________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha जीव का देहप्रमाणपना - The soul (jiva) expands or contracts according to the size of the body (sarira) - जह पउमरायरयणं खित्तं खीरे पभासयदि खीरं / तह देही देहत्थो सदेहमेत्तं पभासयदि // 33 // यथा पद्मरागरत्नं क्षिप्तं क्षीरे प्रभासयति क्षीरम् / तथा देही देहस्थः स्वदेहमानं प्रभासयति // 33 // अन्वयार्थ - [यथा] जिस प्रकार [ पद्मरागरत्नं] पद्मरागरत्न [क्षीरे क्षिप्तं] दूध में डाला जाने पर [क्षीरम् प्रभासयति ] दूध को प्रकाशित करता है, [ तथा ] उसी प्रकार [ देही ] देही (जीव) [ देहस्थः ] देह में रहता हुआ [स्वदेहमानं प्रभासयति ] स्वदेह-प्रमाण प्रकाशित होता है। Just as the lotus-hued-ruby (padmaraga ratna) immersed in milk imparts its sheen (prabha) to the whole of milk, similarly, the possessor-of-the-body (dehi), i.e., the soul (jiva), while in the body, imparts its sheen to the whole of body. EXPLANATORY NOTE The sheen (prabha) of the lotus-hued-ruby (padmaraga ratna) that has been immersed in a jug filled with milk spreads to the whole of milk. Similarly, the soul (jiva) that inhabits a particular body spreads its space-points (pradesa) to the whole of body. Upon boiling, as the milk expands, the sheen of the ruby too expands, and as the milk settles down, the sheen too contracts to the smaller volume of the milk. Similarly, as the body expands due to intake of food, etc., the space-points (pradesa) of the soul expand, and as the body shrinks due . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . 78
