## Ekona-saptati-sthānak-samvāya
**[127 Categories]**
This sutra describes the existence of 68 Vijayas, 68 Rajdhanis, 68 Tirthankaras, 68 Chakravartis, 68 Baladevas, and 68 Vasudevas, keeping in mind the 127 categories. At least 20 Tirthankaras are born in each of the five Maha-videha regions, and at most 160 Tirthankaras can be born. They reside and travel within their respective regions. The same applies to Chakravartis, etc. By combining two Bharata and two Airāvata regions associated with each of the five Merus (160+10=170), a total of 170 Tirthankaras and others can be born simultaneously. This is a crucial point to understand.
**341 -** The number of Shramanas with excellent Shramanasampada in the Sangha of Vimalnath Arhan was 68,000.

**Ekona-saptati-sthānak-samvāya 342 -** Excluding Mandar Parvat, there are 69 Varshas and Varshadhara Parvats in the Samaya-kshetra (human region or 2.5 islands), such as 35 Varshas (regions), 30 Varshadharas (mountains), and 4 Ishukara Parvats.
**Discussion:** There are seven regions associated with one Meru, including Bharata, etc. Therefore, there are 35 regions associated with the five Merus in the 2.5 islands. Similarly, there are six Varshadhara or Kulachal Parvats associated with each Meru, including Himavant, etc. There are two Ishukara Parvats in the Dhataki-khand and two in the Pushkaravardvipa-ardha, making a total of four. Combining all these (35+30+4=69), there are 69 Varshas and Varshadharas.
**343 -** The distance between the westernmost point of Mandar Parvat and the westernmost point of Gautam Dvipa is said to be 69,000 yojanas without any interruption.
**344 -** Excluding Mohaniya Karma, the remaining seven Karma-prakritis have 69 Uttar-prakritis (5+9+2+4+42+2+5=69).
