Uttaradhyayana or Uttaradhyayana Sutra is a Śvētāmbara text said to be one of the final set lectures given by Lord Mahavira before his liberation.
The Thirty Sixth Chapter
On living beings and things without life
Now learn from me with attentive minds the division of Living Beings and Things without life [3], which a monk must know who is to exert himself in self-control.
The Living Beings and the Things without life make up this world (Loka); but the space where only Things without life are found is called the Non-world (Aloka).
The Living Beings and the Things without life will be described with reference to 1. substance,
2. place,
3. time, and
4. development.
Things without life.
Things without life are
1. possessing form,
2. formless; the formless things are of ten kinds, those possessing form are of four kinds.
The ten kinds of formless things:
1. Dharma
2. its divisions
3. its indivisible parts
4. Adharma
5. its divisions
6. its indivisible parts
7. space
