________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha व्यवहारकाल का स्वरूप - The empirical (vyavahara) time (kala) - समओ णिमिसो कट्ठा कला य णाली तदो दिवारत्ती / मासोदुअयणसंवच्छरो त्ति कालो परायत्तो // 25 // समयो निमिषः काष्ठा कला च नाली ततो दिवारात्रः / मासर्वयनसंवत्सरमिति कालः परायत्तः // 25 // अन्वयार्थ - [समयः] समय, [निमिषः] निमिष, [काष्ठा] काष्ठा, [कला च] कला, [नाली] घड़ी, [ ततः दिवारात्रः] अहोरात्र (दिवस), [मासर्वयनसंवत्सरम् ] मास, ऋतु और वर्ष - [इति कालः ] ऐसा जो काल है (अर्थात् व्यवहारकाल) [ परायत्तः] वह पराश्रित है। The (modes of) time (kala), known by 'samaya', 'nimisa', 'kastha', 'kala', and 'ghadi', resulting in dina-rata', 'masa', 'rtu', 'ayana', and 'varsa', are dependent. EXPLANATORY NOTE When theatom of matter-pudgala-paramanu - traverses slowly from one space-point (pradesa) to the other of space (akasa), it must cross over one kalanu to enter the other. The infinitesimal time taken by the atom of matter - pudgala-paramanu - to traverse slowly from one space-point (pradesa) to the other is the mode (paryaya) of the substance of time (kala dravya). This infinitesimal time is called the 'samaya'-indivisible unit of empirical (vyavahara) time. If individual kalanu were not separate and if it were possible for the kalanu to unite with each other, the mode (paryaya) of the substance of time (kala) - the 'samaya' - would not exist.1 1. see Acarya Kundakunda's Pravacanasara - Essence of the Doctrine, p. 179-180. . . . . . .. . 56
