## Third Pratyapatti: Avagahanavara [233]
O Bhagavan! If the Nairyikas of this Ratnaprabha earth were to be taken away one by one every moment, in how much time would this Ratnaprabha earth become empty?
Gautama! The Nairyika beings are innumerable. Even if one Nairyika were to be taken away every moment, even after countless Utsarpini and Avasarpini kalpas have passed, this earth would not become empty. Similarly, this should be said for the seventh earth.
To explain the number of Naraka beings, it has been established through Asatkल्पना that if one Naraka were to be taken away every moment, even after countless Utsarpini and Avasarpini kalpas have passed, their removal would occur. Such a removal has never happened, does not happen, and will never happen. This is merely a hypothetical scenario, created to explain the number of Naraka beings.
Avagahanavara 86. [3]
O Bhagavan! What are the two types of body sizes of the Nairyikas on the Ratnaprabha earth?
Gautama! There are two types of body sizes, namely: Bhavadharani and Uttarveubviya.
The Bhavadharani is as large as an angula (finger) multiplied by an uncountable number, and then multiplied by seven Dhanu (bows) and three Ratnis (jewels).
The Uttarveubviya is as large as an angula (finger) multiplied by an uncountable number, and then multiplied by fifteen Dhanu (bows) and eight Ratnis (jewels).
In summary:
* Bhavadharani: fifteen Dhanu (bows) and eight Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by an uncountable number of angulas.
* Uttarveubviya: thirty-one Dhanu (bows) and one Ratni (jewel) multiplied by an uncountable number of angulas.
Furthermore:
* Bhavadharani: one Ratni (jewel) multiplied by thirty-one Dhanu (bows).
* Uttarveubviya: two Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by thirty-one Dhanu (bows).
Additionally:
* Bhavadharani: two Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by sixty-two Dhanu (bows).
* Uttarveubviya: one hundred Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by nineteen Dhanu (bows).
Finally:
* Bhavadharani: one hundred Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by nineteen Dhanu (bows).
* Uttarveubviya: one hundred Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by eight Dhanu (bows).
* Bhavadharani: one hundred Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by eight Dhanu (bows).
* Uttarveubviya: one hundred Ratnis (jewels) multiplied by five Dhanu (bows).
