world). Do you live in all these ?" He answers from vishuddha Naigam naya (the unambiguous or clear co-ordinated viewpoint) “I live in the middle world.”
He is again asked—“In the middle world there are said to be innumerable continents and oceans starting from Jambudveep and ending in Svayambhuraman ocean. Do you live in all these?” He answers from vishuddhatar Naigam naya (clearer co-ordinated viewpoint)_“I live in Jambudveep."
He is further asked—“In Jambudveep there are said to be ten regions—(1) Bharat, (2) Airavat, (3) Haimavat, (4) Airanyavat, (5) Harivarsh, (6) Ramyakvarsh, (7) Deva-kuru, (8) Uttar-kuru, (9) Purvavideh, and (10) Aparvideh. Do you live in all these ?" He answers from vishuddhatar Naigam naya (still clear co-ordinated viewpoint)—“I live in Bharat region.”
He is asked again-"In Dakshinardh (Southern) Bharat there are many types of settlements like gram (village), nagar (city), khet (a settlement surrounded by a temporary mud wall), karbat (untidy and ragged settlement), madamb (a remote or isolated town), dron-mukh (a city connected by both waterways and roads), pattan (commercial city), aakar (a settlement near mines), samvaha (a castle like settlement atop hill) and sannivesh (a suburb). Do you live in all these ?" He answers from vishuddhatar Naigam naya (still clear co-ordinated viewpoint)—“I live in Pataliputra (name of a city).”
He is again asked—“In Pataliputra there are many houses. Do you live in them all ?" He answers from vishuddhatar Naigam naya (clearer co-ordinated viewpoint)_“I live in the house of Devadatt (name of a person).”
He is again asked—“In the house of Devadatt there are many rooms. Do you live in them all ?" He answers from vishuddhatar Naigam naya (clearer co-ordinated viewpoint)—“I live in the inner room."
This way according to vishuddha Naigam naya (the unambiguous or clear co-ordinated viewpoint) a person actually living in an abode is said to be living there.
