There are no \[whole\] jīvas, but there are portions of jīvas, and space-points of jīvas, and ajīvas, and portions of ajīvas, and space-points of ajīvas.

Likewise also at the western, and also at the northern. > "Venerable Sir, at the upper extremity of the world, are there jīvas?"—\[this is\] the question. > "Gautama!

As the four extremities of Ratnaprabhā have been stated, so also for Śarkarāprabhā. The upper and lower are as at the lower \[extremity\] of Ratnaprabhā. Thus up to the seventh \[earth\] below. > So also for Saudharma up to Acyuta.
