नोकौंदारिकसंचयं मध्यभयोगार्जितं सविस्रसोपचयम् । लोकविभक्तं जानानि अवरावधिः द्रव्यतो नियमात् ॥ ३७७ ॥
377. The collection (Sanchaya) of quasi-karmic (nokarma), physical (audárika) molecules acquired by medium vibratory activity (Yoga of the soul) with its naturally attendant (Visrasopachaya group of atoms), divided by (the innumerable spatial units of) the universe (Loka, is what) minimum visual (knowledge) necessarily knows as (its) subject matter.
Commentary. Collection here means 1, times guna-hani unit of bondage (Samaya-Prabaddha). Obviously grosser things can be the subject matter of this minimum visual knowledge. But finer matter cannot be known by this minimum visual knowledge.
सुहमणिगोदअपजत्तयस्स जादस्त तदियसमयम्हि । अवरोगाहणमाणं जहएणयं ओहिखेत्तं तु ॥ ३७८॥ सूक्ष्मनिगोदापर्याप्तकस्य जातस्य तृतीयसमये । अवरावगाहनमानं जघन्यकमवधिक्षेत्रं तु ॥ ३७८ ।।
878. In the third instant of the birth of fine (completely) undevelopable common (soul, Súkshma LabdhyaParyápta Nigoda) there is the minimum extent of localisation. (This is) the minimum scope in space of the visual-knowledge.
Commentary. Minimum Visual-knowledge comprehends only the objects given in the last Gatha located in the space given here. The grosser matters also to be knowable by minimum visual knowledge must not occupy more space than mentioned here.
अवरोहि वेत्तदीहं वित्थारुस्सेहयं ण जाणामो। अण्णं पुण समकरणे अवरोगाहणपमाणं तु ॥ ३७६ ॥ अवरावधिक्षेत्रदीर्घ विस्तारोत्सेधकं न जानीमः । अन्यत् पुनः समीकरणे अवरावगाहनप्रमाणं तु ॥ ३७९ ॥
