________________ 88 OUTLINES OF JAINISM 2). जीवा पुग्गल काया धम्माहम्मा तहेव अायासं । अस्थित्तेहि य णियदा अणणमया अणु महंता ॥ ४ ॥ Ibid. 4. Soul (jiva), matter (pudgala) and bodies, principle of motion (dharma), principle of stationariness (adharma), and space (ākāśa) are steady in their state of existence, and are not distinct from their existence (sattā). These have many atoms (aņu). 23. FeaT: JOIT YÅTuhastatata 11511 आकाशस्थानन्ताः ॥ ९॥ सोयासयेयाश्च पुद्गलानाम् ॥ १० ॥ Tattvārtha-sútra, v, 8–10. Principle of motion (dharma), principle of stationariness (adharma), the individual soul (jīva)—each has innumerable units of space (pradeśas). Space has infinite pradeśas. Matter (pudgala) has pradeśas which may be numbered or which may not be numbered (and which are infinite]. (Note.—Molecule (skandha) can be numbered as to its atoms (paramāņu). Some skandhas cannot be numbered, as their constituent atoms may be numberless, e.g. a mountain. Some skandhas will contain an infinity of atoms, as an ocean, the world.] 24. जेसिं अस्थि सहाओ गुणे हि सह पज्जएहि विविहेहिं । ने हीति अस्थिकाया णिप्पणं जेहि तेलोकं ॥ ५॥ Panchāstikāya, 5. Those of which the existence is accompanied with various attributes and modifications, and which are substances (astikāya), form the constituent elements of the three worlds.
