[Pragyapana Sutra] One by one, the asura-kumara have passed through infinite states of torment in the nāraka-avasthā, because in the past they have attained the nāraka-avasthā countless times, and in each nāraka-bhava, countless states of torment occur. The future states of torment in the nāraka-avasthā of one asura-kumara are present for some, and not present for others. For those who have them, they may be countable, innumerable, or infinite. The asura-kumara who will never be born in the nāraka-bhava, but will attain the siddha state in the next or subsequent birth after the human birth, does not have future states of torment related to the nāraka-paryāya, because he will not attain the nāraka-paryāya. The asura-kumara who will go to the nāraka after that birth in the lineage, has future states of torment, and among them, the one who will be born in the nāraka of the lowest state, has countable states of torment as well, because there is abundance of torment in the nāraka.
If he goes to the nāraka of the lowest state many times, he will have innumerable states of torment, and if he goes to the nāraka infinite times, he will have infinite states of torment.
Similarly, the asura-kumara has had infinite states of torment in the past in the asura-kumāra-avasthā, and in this state, the future states of torment are present for some, and not present for others. For those who have them, the lowest may be one, two or three, and the highest may be countable, innumerable or infinite. Among them, the asura-kumara who will be reborn as an asura-kumāra countable, innumerable or infinite times, will have future states of torment that are countable, innumerable or infinite respectively.
Just as the states of torment have been described for the asura-kumāra-avasthā, the same way the states of torment should be understood for the nāga-kumāra-avasthā and up to the vaimānika-avasthā. The idea is to understand how many past and future states of torment are there in the own-place (sva-sthāna) of the asura-kumāra, and how many states of torment are there in the other-places (para-sthāna) like the nāraka, etc. This should be understood for the nāga-kumāra and up to the vaimānikas as well, in the same way as described above.
In this way, by taking 24 danda-kas out of the 24 danda-kas, there are 1056 ālapaka, because 24 multiplied by 24 is 1056.
The kāṣāya-samudghāta, one by one, of the nāraka-avasthā of each nāraka have passed through infinite kāṣāya-samudghāta in the entire past time, and the future kāṣāya-samudghāta are present for some, and not present for others.
