(१०) लोक - भावना
(tif salamu ) धर्माधौं पुद्गलः स्वात्मकालाएतद्रव्या भिन्नरूपो हि लोकः । तत्राकाशं सर्वतः स्थाय्यनन्तमेतन्मध्ये विद्यते लोक एषः ॥७॥
Meaning :- That is called Loka (World) which is an aggregate of the six substances (Dravyas), namely, the principle of motion, the principle of stability, the vacuum or the ether, the atom, the Soul, and the time. Not a single space in the Loka is such where not one of these six substances is never found. The part, where these six substances or any one of the six is necessarily to be found, is technically styled as "Loka" (World). Of these six substances, ether (Akasa) is the only one which is all-pervading: while the other five are the pervaded ones. That is to say, ether is always there along with the other five substances as well as it is also there where these five substances are not. It is infinite, that is to say, no one can find its extremes. In the midst of such an Akasastikaya, the Loka which is constitued of the six substances enumerated just now, exists. (74)
