The medium of motion helps matter and the sentient which are prone to motion to move, like water (helps) fish. It does not set in motion those which do not move.
ठाणजुदाण अधम्मो पुग्गलजीवाण ठाणसहयारी।
छाया जह पहियाणं गच्छंता णेव सो धरई॥१८॥
thāna-judāna a-dhammo puggala- jīvāna thāna-sahayārī chāyā jaha pahiyāṇam. gacchantā neva so dharai.
The principle of rest helps matter and the sentient which are liable to stay to stay without moving, like the shade (helps) travellers. It does not stabilize those which
move.
अवगासदाणजोग्गं जीवादीणं वियाण आयासं ।
जेणं लोगागासं अल्लोगागासमिदि दुविहं ॥ १९ ॥
avagāsa-dāṇa-joggam jīvādīņam viyāṇa āyāsam jenam2 logāgāsam a-llogāgāsam idi duviham.
Know that space is (that which is) capable of giving room for the sentient and others. It has been described in Jainism as twofold: space of the world, and space of the non world.
धम्माधम्मा कालो पुग्गलजीवा य संति जावदिये।
आयासे सो लोगो तत्तो परदो अलोगुत्तो ॥ २० ॥
dhammādhammā kālo puggala-jīvā ya santi jāvadiye āyāse so logo; tatto parado alog' utto.
The extent of space in which rest and motion, time, matter and sentient beings exist is the world. What is other than this is called non world.
12 We read jenam ( = jainam), following Ghosal and Brahmadeva's commentary: jinasyedam, jinena proktam vā jainam, and not jenham as some editions do.
