Gathă 52 gives the number of souls that 14 Ega
attain Siddhahood in one samaya and 15 Anega
have the same linga in their last birth. (B) 1 Prathamasamayādi

Divisions and Sub-Divisions of Jivas (Living Beings)
Divisions of Siddhas We are to understand that all the jtvas are always existent either as the members of this or that class out of so many enumerated here. Again, the loka (universe) was not, is not and will never be devoid of even a single class out of so many mentioned here.
There are two main divisions of jlvas, viz. samsärts (souls in bondage) and siddha? (souls liberated). The sub-divisions enumerated here of the siddha division are not its real sub-divisions. They are simply based on the temporal considerations, that is, on the number of moments that have elapsed after their attainment of siddha-hood. Those siddhas who have attained the state of liberation in the immediately preceding moment (samaya) are technically called anaṁtara-siddha (Sk. anantara-siddha) or pratha- . masamaya-siddha.
On the basis of different conditions in which añantara-siddhas attained siddha-hood they are divided into fifteen divisions (sūtra-16). The siddhas in whose case two or more samayas have elapsed since their attainment of siddha-hood are called paramparasiddha (Sk. parampara-siddha). Of these parampara-siddhas there are infinite divisions because jivas have been attaining siddha-hood
