.588. (The molecules of) matter (substance) are (composed) of numerable, innumerable, and infinite atoms. (Their) existence (is) in the universe only. (But the existence) of an atom is in one spatial unit (Pradesha) alone.
लोगागासपदेसा छदव्वेहिं फुडा सदा हति। सवमलोगागासं अण्णेहि विवज्जियं होदि ॥५८७॥ लोकाकाशप्रदेशाः षड्द्रव्यैः स्फुटाः सदा भवन्ति । सर्वमलोकाकाशमन्यैर्विवर्जितं भवति ॥ ५८७ ॥
587. The spatial units(Pradesha) of the universe are always packed full with the six substances. And the whole non-universe is without all the other (substances except space).
Sub-Chapter V.-Number (Sankhyá). जीवा अणंतसंखाणंतगुणा पुग्गला हु तत्तो दु। धम्मतियं एकेक लोगपदेसप्पमा कालो ॥ ५८८ ॥ जीवा अनन्तसंख्या अनन्तगुणाः पुद्गला हि ततस्तु । धर्मत्रयमेकैकं लोकप्रदेशप्रमः कालः ॥ ५८८॥
588. The number of souls (is) infinite. Infinite times of that (is the number of) matter (substances). And the three, (the two) media of motion (and rest, and space are) each, one (in number). Time (is equal to) the number of the (innumerable) spatial units of the universe.
लोगागासपदेसे एकेके जेट्ठिया हु एकेका । रयणाणं रासी इव ते कालाणू मुणेयव्वा ॥ ५८६ ॥ लोकाकाशप्रदेशे एकैके ये स्थिता हि एकैकाः । रत्नानां राशिरिव ते कालाणवो मन्तव्याः ॥ ५८६ ॥
589. In each spatial unit of the universe, they, i.e., the (points of time) are certainly fixed one by one like a heap of jewels. Those points of time (Kálánu) should be known (to be innumerable).
