________________ (99) alesh - HATAT (vulgare) सूक्ष्मवादरनिगोदगोलकेऽनन्तकालमघयोगतः स्थितः । सक्ष्मबादरधरादिके ततो ऽसङ्ख्यकालमथदुःखसडले ॥२॥ Meaning :- in this topic of the eleventh Reflection, Bhavana, called Bodhidurlabha, it has been pointed out as to how long and broad power of the Soul is much suppressed and where the beings have got only one sense, namely, the sense of tough and that too is very dull. The Soul there had got only one body in common with other innumerable Souls. Not only this but in between the minute and the concrete beings of the Nigoda it remained there for infinite time in course of which it changed its body for times without number. Without going anywhere else it wandered there and there. Having passed infinite time there in this manner, it slightly rose above and passed innumerable time, consisting of numberless utsarpinis, alone of increase, and Avasarpinis, alone of decrease, in the kingdoms of minute and concrete earth, water, fire, wind, and vegetable called Pratyeka where also in all of which there is found misery and misery, only.
