Anuttaropapaatik Dasha-Ang-09 - Varga-3, Chapter 1
the period, take out one piece after every hundred years. The total time taken to make the well empty is Addha Palyopam. It is numerable million years.
Addha Palyopam is also of two types—Vyavaharik (Practical) and Sukshma (subtle). Practical has already been described. The Subtle one is like that in case of Uddhar Palyopam. The hair are split into innumerable pieces and taken one each hundred years.
Kshetra Palyopam—When the well or the warehouse for storage of paddy is filled with pieces of hair of the children of Yaugalik as mentioned earlier, some space-points (Akash Pradesh) remain in-between the pieces of hair although they have been fully packed. The space-points in-between may be very small but they are visible (roopee) in shape. Space is not roopee. A gross look may not indicate spacepoints in-between. But when we think in a subtle and deep manner, we understand that the absence of space-points in-between is not true. It can be easily understood by an example Imagine that a large warehouse has been filled with Kushmaands (grains). Out wardly it appears full and there is no vacant space. But if lemons are stocked, they can also be filled in that warehouse already full of grains. After adding lemon-stock, if it is filled with Sarson seeds, we find that sufficient quantity of Sarson seeds can also be stocked in the already full warehouse containing Kushmaand and lemon. If it is now filled with fine sand at the bed of the stream, we find this can also be added. This indicates presence of space-points in-between.
Second example relates to the wall. Outwardly wall has no vacant space. But pegs, nails can be fixed in it. In case there had been no vacant space-points, it would not have been possible to fix such things. There are vacant space-points in the wall but they are not grossly visible.
In the discussion relating to Kshetra Palyopam, the space-points in-between the pieces of hair of vaugalik babies can be imagined in the light of the above examples-In case the space-points touching the hair pieces are taken out one every moment (samay), the period taken to take out all vacant space-point is called Kshetra Palyopam. This period is, in fact, equal to innumerable Utsarpini-Avasarpini period.
Kshetra Palyopam is of two types—Practical (Vyavharik) and Subtle (Sukshma) Kshetra Palyopam. Subtle Kshetra Palyopam can be understood as under-if all the space-points touching and not touching the hair-pieces are taken out one each at every moment (samay), the total time taken to vacate the well is Subtle Kshetra Palyopam. Its time period is also equal to innumerable Utsarpini-Avasarpini time period. Its time period is innumerable time more than Practical Kshetra Palyopam.
