general statement is about many jivas there are three alternatives
(1) During the intervening time (virah kaal) after an instantaneous birth (upapaat) the number of living beings already born is innumerable and they all are sapradesh (with sections) relative to time
(2) Among the already born infernal beings when one new being is born then at that moment of birth he is apradesh relative to time and all other previously born beings are sapradesh because they are already past two, three, four or more Samayas after birth.
(3) Among the already born infernal beings when many new being are born at the same moment then at that moment of birth they all are apradesh relative to time and all other previously born beings are sapradesh. This is the third alternative.
Among one-sensed beings, including earth-bodied beings, there are only two alternatives-they are sometimes apradesh (without sections) and sometimes sapradesh. This is because they have numerous beings born among them every moment. All other beings from two-sensed ones to Siddhas have three alternatives just like infernal beings.
