जेट्टे समयबद्धे अतीदकाले हदेण सव्वेण ।
जीवेण हदे सव्वं सादी होदिति खिद्दिहं || १८८ ॥
ज्येष्ठे समयप्रबद्धे अतीतकालेन हतेन सर्वे । जीवेन हते सर्व सादि भवतीति निर्दिष्टम् ॥ १८८ ॥
188. The maximum unit of bondage (Samaya Prabaddha) multiplied by (the instants of) past time, (the product ) being multiplied by the total (number of) souls is the begun (Sádi or second-hand Karmic matter). So it is has been said.
Commentary.
Jyestha-The maximum unit of bondage is that which is produced by the maximum vibratory activity of the soul. All begun or second-hand Karmic matter is that which has been bound to any soul at least once. Therefore the whole of it must be included in the total matter which has been bound to all the souls. If we suppose every instant of their existence to have been one of activity corresponding to maximum bondage, its maximum bondage is possible, but it is not actually maximum bondage. This is so because every soul in every instant of its existence is not necessarily with the maximum vibratory thought-activity. Therefore the begun or second-hand Karmic matter must be less than the above product.
सगसगखेत्तगयस्स य अतिमं जोग्गदव्वगयसादी । सेसं अजोग्गसंगयसादी होदित्ति सिद्दिहं ॥ १८६ ॥ स्वकस्वकक्षेत्रगतस्य च अनन्तिमं योग्यद्रव्यगतसादि । शेषमयोग्य संगतसादि भवतीति निर्दिष्टम् ॥ १८६ ॥
189. The fit end begun matter is an infinite part of the (whole begun) matter which exists in the extent of each (whether it be one-body or not-one-body extent, Eka, or Aneka Kshetra). The rest is unfit and begun matter. So it has been said.
