THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
एगणिगोदसरीरे जीवा दव्वप्यमाणदो दिट्ठा । सिद्धेहिं प्रणतगुणा सव्वेण वितीदकालेा ॥ १६६॥ एक निगोदशरीरे जीवा द्रव्यप्रमाणतो पृष्टाः । सिद्धैरनन्तगुणाः सर्वेण व्यतीतकालेन ॥ १६६ ॥
196. From the substance point of view (the number of souls, in one Nigoda body) seen (by the Omniscient) are infinite times the number of all liberated souls of and (the number of instants of) all past time.
अत्थिता जीवा जेहि ण पत्तो तसा परिणामो । भावकलंक सुपउरा गिोदवासं सुचंति ॥ १६७ ॥ सन्ति अनन्त जीवा यैर्न प्राप्तः त्रसानां परिणामः । भावकलङ्कसुप्रचुरा निगोदवासं न मुञ्चन्ति ॥ १६७ ॥
197. There are infinite souls which have never (so far) attained the condition of mobiles. Being thickly beset with impure thought activities, they do not leave the residence in Nigoda.
Commentary.
Although there are such souls who on account of their immense impure thought-activity, would never leave their stay in Nigoda, still the general rule that 608 souls leave Nigoda in 6 months 8 instants and other 608 human souls attain liberation must be kept in mind.
विहितचिदुहि पंचह सहिया जे इंदिएहि लोयाम्हि । ते तसकाया जीवा या वीरोबदेसेण ॥ १६८॥ द्वाभ्यां त्रिभिर्चतुर्भिः पञ्चभिः सहिता ये इन्द्रियैर्लोके । ते सकाया जीवा ज्ञेया वीरोपदेशेन ॥ १६८ ॥
198. Those souls, in the universe, who exist with two, three, four or five senses should be understood as mobile-bodied as discoursed by Vira (Lord Mahavira). उबबादमारणं तियपरिणदतसमुज्झिऊण सेसतसा । तालिबाहिर य णत्थित्ति जिहिं गिद्दिहं ॥ १६६ ॥
