सर्वजीवराशि के अनन्तवे भाग है । अत उन्हे कम कर देने से तैजस्शरीर सर्वजीवो के अनन्तवे भाग न्यून हो जाते है । (विस्तार के लिए ज्ञान मुनि कृत हिन्दी टीका, भाग २, पृ ७४५ से ७५५ देखे ।)
NUMBER OF TAIJAS SHARIRAS
416. (Q.) Bhante! Of how many kinds are taujas shariras (fiery bodies)?
(Ans.) Gautam! Taijas shariras (fiery bodies) are of two kindsBaddh (bound with soul) and Mukta (abandoned by soul). Of these, the baddh taujas shariras (bound fiery bodies) are infinite. (Their number) in terms of time (is such that) it takes infinite utsarpiniavasarpini (progressive-regressive cycles of time) to remove them (if stored in a silo); and in terms of area they are equivalent to infinite loks (infinite times more than the number of lok or occupied space); and in terms of substance they are infinite times more than the number of Siddhas (liberated souls) and infinite fraction less than the total number of all beings.
Of these the mukta (abandoned) are infinite. (Their number) in terms of time (is such that) it takes infinite utsarpini-avasarpını (progressive-regressive cycles of time) to remove them (if stored in a silo), in terms of area they are equivalent to infinite loks (infinite times more than the lok or occupied space); and in terms of substance they are infinite times more than the total number of Siddhas (liberated souls) and infinite fraction of the total number of all beings.
Elaboration-The baddh taujas shariras (bound fiery bodies) are infinite because the nigod (dormant) beings with a clump-body too have independent taijas shariras (fiery bodies) unlike having a single audarik (gross physical) body Their number in terms of time is equal to the total number of Samayas in infinite utsarpini-avasarpini (progressiveregressive cycles of time) In terms of area they are equivalent to infinite loks, in other words infinite times more than the total number of spacepoints in the lok or occupied space, and in terms of substance they are infinite times more than the number of Siddhas (liberated souls) and infinite fraction less than total number of all beings The reason for this is that all worldly beings have taujas sharira (fiery body) and the number of worldly beings is infinite times more than that of Siddhas,
