seen to exist. Space is divided into two parts, the universe-space (lokākāśa) and the non-universe-space (alokākāśa). The universe (loka) has been described. Space in the universe is the universe-space (lokākāśa). And beyond it is the infinite non-universe-space (alokākāśa). The distinction between the universe (loka) and the nonuniverse (aloka) should be known by the presence and absence of the media of motion and of rest. In the universe-space (lokākāśa) there is the presence of the media of motion and of rest. Outside this space is the infinite non-universe-space (alokākāśa). If the medium of motion 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 did not exist in the universespace, there would be no certain cause of assisting rest. Things will not be stationary, or there will be no distinction 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 and non-universe is established.
The extent of their pervasiveness is mentioned next.

[धर्माधर्मयोः] धर्म और अधर्म द्रव्य का अवगाह [ कृत्स्ने] (तिल में तेल की तरह) समग्र लोकाकाश में है।
The medium of motion (dharma) and the medium of rest (adharma) pervade the entire universe-space (lokākāśa).
The word “kştsna' indicates all-pervasiveness. The media of motion and of rest are not situated in the universe like the pitcher in the house. These two pervade the entire universe (without leaving any inter-space), in the manner of the oil in the sesamum seed. And all
