पश्चाशदेकादश षट्कृतिः विंशशतमष्टचत्वारिंशत् द्वयोश्चत्वारिंशत्। विंशाष्टत्रिंशत् विंशं षोडशाष्ट च चत्वार अष्टैव ॥ ३६४ ॥
394. (There are) fifty, eleven, square of six (viz., 36), one hundred and twenty. forty eight, forty in each of two, .. twenty thirty-eight plus 20, i.e. 58), twenty, sixteen, eight, four, and eight (divisions respectively in fourteen stages).
Commentary. The difference between what has been said here and described before is as follows:
(1) In downfall stage, 12 places have been said before, here there is one less, as a soul with second subsidential rigat-belief having a bondage of celestial age coming down to downfall stage will not die here.
(2) In the eighth stage, 24 places have been described before in subsidential ladder. Only 16 have been mentioned here, by deducting 8 places having reference to existence of four error-f passions in bondage, and non-bondage, each. There are four places in the destructive ladder. Thus 20 have been mentioned here.
(3) In the 9th stage only 16 instead of the 24 mentioned before have been taken for subsidential ladder and after adding the 36 mentioned above and the four mentioned here in connection with absence of deceit, there are altogether 56 places and 53 divisions.
(4) In the 10th stage, only 16 instead of 24 as above for subsidential and 4 for destructive; 20 places in all, have been mentioned.
(5) In the 11th stage, only 16 instead of 24 have been mentioned.
एवं सत्तहाणं सवित्थरं वरिणयं मए सम्मं । जो पढइ सुणइ भावइ सो पावइ णिव्वुदि सोक्खं ॥३६५॥ एवं सत्त्वस्थान सविस्तरं वर्णितं मया सम्यक् । यः पठति शृणोति भावयति स प्राप्नोति निवृतिं सौख्यम् ॥३६॥
395. Thus existence places in detail have been properly described by me. He who reads, hears and meditates attains the happiness of Liberation.
