Jinabhadra Gani's [The second इति ? | विषमत्वं वा कुतो न भवति-केचनापि प्रदेशा जीवाः, केचित्तु अजीवा इति ? अनियमेन सर्वविकल्पसिद्धिर्वा कस्माद् न भवति, स्वेच्छया सर्वपक्षाणामपि वक्तुं शक्यत्वात् इति ।।२३३९॥
D. C. If you take all the pradeśas as having jivatva along with the last prrdeśa, every jīva will have to be taken as composed of a number of other jivas. If you do not take them as jīvas, there would be absolute negation of jīvatva. Still, however, ignoring the fact that the last pradesa is, in no way, different from other pradesas, so far as purnatva is concerned, if you insist with your own sweet will that the last portion is jiva, and the rest are a-jīvas, then, like the free will of kings etc. you could, as well, insist upon the reverse statement viz-that the first etc. are jivas and the last is a-jiva. Or, why not say vaguely that some of them are jivas and some are a jivas ? Or, you could prove the validity of all the possible alternatives. For, being dependent upon your free will, you can opine on all sides, 44 (2339) जं सव्वहा न वीसुं सम्वेसु वि तं न रेणुतेल्लं व । सेसेसु असन्भूओ जीवो कहमंतिमपरसे १ ॥४५॥२३४०॥ 45. Jam savvahā na visum savvesu vi tam na reņutellam vai
Sesesu asabbhao jivo kahamantimapaese? (2340) [यत् सर्वथा न विष्वक् सर्वेष्वपि तद् न रेणुतैलमिव ।
शेषेष्वसद्भूतो जीवः कथमन्तिमप्रदेशे ? ॥४५॥२३४०॥ 45. Yat sarvathā na visvak sarvesvapi tad na reņutailamivai
Sesesyasadbhuto jivah kathamantimapradese ? (2340)]
Trans 45. That which does not entirely exist separately, does not even exist in all parts (combined together ) like the (drop of) oil in sands. Similarly, when jiva is not present in other pa is, how could it exist in the last portion ? 2340.
