[135] The tejas (fiery) substance is only in the manushya-kshetra (human realm), while the bādar (gross) vanaspati-kāya (plant-bodied beings) are in all the three lokas (worlds). Therefore, the asankhyeya-guna (innumerable qualities) of the kshetra (realm) make the bādar tejaskāyikas (fiery-bodied beings) have innumerable bādar vanaspati-kāyika (gross plant-bodied) in each body. From them, the bādar nigoda (extremely subtle beings) have asankhyeya-guna, because due to extremely subtle pervasion and mostly being ubiquitous in water, panak, sevāla, etc. are inevitably present in water, thus the asankhyeya-guna are manifested. From the bādar nigoda, the bādar prithvī-kāyika (earth-bodied beings) have asankhyeya-guna, because they are present in the eight earths, all the vimānas (celestial abodes), all the bhavanas (buildings) and mountains, etc. From them, the bādar apakāyika (water-bodied beings) have asankhyeya-guna, because there is abundance of water in the oceans. From them, the bādar vāyu-kāyika (air-bodied beings) have asankhyeya-guna, because air is also possible in the polar regions. From them, the bādar vanaspati-kāyika have ananta-guna (infinite qualities), because there are infinite jīvas (living beings) in each bādar nigoda. From them, the sāmānya (general) bādar are vishesha-adhika (superior), because the bādar trasaka-yika (mobile-bodied beings) etc. are also included in them.
(2) The second alpa-bahutva (rarity-abundance) is regarding the aparyāptas (non-developed) of these shatkāyas (six bodily realms). The least are the bādar trasaka-yika aparyāptas (the reason for which was explained earlier), from them the bādar tejas-kāyika aparyāptas have asankhyeya-guna, because they are of the measure of innumerable lokākāshas (spatial units). In this way, the alpa-bahutva should be understood from the previously stated.
(3) The third alpa-bahutva is related to the paryāptas (developed) of the shatkāyas. The least are the bādar tejas-kāyika, because they are equal to the time of the square of the pāvalika (a unit of time) minus a little time. From them, the bādar asaka-yika paryāptas have asankhyeya-guna, because they are equal to the countable parts of an angula (finger-breadth) in the pratar (a unit of measurement). From them, the prati-sarīrī (in each body) vanaspati-kāyika paryāptas have asankhyeya-guna, because they are equal to the innumerable parts of an angula in the pratar. From them, the bādar nigoda paryāptakas have asankhyeya-guna, because they have extremely subtle pervasion and are ubiquitous in water bodies. From them, the bādar prithvī-kāyika paryāptas have asankhyeya-guna, because they are of the measure of the innumerable parts of an angula in the pratar. From them, the bādar ap-kāyika paryāptas have asankhyeya-guna, because they are of the measure of the innumerable parts of an angula in the pratar. From them, the bādar vāyu-kāyika paryāptas have asankhyeya-guna, because they are equal to the spatial regions of the countable parts of the innumerable prataras in the dhani-krita (concentrated) loka. From them, the bādar vanaspati paryāptas have ananta-guna, because there are infinite jīvas in each bādar nigoda. From them, the sāmānya (general) bādar paryāptakas are vishesha-adhika, because all the paryāptas like bādar tejas-kāyika, etc. are included in them.
(4) The fourth alpa-bahutva is said regarding the paryāptas and aparyāptas of each of them. Everywhere, the asankhyeya-guna of the aparyāptas should be said to be from the paryāptas. From the bādar prithvī-kāya to the bādar trasa-kāya, everywhere:
Goyamā! The sthānas (abodes) of the paryāpta (developed) bādar vanaspati-kāyikas are declared to be in the seven oceans, the seven ocean-encircled regions, the underworld, the bhavana-prathadas (surfaces of buildings), the upper lokas, the vimāna-āvalīs (rows of celestial abodes), the vimāna-prathadas (surfaces of celestial abodes), the agada (uneven) regions of the transverse loka, the lakes, rivers, lakes, ponds, pools, springs, marshes, swamps, pits, islands, oceans, and all the water-bodies and water-places. And wherever the sthānas of the paryāpta bādar vanaspati-kāyikas are declared, there the sthānas of the aparyāpta bādar vanaspati-kāyikas are also declared. - Pragyāpanā Sthānapada
