[The sixth viz 1. *Dharmastikāya, 2. Dharmāstikāya deśa (part of Dharmā stikāya), 3. Dharmāstikāya pradeśa (Body of Dharmastikāya) 4. A-dharmāsti kāya, 5. A-dharmāstikāya deśa (part of A-dharmā. sti kāya), 6. A-dharmāsti kāya pradeśa (body of a-dharmāsti kāya), 7. Ākāśāstikāya (predicament of space), 8. Ākāśāsti kāya deśa (part of Ākāśāsti kāya), 9.

While describing the ten varieties of Dharmāstikāya etc. mentioned above, although the deśas or various portions of each one of them, are one with them, they are necessarily taken as completely different entities. So, there is all the more reason for taking parts like tail etc. of house-lizard etc, that have already been cut off from the main boilies of jīvas as separate entities, which being naturally different from jivas, as well as a-jīvas, may again be taken under the category of no-jīvas.
According to Samabhirūdha nayas a part of the whole jiva is taken as no-jiva. Thus, the category of no-jiva is not only my conception, but it is laid down by the religious principles, as well. It has also been said in Anuyogadvāra Sūtra “Samabhira. dho saddanayam bhaņai jai kammadhāraeņa bhaņasi to evam bhaņāhi. Jive ya se paese, ya se sa-paese no-jīve."
* Dharmāstikāya. There is no English equivalent for the Jaina terms -Dharmāstikāya and A-dharmāstikāya. Dharmāstikāya may be rendered as the cosmic principle which upholds (or simply conditions), the order of simultaneous (or consentaneous ) movements in the world answering somewhat to Leibneitz's Preestablished harmony. Dharmāstikāya is not simply the accompanying cause of movements -it is something more-it is the cause (or condition) of the system of movements-the fact of an order in movements of Jiva and Pudgala. (-Dr. Seal.) A-dharmāstikāya is the reverse of Dharmastikāya,
