THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
अंगुलअसंखभागप्पमाणमेत्तऽवरफड्यावड्डी।
अंतरछक मुच्चा अवरहाणादु उक्करसं ॥ २३०॥ . अङ्गलासंख्यभागप्रमाणमात्रावरस्पर्धकवृद्धिः।
अन्तरषटूकं मुरुत्वा अवरस्थानादुत्कृष्टम् ॥ २३० ॥
230. An innumerable part of a (linear) finger (is) the measure of increase of minimum Spardhakas (from one vibratory division to another). Leaving six intervals, (as stated in Gatha following), (we thus proceed) from the minimum to the maximum (vibratory division).
Commentary. The measure of increases of degrees of vibration from one vibratory division to another till the maximum vibratory division is equal to the number of spatial units in an innumerable part of a linear finger. Minimum vibratory division is found at the birth time of completely undevelopable fine common soul. The second division will be found by adding the degrees stated above.
सरिसायामेणुवरि सेढिअसंखेजभागठाणाणि । .. चडिदेकेकमपुव्वं फड्ढयमिह जायदे चयदो॥२३१॥ - सदृशायामेनोपरि श्रेण्यसंख्येयभागस्थानानि । चटितैकैकमपूर्व स्पर्धकमिह जायते चयतः॥ २३१ ॥
231. Having passed " innumerable part of the basic line (of the universe)" vibratory divisions, beyond the length equal to (a minimum vibratory division), we reach a new (Apúrva) Spardhaka. Every one (of a new Spardhaka) is produced by the increase of this common difference (Chaya).
Commentary. The number of intervening vibratory divisions between two new Spardhakas is an innumerable part of a basic line of universe.
एदेसि ठाणाणं जीवसमासाण अवरवरविसयं । चउरासीदिपदेहि अप्पाबहुगं परूवेमो ॥ २३२ ॥ एतेषां स्थानानां जीवसमासानामवरवरविषयं । चतुरशीतिपदैः अल्पबहुकं प्ररूपयामः ॥ २३२॥
