GOMMATASARA.

Notice also that the passionless vibratory-activity is still the cause of inflow of Karmic and Quasi-Karmic matter into the soul. The quasi-Karmic matter, i.e., Áháraka, speech, mind, and electric molecules are assimilited, but the Karmic molecules merely touch the soul for an instant and pass away without binding. Note also that where there is no passion there is inflow only of the molecules of pleasant feeling-Karma (sátá vedaniya). Where there is passion, there is an inflow every instant of all the Karmas except the age Karma.
..Sub-Chapter X.-Number (Sankhyá). किण्हादिरासिमावलि असंखभागेण भजिय पविभत्ते । हीणकमा कालं वा अस्सिय दव्वा दु भजिदव्वा ॥ ५३७॥ कृष्णादिराशिमावल्यसंखभागेन भक्त्वा प्रविभक्ते । हीनक्रमा कालं वा आश्रित्य द्रव्याणि तु भक्तव्यानि ॥ ५३७॥
537. The total of (souls) with black, etc., (i. e. black, blue, and grey thought-paints), (should be) divided by an innumerable part of an Ávali ; (the quotient) subtracted from the total and the balance equally divided among the three (thought-paints). (The quotient should) again be divided (by an innumerable part of an Ávalí), (and the resulting quotient subtracted from the first quotient, and added to one of the three equal parts, to get the number of souls in black thought-paint). (The process indicated in Gatha 179 should be adopted to find out the number of souls with other thought-paints). (Soul) substances (may be) described on the basis of time, also, by division, etc. in order, (according to the above process).
Commentary, Let the number of souls with all the three bad thought-paints be 3525, and let an innumerable part of an Ávalí be 5. Then 3525-5 - 705. And 3525-705-2820. And 2820 should be equally distributed among the three thought-paints. And 2820 : 3 940, which should be assigned to each of the three thought-paints. 705 should again be divided by 5. And the quotient 141, being subtracted from 705, and the balance added to 940, we get 705-141-940 - 1504.
