________________ Verse 91 were to happen, the fault called 'samkara' would arise. Also, these substances do not transmute their specific qualities to another; if this were to happen, the fault called 'uyatikara'would arise. (see also verse 7, p. 17-18, ante). Space (akasa) is divided into two parts, the universe-space (lokakasa) and the non-universe-space (alokakasa). Space in the universe is the universe-space (lokakasa). And beyond it is the infinite non-universe non-universe (aloka) should be known by the presence or absence of the media of motion and of rest. In the universe-space (lokakasa) there is the presence of the media of motion and of rest. Outside this space is the infinite non-universe-space (alokakasa). If the medium-of-motion (dharma dravya) did not exist in the universe-space, there would be no certain cause of movement. And then there would be no distinction of the universe and the non-universe. If the medium-of-rest (adharma dravya) did not exist in the universe-space, there would be no certain cause of assisting rest. Things will not be stationary, or there will be no listinction of the universe and the non-universe. Therefore, owing to the existence of both, the media of motion and of rest, the distinction of universe (loka) and non-universe (aloka) is established. Acarya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: धम्माऽधम्मा कालो पुग्गलजीवा य संति जावदिये / आयासे सो लोगो तत्तो परदो अलोगुत्तो // 20 // धर्म, अधर्म, काल, पुद्गल और जीव - ये पाँचों द्रव्य जितने आकाश में हैं, वह तो लोकाकाश है और उस लोकाकाश के आगे अलोकाकाश है। The part of space (akasa) which contains the medium-of-motion (dharma), the medium-of-rest (adharma), the substance of time (kala), the matter (pudgala) and the souls (jiva) is the universespace (lokakasa), beyond which is the non-universe-space (alokakasa). . . . . . . . . . . 2 179
