ववहारा सुहदुक्खं पुग्गलकम्मफलं प जेदि। आदा णिच्छयणयदो चेदणभावं खु आदस्स॥९॥
vavahārā suha-dukkham puggala-kamma-pphalam pabhunjedi ādā nicchaya-nayado cedana-bhāvam khu ādassa.
From the conventional point of view the soul enjoys happiness and suffering as the result of material karmas. From the absolute point of view (it enjoys) its own state of consciousness.
अणुगुरुदेहपमाणो उवसंहारप्पसप्पदो चेदा। असमुहदो ववहारा णिच्छयणयदो असंखदेसो वा॥१०॥
anu-guru-deha-pamāno uvasamhāra-ppasappado ceda asamuhado vavahārā; nicchaya-nayado asamkha-deso vā.
From the conventional point of view, given the absence of bursting forth, the soul has the size of a body which is minute (or) heavy, depending on whether it shrinks or expands; but from the absolute point of view, it occupies innumerable space points.
पुढविजलतेउवाऊ वणफदी विविहथावरेइन्दी। विगतिगचदुपंचक्खा तसजीवा होंति संखादी॥११॥
pudhavi-jala-teu-vāū vanapphadī viviha-thāvar'eindi viga-tiga-cadu-panc'akkhā tasa-jīvā honti samkhādī.
Earth, water, fire, wind, plants, the various immovable beings have one sense organ. Movable sentient beings, such as the conch and others, have two, three, four or five sense organs.
Compare TS 5.16 "Like the light of a lamp, the soul assumes the size of the body it happens to occupy on account of the contraction and expansion of its space units".
