( The sixth तत एवमपि सति न सर्वभव्यानामुच्छेदो युक्तः, सर्वेणापि कालेन तदनन्तभागस्यैव सिद्धिगमनसम्भवोपदर्शनात् । अथ परस्य मतिर्भवेत्-तत्कथमिदं सिद्धं यदुत-अनन्ता भव्याः, तदनन्तभागश्च सर्वेणैव कालेन सेत्स्यतीति ? । अत्रोच्यते-काला-ऽऽकाशादय इवानन्तास्तावद् भव्याः, तदनन्तभागस्य च मुक्तिगमनात् , काला-ऽऽकाशयोरिव न सर्वेषामुच्छेद इति प्रतिपद्यस्व, मद्वचनाद् वा मण्डिक ! सर्वमेतत् श्रद्धेहीति ॥ २८०-२८१-२८२ ।। (१८२८-१८२९-१८३०)
D. C.-As the time, whether past or future is the same throughout, the infinite number of bhavya jîvas, or a portion of them attains moksa during past as well as future times in equal proportion The uccheda of all bhavya jîvas is, therefore, not acceptible.
Mandika:-But how is it proved that the bhavyas are ananta and their anantabhāga attains moksa at all times ?
Bhagavān:--They are antanta like kāla and ākās'a. Even if infinite number of bhavyas passes away to mokşa, they remain endless for ever like kāla and cikās'a. Rely upon my word, O Meandaka, and. accept it. ॥ 280-282 ( 1828-1830)॥
If it is asked “How could it be taken as true merely on your words ? " the answer isसब्भूयमिणं गिण्हसु मह वयणाओऽवसेसवयणं व । सवण्णुताइओ वा जाणयमज्झत्थवयणं व ॥ २८३॥ (१८३१) मण्णसि किह सवण्णू सवेसि सवसंसयच्छेया। दिटुंताभावम्मि वि पुच्छउ जो संसओ जस्स ॥२८४॥(१८३२) Sabbhūyamiņam ginhasu maha vayaņāo'vasesavayanam va i Savvannutaio vā janayamajjhatthavayanam va ॥ 283॥ (1831) Mannasi kiha savvannā savyesim savvasamsayaccheyā i Ditthantabhāvammi vi pucchau jo samsao jassa ॥ 284॥ (1832)
