## First Understanding: Explanation of Existence
**[113 Avasarpini's / From the field to infinite Lokas, to countless Pudgalparavart / In the countless parts of Pravalika, as many Pudgalparavart as there are times, a stationary being can remain in the stationary form. Bante! How long can a being remain in this form? Gautam! From the lowest to Antarmuhurt and from the highest to countless Utsarpini-Pravpinis / From the field to countless Lokas / Bhagavan! What is the difference in stationary beings? Gautam! As much as their accumulation time is, that is, countless Utsarpini-Avasarpini times; from the field to countless Lokas / Bhagavan! What is the difference in "S"? Gautam! From the lowest to Antarmuhurt and from the highest to the time of plants / Bhagavan! Among these "Basas" and stationary beings, who is less, more, equal or privileged? Gautam! The "Trasas" are the least / Stationary beings are infinitely more than them. This is the description of these two types of worldly beings. This two-fold understanding, called the first understanding, is complete. Discussion - In this sutra, the existence, body-existence, difference and less-more-ness of "Prasas" and stationary beings have been explained. The existence of stationary beings is said to be from the lowest to Antarmuhurt and from the highest to a thousand years of "Bavo". This situation should be understood by taking the earth-body, because such a high existence is not possible for other stationary bodies. The lowest existence of "Trasas" is said to be Antarmuhurt and the highest is thirty-three "Sagaropama". This should be understood in relation to Devas and Narakas / Other "Trasas" do not have such a high existence. The meaning of body-existence is the calculation of those existences when one is born again and again in the same body / For example, all the time that a stationary-bodied being is born as a stationary being, that should be understood as its body-existence. How much is the body-existence of a stationary being? This means how long does a stationary being continuously take birth as a stationary being. In answering this question, it is said that from the lowest to Antarmuhurt and from the highest to infinite time, a stationary being continues to take birth and death as a stationary being / This infinite time has been explained in relation to time and field. From the point of view of time, a stationary being can remain as a stationary being for infinite Utsarpini and Avasarpini times. From the point of view of the field, this infinity is explained as follows: in infinite Lokas, as many sky-regions as there are, if one takes away one at a time, the time it takes is infinite Avasarpini-Utsarpini time. Explaining this infinity in terms of Pudgalparavart, it is said that in countless Pudgalparavart (field Pudgalparavart), as many Utsarpini's...**
