________________ - 266 Jinabhadra Gani's The fourth मुव्यक्तचैतन्यलिङ्गाश्च यया तरवो न तथा लवणो-पल-जलादय इति harat dari Alfafafa 1120611 (8199€) 11 D. C.-Trees, corals, salts, and stones etc. are sa-cétana at their own places of production Because, the sprouts of these objects spring up, again and again, like the sprout of flesh springing up in the case of disease of piles etc. Vyakta :-Really speaking, you had started to establish sacétanatva in the elements like prithvî etc Then, what is the idea in proving sa-cétanatva first in the case of vanaspati and then in the case of prithvi ? Bhagavāna :- Vanaspati is nothing but a form of prithvi. Hence, out of the five bhitas, vanaspati resides only in prithvi. Moreover, the spirit of life is not so clearly manifested in stones etc. as it has been in case of vanaspati. For this reason, o Vyakta ! Caitanya is established first in vanaspati and then in prithvi. Now, the sa-cétanatva of water is established - भूमिक्खयसाभावियसंभवओ दद्दुरो व्व जलमुत्तं । महवा मच्छो व सभाववोमसंभूयपायाओ॥ २०९ ।। (१७५७) Bhūmikkhayasābhāviyasambhavao dadduro wa jalamuttam i Ahayā maccho va sabhāvavomasambhūyapāyāö 120911 (1757) [xford Tufanaat T FT HETI अथवा मत्यस्य इव स्वभावव्योमसंभूतपातात् ॥२०९॥ (१७५७) Bhūmiksatasvābhāvikasambhavato dardura iva jalamuktami Athavă matsya iva svabhāvavyomasambhūtapātāt 11 209 11 (1757)] Trans.-209 Water springing up naturally by digging the earth, is said to be living like a frog; or, by reason of its falling naturally from the sky, water is living like a fish.
