THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
Commentary. This division is called increasing because in every instant of its duration, there is an innumerable-fold increase of indivisible units of degrees of increase (Avibhága Pratichchheda). .
Its duration is from the second instant of birth up to the last but one instant of the completion of the capacity to develope the body.
अविभागपडिच्छेदो वग्गो पुण वग्गणा य फड्डयगं । गुणहाणीवि य जाणे ठाणं पडि होदि णियमेण ॥ २२३॥ अविभागप्रतिच्छेदो वर्गः पुनः वर्गणा च स्पर्धकम् । गुणहानिरपि च जानीहि स्थानं प्रति भवति नियमेन ॥२२३॥
223. Indivisible units of degree of increase (Avi. bhága Pratichchheda make a), “ Varga". (Vargas make) a "vargana". (Varganas make) a "Spardhaka." And (Spardhakas make) a “Gunaháni." Know that every vibratory division is necessarily (composed of these).
Commentary. All vibratory divisions are in number equal to an innumerable part of the basic line of the universe (Jagat Shreni).
पल्लासंखेजदिमा गुणहाणिसला हवंति इगिठाणे। गुणहाणिफड्याओ असंखभागं तु सेढीये ॥ २२४ ॥ पल्यासंख्येमिमा गुणहानिशला भवन्ति एकस्थाने । गुणहानिस्पर्धकानि असंख्यभागं तु श्रेण्याः ॥ २२४ ॥
224. In one (vibratory) division, the number of Gunahání is an innumerable part of a Palya. (They are called Náná Gunaháni.) And the Spardhakas in one Gunaháni (are) an innumerable part of (the basic) line (of the universe).
फट्टयगे एकके वग्गणसंखा हु तत्तियालावा । एकेकवग्गणाए असंखपदरा हु वग्गाओ ॥ २२५॥ स्पर्धके एकैके वर्गणासंख्या हि तावदालापाः। एकैकवर्गणायामसंख्यप्रतरा हि वर्गाः॥ २२५ ॥
