________________ 144 THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS. परमाणुभिरनन्तैर्वर्गणासंज्ञा हि भवत्येका हि । ताभिरनन्तैर्नियमात् समयप्रबद्धो भवेदेकः ॥ २४५ ॥ 245. Varganá is the name of a molecule of infinite atoms. And a unit of bondage (samaya prabaddha) is necessarily formed of such infinite (molecules). Commentary. The infinite mentioned in this gatha is at its maximum, an infinite part of the number of liberated souls, and at its minimum. infinite times the number of souls incapable of liberation (abhavya), which is a kind of middle infinite multiplied by infinite (madhyama Anant-ánant,) Unit of bondage is the number of karmic or quasi-karmic molecules which the soul binds to itself in one instant, (see gatha 4 of Karma Kánda). ताणं समयपबद्धा सेढिअसंखेजभागगुणिदकमा। णंतेण य तेजदुगा परं परं होदि सुहुमं खु ॥ २४६ ॥ तेषां समयप्रबद्धाः श्रेण्यसंख्यभागगुणितक्रमा । अनन्तेन च तेजोद्विकाः परं परं भवति सूक्ष्मं खलु ॥ २४६ ॥ 246. The units of bondage (Samaya Prabaddha) of these (i. e, fluid and assimilative bodies) are as many times (those of physical and fluid bodies,) respectively, as an innumerable part of the base of the universe (jagat shrení.) And those of the electric duet (Taijasa and karmic bodies,) are infinite (times of that of the assimilative, and electric bodies respectively.) And (each of the five bodies) certainly advances in fineness (i. e. is finer, than its predecessor.) Commentary. The physical is the grossest body. The fluid body has innume. rable times the atoms of the physical body and it is finer than the physical. The assimilative body has innumerable times the atoms of and is finer than the fluid body. The electric body has infinite times the atoms of, and is finer than, the assimilative body. The karmic body has infinite times the atoms of, and is finer than, the electric body. Take the physical and electric bodies of a man. The molecules of physical body (áháraka varganá) are much grosser than the Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
