## Third Rebirth: The Gate of Descent [235]
The initial response in the first time is only as much as the numerical part of an angula. This is how one should understand the exaggeration. Therefore, the statement of the excellent *bhavadharani* and excellent *uttarakriya* descent in the subsequent earths is made in the original text.
(3) In the third *balukaprabha*, the excellent *bhavadharani* is 31 *dhanus* and 1 *hasta*, and the *uttarakriya* is 62 *dhanus*.
(4) In the fourth *pankaprabha*, the excellent *bhavadharani* is 62 *dhanus*, and the *uttarakriya* is 125 *dhanus*.
(5) In the fifth *dhumaprabha*, the excellent *bhavadharani* is 125 *dhanus*, and the *uttarakriya* is 250 *dhanus*.
(6) In the sixth *tamasprabha*, the excellent *bhavadharani* is 250 *dhanus*, and the *uttarakriya* is 500 *dhanus*.
(7) In the seventh *tamas-tamasprabha*, the excellent *bhavadharani* is 500 *dhanus*, and the *uttarakriya* is 1000 *dhanus*.
The excellent *bhavadharani* descent of each hellish earth is double that of the previous earth, and the *uttarakriya* descent of the *nairyikas* of each earth is double their *bhavadharani* descent.
The following table will help in understanding the descent:
| Earth Name | *Bhavadharani* | *Uttarakriya* |
|---|---|---|
| *Ratnapraba* | *Asankhyatava* of an angula | 7 *dhanus* 3 *hasta* 6 angula | *Asankhyatava* of an angula |
| *Sharkaraprabha* | 15 *dhanus* 2 *hasta* | 31 *dhanus* 1 *hasta* | 15 *dhanus* 2 *hasta* |
| *Balukaprabha* | 31 *dhanus* 1 *hasta* | 62 *dhanus* 2 *hasta* | 31 *dhanus* 1 *hasta* |
| *Pankaprabha* | 62 *dhanus* 2 *hasta* | 125 *dhanus* | 62 *dhanus* 2 *hasta* |
| *Dhumaprabha* | 125 *dhanus* | 250 *dhanus* | 125 *dhanus* |
| *Tamasprabha* | 250 *dhanus* | 500 *dhanus* | 250 *dhanus* |
| *Tamas-tamasprabha* | 500 *dhanus* | 1000 *dhanus* | 500 *dhanus* |
The measure of descent in the *prastutas* of *ratnapraba* etc. is as follows: *Ratnapraba* has 13 *prastutas*. In the first *prastuta*, the excellent descent is 3 *hasta*. After that, in each *prastuta*, there is an increase of 56 angulas. One should say this. With this measure, the descent of 13 *prastutas* is as follows:
