## Second Chapter: The Scarcity of Eunuchs **[177] Gautama!** The fewest eunuchs are those who are *antarvipik* (inhabiting the inner earth). The eunuchs of *Devakuru* and *Uttarakuru* (regions of the earth) are twice as numerous as those of the *antarvipik* region. In this way, the eunuchs of the *karmabhumik* (regions of action) of *Purva Videha* and *Paschim Videha* are twice as numerous as those of *Devakuru* and *Uttarakuru*. **(5)** O Bhagavan! Among the *nairyik* (hellish) eunuchs, the *nairyik* eunuchs of the *Ratnaprabha* earth, and the *nairyik* eunuchs of the seventh earth downwards, among the *tiryanchyonik* (animal) eunuchs, among the *ekendriya* (one-sensed) *tiryanchyonik*, among the *prithvikaayik* (earth-bodied) *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik*, and among the *vanaspatikaayik* (plant-bodied) *tiryanchyonik*, among the *dwiindriya* (two-sensed), *triindriya* (three-sensed), *chaturindriya* (four-sensed), and *panchendriya* (five-sensed) *tiryanchyonik*, among the *jalachar* (aquatic), *sthalachar* (terrestrial), and *khechar* (aerial) beings, among the human eunuchs, among the *karmabhumik* human eunuchs, among the *akarmabhumik* (regions of inaction) human eunuchs, and among the *antarvipik* human eunuchs, who are fewer, more, equal, or more special than whom? **Gautama!** The fewest are the *nairyik* eunuchs of the seventh earth downwards. The *nairyik* eunuchs of the sixth earth are countless times more numerous than them. The *nairyik* eunuchs of the second earth are countless times more numerous than those of the sixth earth. The human eunuchs of the *antarvipik* region are countless times more numerous than those of the second earth. The eunuchs of the *Devakuru* and *Uttarakuru* *akarmabhumik* are twice as numerous as those of the *antarvipik* region. The eunuchs of the *karmabhumik* of *Purva Videha* and *Paschim Videha* are twice as numerous as those of *Devakuru* and *Uttarakuru*. The *nairyik* eunuchs of *Ratnaprabha* are countless times more numerous than those of the *karmabhumik* of *Purva Videha* and *Paschim Videha*. The *khechar* *panchendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are countless times more numerous than those of *Ratnaprabha*. The *sthalachar* *panchendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are twice as numerous as the *khechar* *panchendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *jalachar* *panchendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are twice as numerous as the *sthalachar* *panchendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *chaturindriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are more special than the *jalachar* *panchendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *triindriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are more special than the *chaturindriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *dwiindriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are more special than the *triindriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *tejaskaayik* (fire-bodied) *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are countless times more numerous than the *dwiindriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *prithvikaayik* *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are more special than the *tejaskaayik* *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *apkaayik* (water-bodied) *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are more special than the *prithvikaayik* *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *vaayukaayik* (air-bodied) *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are more special than the *apkaayik* *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. The *vanaspatikaayik* *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs are infinitely more numerous than the *vaayukaayik* *ekendriya* *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. **Discussion:** This sutra explains the scarcity in five ways. Firstly, it describes the general scarcity of *nairyik*, *tiryanchyonik*, and human eunuchs. Secondly, it describes the scarcity of the seven types of *nairyik*. Thirdly, it describes the scarcity of the different types of *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs. Fourthly, it describes the scarcity of the different types of human beings. Fifthly, it describes a mixed scarcity of both general and special types. **(1)** In the first type of scarcity, it is asked who is fewer, more, equal, or more special than whom among the *nairyik* eunuchs, *tiryanchyonik* eunuchs, and human eunuchs.
