न च ये भव्या अभव्या मुक्तिसुखा अतीतानन्तसंसाराः। ते जीवा ज्ञातव्या नैव च भव्या अभव्याश्च ॥ ५५६ ॥
559. Those souls who are neither capable of liberation (Bhavya), nor incapable of liberation (Abhavya), but have the bliss of liberation (and are) beyond the cycle of infinite existence should be known to be neither Bhavya nor Abhavya.
Commentary. The distinction of Bhavya and Abhavya apply only to the mundane souls.
अवरो जुत्ताणतो अभव्वरासिस्स होदि परिमाणं । तेण विहीणो सव्वो संसारी भव्वरासिस्स ॥ ५६०॥ अवरो युक्तानन्त अभव्यराशेर्भवति परिमाणम् । तेन विहीनः सर्वः संसारी भव्यराशेः ॥ ५६० ॥
560. The total number of souls incapable of liberation (Abhavya) is the minimum secondary infinite (Jaghanya Yuktánanta). All the mundane souls minus these (is) the total (of) souls capable of liberation (Bhavya).
Commentary. Mundane souls wander in 5 kinds of Parivartana, cycle of wandering:
(1) Dravya-Parivartana, matter cycle. It is of two kinds, quasikarmic and karmic. No-karma, quasi-karmic cycle is the time which soul takes in the renewing exactly the same set of a particular number and quality of molecules, as it took once. Karmic cycle is the time taken in-renewing exactly the same set of a particu number and quality of 8 karmas, as the soul took in once. The time taken in both of these is called one matter cycle or dravya or pudgala parivartana. For example a soul takes on a body to day, with its quasi-karmic and karmic matter. It goes on changing both. When in the course of its changes, it again chances to take on a similar body with similar quasi-karmic and karmic matter, it is said to have completed one matter cycle (Dravya Parivartana).
(2) Kshetra Parivartana. Space-Cycle. The time taken by
