XLI. RASĪJUMMA-SAYA.
1 (975) There are four kinds of numbers (rāsījum m a) called kadajumma, teoya, dāvarajumma and kalioya or rāsī-jummakadajumma etc.
rāsi-jumma is jumma in the sense of rāsi (cf. XVIII 4') scil. ‘number in general' as against the 'small numbers' in XXXI 1 and the 'great numbers' in XXXV i rl; also see Introduction $ 6.
2 (975b) a. Origin of a rāsī-jumma-kadajumma group of H (r.-j.-k.-neraiyā), ref. to Pannav. 6: repetition of XXXI 12a, section 1. b. The number of such H originating simultaneously: repetition of XXXI 12a, section 2. c. On the question whether there is an interim on the occasion of their rebirth or not (s'antara and nirantara). d. In a given samaya these souls (te ... jīvā) can form only one kind of rāsī-jumma. e. The way (976a) in which they originate: repetition of XXXI 12a, section 3. f. These H are born and live 'without merit' (āya-ajasenam uvavajjanti, āya-ajasam uvajīvanti) scil., according to Abhay., 'without exerting themselves' (yaśas: samyama). g. As a result of what has been said under f above they possess lessā (are salessa), are active (sakiriya etc.) and cannot attain liberation during that very existence (ten' eva bhava-ggahanenam).
3 (976) The same applies to all other beings with the exception that M, under f, may (but not necessarily do) live āya-jasam in which case, under g, they are alessa and akiriya and consequently attain liberation in that very existence, or they are salessa etc. * *
