and then (for the fixed-indifferent molecule Dhruva Shúnya Varganā) is (the number of) wrong (believing souls) divided by innumerable into innumerable spatial units of the universe.
सेढीसूईपल्लाजगपदरासंखभागगुणगारा। अप्पप्पणअवरादो उक्कस्से होति णियमेण ॥ ६०० ॥ श्रेणीसूचीपल्यजगत्मतरासंख्यभागगुणकाराः। प्रात्मात्मनावरादुत्कृष्ट भवन्ति नियमेन ॥ ६००॥
600. An innumerable part of the base line of universe (Jagat-shrení), linear finger (Súchiangula), Palya, and basic area of universe (Jagat Pratara) necessarily become multipliers of the minima to (produce) the maxima (respectively of Gross common, Vádara Nigoda; indifferent, Shúnya; fine-common, Súkshma Nigoda; and sphere, Nabho, molecules).
हेहिमउक्स्सं पुण रूवाहियं उवरिमं जहरणं खु। इदि तेवीसवियप्पा पुग्गलदव्वा हु जिणदिट्ठा ॥६०१॥ अधस्तनोत्कृष्टं पुन: रूपाधिकमुपरिमं जघन्यं खलु । इतित्रयोविंशतिविकल्पानिपुद्गलद्रव्याणि हि जिनदृष्टानि॥६०१॥
601. (From the second to the 23rd molecule) each is one more than the maximum of the one immediately preceding it. Thus matter substances with their 23 kinds have been described by the Conqueror (Jina).
Commentary. Among the 23 kinds of molecules, the first kind of atom-molecules have no minimum and maximum divisions, because each atom is its one separate molecule. The other 22 kinds of molecules have minimum, medium and maximum divisions. The minimum and maximum are shown below, between these two there are many medium divisions of successive increase of one atom.
(1) Numerable-atom-molecule, Sankhyátánu Varganá. Minimum is a molecule of 2 atoms, maximum is a molecule of highest number of numerable. . (2) Innumerable-Atom-molecule, asankhyátánu Varganá - minimum is a molecule of minimum-plenary innumerable, Jaghanya
