[146] The difference between **Nairyikas** is a minimum of an **antarmuhurt** and a maximum of **vanaspatikala** (infinite time). Except for **tiryakyonikas**, the difference for all others should be considered the same. The difference between **tiryakyonikas** is a minimum of an **antarmuhurt** and a maximum of **sadhik sagaropama shataprithaktva**.
The relative abundance is as follows: the fewest are **human females**, then **humans** are countless times more, then **Nairyikas** are countless times more, then **tiryak striyas** are countless times more, then **Devas** are countless times more, then **Devis** are countable times more, and finally **tiryakyonikas** are infinite times more.
This sevenfold **samsara**-ending **pratipatti** is complete.
**Discussion:** According to the sevenfold **pratipatti**, there are seven types of **samsara**-ending beings: **Nairyikas**, **tiryakyonikas**, **tiryak striyas**, **humans**, **human females**, **Devas**, and **Devis**.
The **position**, **sanchittana**, **difference**, and **relative abundance** of these seven are explained in this **sutra**.
**Position:** The position of **Nairyikas** is a minimum of ten thousand years and a maximum of thirty-three **sagaropama**. The minimum position of **tiryakyonikas**, **tiryakyonika striyas**, **humans**, and **human females** is an **antarmuhurt** and a maximum of three **palyopama**. The position of **Devas** is a minimum of ten thousand years and a maximum of thirty-three **sagaropama**. The position of **Devis** is a minimum of ten thousand years and a maximum of fifty-five **palyopama**. This position is relative to the **Isan Devis** who are not subject to **parigriha**.
**Sanchittana:** The **sanchittana** (body state) of **Nairyikas**, **Devas**, and **Devis** should be understood as the same as their **bhavasthiti** (state of being). This is because **Nairyikas** and **Devas** do not become **Nairyikas** or **Devas** in the next life after death. The **sanchittana** of **tiryakyonikas** is a minimum of an **antarmuhurt** (it is possible to be born elsewhere after this time) and a maximum of **anantakala** (infinite time). This **anantakala** is infinite in terms of **utsarpini-avsarpin** (ascending-descending time) and in terms of **kshetramargana** (spatial movement), it should be understood as the time it takes to empty countless **lokaakasha** regions by removing them one by one at a time. This **anantakala** is also countless in terms of **pudgalparavarta** (transformation of matter). The **sanchittana** (body state) of **tiryak striyas** is a minimum of an **antarmuhurt** and a maximum of **purvakotiprithaktva** plus three **palyopama**. This is relative to the seven **bhavas** (existences) with a lifespan of **purvakoti** and the eighth **bhavas** where they are born as **Devakuru** etc. The body state of **humans** and **human females** should be understood in the same way.
**Difference:** The difference between **Nairyikas** is a minimum of an **antarmuhurt**. This should be understood as the difference between being born in **naraka** (hell) and being born in a **tiryak** or **human** womb after being released from **naraka** and dying with an **ashubha adhyavasaya** (unfavorable determination). The maximum difference is **anantakala**. This **anantakala** should be understood as **vanaspatikala**. This is the difference between being released from **naraka** and living in a **vanaspati** (plant) for an infinite time and then being born again in **naraka**.
The minimum difference between **tiryakyonikas** is an **antarmuhurt** and the maximum difference is **sadhik sagaropama shataprithaktva** (two hundred to nine hundred **sagaropama**).
The difference between **tiryakyonikas**, **humans**, **human females**, **Devas**, and **Devis** is a minimum of an **antarmuhurt** and a maximum of **vanaspatikala**.
