[160] The second *alpabahutva* (scarcity) is stated with respect to the *aprathamasamayika* (non-first-time) souls. It is as follows: The fewest are the *aprathamasamaya* (non-first-time) *panchendriya* (five-sensed) souls, then the *aprathamasamaya* *chaturindriya* (four-sensed) souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *triindriya* (three-sensed) souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *dviindriya* (two-sensed) souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *ekendriya* (one-sensed) souls are infinitely numerous. The third *alpabahutva* is with respect to the *prathamasamaya* (first-time) and *aprathamasamaya* souls in each *ekendriya* etc. It is as follows: The fewest are the *prathamasamaya* *ekendriya* souls, because they are born in a single time period from the *dviindriya* etc. The *aprathamasamaya* *ekendriya* souls are infinitely numerous, because the *vanaspatikala* (plant-like state) is infinite. Among the *dviindriya* souls, the fewest are the *prathamasamaya* *dviindriya* souls, the *aprathamasamaya* *dviindriya* souls are innumerable times more numerous, because the *dviindriya* souls are innumerable even by number. Similarly, among the *triindriya*, *chaturindriya*, and *panchendriya* souls, the *prathamasamaya* souls are fewer and the *aprathamasamaya* souls are innumerable times more numerous. The fourth *alpabahutva* is stated with respect to the aforementioned ten categories. It is as follows: The fewest are the *prathamasamaya* *panchendriya* souls, then the *prathamasamaya* *chaturindriya* souls are more numerous, then the *prathamasamaya* *triindriya* souls are more numerous, then the *prathamasamaya* *dviindriya* souls are more numerous, then the *prathamasamaya* *ekendriya* souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *panchendriya* souls are innumerable times more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *chaturindriya* souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *triindriya* souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *dviindriya* souls are more numerous, then the *aprathamasamaya* *ekendriya* souls are infinitely numerous. The reasoning is clear. Thus, the ten types of *pratipatti* (understanding) are complete. With their completion, the *jivaabhigam* (approach of the soul) that leads to the cessation of the cycle of birth and death is also complete. 00
