THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
(Paramánu) is (the matter of) full visual (knowledge Sarvavadhi . It (is) without divisions.
Division by the common ratio is like the flow of the Great River Ganges (from the first division of partial visual-knowledge up to full visual-knowledge)
परमोहिदव्वभेदा जेत्तियमेत्ता हु तेत्तिया होति। तस्सेव खेत्तकालवियप्या विसया असंखगुणिदकमा॥४१६॥ परमावधिद्रव्यभेदा यावन्मात्रा हि तावन्तो भवन्ति । तस्यैव क्षेत्रकालविकल्पा विषया असंख्यगुणितक्रमाः ॥४१६।।
416. (There) are as many divisions in respect of spatial extent and time in high visual knowledge as (there are) divisions in its matter. (Each division of space and time from minimum to maximum) is innumerable times (of its preceding one), in succession.
आवलिअसंखभागा इच्छिदगच्छधणमाणमेत्ताओ। देसावहिस्स खेत्ते कालेवि य होति संवग्गे ॥ ४१७॥
आवल्यसंख्यभागा इच्छितगच्छधनमानमात्राः । देशावधेः क्षेत्रे कालेपि च भवन्ति संवर्गे ॥ ४१७ ।।
417. An innumerable part of a wink or (Avali) multiplied by itself as many times as the sum of the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., up to the number of the given division (of high visual knowledge, and again) multiplied by (maximum) space or time of partial visual knowledge, amounts (respectively to the spatial extent or time of the given division of high visual knowledge).
__ Commentary. For example, if we have to find the extent and time of the fifth division of high visual knowledge, then the sum of series will be-1+2+3+4+5-15. Then the extent and time of maximum partial visual knowledge multiplied 15 times by the innumerable part of an ávali, will give the extent and time of the 5th division of high visual knowledge.
