## Second Consideration: Alpabahutva [161]
Why is the number of *Ishaan* considered as the proof? The answer is that it is so by nature. This is stated in all the scriptures like *Prajnaapana* etc.
The *Bhavanaaasi* Devas are countless times more than the *Soudharma* Devas. Because, the number of *Aakash Pradesh* in one *Pradeshika* category of the dense *Lok* is equal to the square root of the square root of the *Pradesh* quantity of an area of one *Angul* (finger width). The *Bhavanaaasi* Devas are 32 times more than this number.
The *Vyantar* Devas are countless times more than the *Bhavanaaasi* Devas. Because, the number of *Khand* in one *Pradeshika* category is equal to the number of *Kodaakodi* *Yojan* in one *Pratar*. The *Vyantar* Devas are 32 times more than this number.
The *Jyotishk* Devas are countless times more than the *Vyantar* Devas. Because, the number of *Khand* in one *Pratar* is equal to the number of *Pradeshika* categories in 256 *Angul*. The *Jyotishk* Devas are 32 times more than this number.
Now, the fifth *Alpabahutva* is the least number of *Antarveepik* humans. Because, their area is small. The humans of *Devakuru* and *Uttarakuru* are countless times more than them, because their area is large. Both are equal in their respective places, because their areas are equal.
The humans of *Harivarsh* and *Ramyakavarsh* are countless times more than the humans of *Devakuru* and *Uttarakuru*, because their area is much larger. Both are equal in their respective places, because their areas are equal.
The humans of *Haemvat* and *Haranvavt* are countless times more than the humans of *Harivarsh* and *Ramyakavarsh*, because even though their area is small, their abundance is due to the smallness of their location. Both are equal in their respective places.
The humans of *Bharat* and *Airavat* *Karmabhoomi* are countless times more than the humans of *Haemvat* and *Haranvavt*, because during the time of *Ajit* Prabhu, there is naturally an abundance of humans in the highest position. Both are equal in their respective places, because their areas are equal.
The humans of *Purva Videh* and *Paschim Videh* are countless times more than the humans of *Bharat* and *Airavat* *Karmabhoomi*, because their area is large and naturally there is an abundance of humans during the time of *Ajit* Swami. Both are equal in their respective places.
The *Anuttaroppaatik* Devas are countless times more than the humans of *Purva Videh* and *Paschim Videh*. Because, they are equal to the number of *Aakash Pradesh* in countless parts of the *Kshetrapalyopama*.
The *Uparitan Aveyak* Devas, *Madhyam Aveyak* Devas, *Adhastan Greveyak* Devas, *Achyutkalp* Devas, *Paranakalp* Devas, *Pranatakalp* Devas, and *Anatakalp* Devas are countless times more than the *Anuttaroppaatik* Devas, in that order.
The *Sahasraarakalp* Devas, *Lantakalp* Devas, *Brahmalokkalp* Devas, *Maheendrakalp* Devas, *Sanatkumarakalp* Devas, and *Ishaanakalp* Devas are countless times more than the previous Devas, in that order.
The *Soudharmakalp* Devas are countless times more than the *Ishaanakalp* Devas.
The *Bhavanaaasi* Devas are countless times more than the *Soudharmakalp* Devas.
The *Khechar* *Tiryanch* *Yoni* are countless times more than the *Bhavanaaasi* Devas. Because, they are equal to the number of *Aakash Pradesh* in countless parts of countless *Shreni* in one *Pratar*.
