154 2. The second term 'Sarvatah' means 'in all births or cycle of birth'. This indicates the time factor involving infinite past births and numerable, innumerable or infinite births of the future. 3. The third term 'due to three-fold activities' indicates the causes, how ? The activity characterised by the physical, vocal and mental actions has been defined in 6.1. There are specific activities for acquiring specific karmas. Thus, the terms connote the idea that the living being gets associated with mattergies transformed into karmas through the specific activities. 4. The term 'fine' is meant to indicate that the karmically absorbable mattergies are fine and not gross. The term describes the nature of karmic mattergies-they are fine. 5. The term 'homo-localisation' indicates the exclusion of heterolocation of soul space-points and karmic mattergy. Both of them are homo-located or located in the same space-points as occupied by the one. 6. The fifth term 'Sthitah' means 'Stationed' in a position, and it excludes any other type of motion or activity. This means that it is the stationary (and fine, homo-located) mattergies only which are transformed into karmas. Thus, these qualities indicate the nature of the karma species or mattergies. 7. The aphorism contains the term 'pervading in all the spacepoints of the soul'. This means that the karma space-points do not pervade only one, two, three or four etc. space-points of the soul. The karmic space-points are pervaded in all the soul space points spread over higher, lower or oblique directions. 8. The term 'infinite-times-infinite' is meant for excluding other quantitative aspects of the space-points. It is meant to indicate that neither numerable, nor innumerable, nor infinite space-points are intended here to be transformed into karmas, but it is only their infinitetimes-infinite number, (00) which is intended. These mattergic aggregates are equal to the infinite times the number of non-liberatables or infiniteth parts of the salvated ones : karma aggregates = 0 x no. of non-liberatables
= 1/00 x no. of salvated They occupy a space equal to the innumerableth part of a cubic Angula (ghanangula). They may have a duration of one, two, three, four, numerable and innumerable Samayas. They have five colours, five tastes, two smells and four touches. They are capable of transformation into oneness by the soul due to his three-fold activities. These mattergic
