## Thirty-sixth Chapter of the Accumulation of Karma [251]
**Some beings have [accumulated karma], some do not. Those who have, their least [number of accumulations] is one, two, or three, and their greatest is numerous, innumerable, or infinite.**
**Similarly, from the hellish state of the fiery-bodied, air-bodied, plant-bodied, and the disabled-sensed, to the aerial beings, the past accumulations of karma are infinite, and the future accumulations of karma are least one, two, or three, and greatest are numerous, innumerable, or infinite.**
**In this way, all these are included in the twenty-four Dandakas, in the twenty-four Dandakas.**
**Therefore, in total, there are 1056 Dandakas.**
**The accumulation of karma leading to death should be understood in the same way as the one-by-one accumulation of karma, both in the self-state and in the other-state.**
**From the hellish state to the aerial beings, in the twenty-four Dandakas, the past accumulations of karma leading to death are infinite, both in the self-state and in the other-state, such as the state of the Asura-Kumaras.**
**The meaning is that in the hellish state, the hellish state, and the other-state, such as the state of the Asura-Kumaras, and all the states up to the aerial beings, the past accumulations of karma leading to death are infinite.**
**The future accumulations of karma leading to death are present in some beings, but not in others. Those who have them, their least [number of accumulations] is one, two, or three, and their greatest is numerous, innumerable, or infinite.**
**Just as the past and future accumulations of karma leading to death have been described in the twenty-four self-states and other-states of the hellish beings, in the same way, the past, present, and future accumulations of karma leading to death should be understood in the twenty-four Dandakas, from the Asura-Kumaras to the aerial beings, in the self-states and other-states.**
**In this way, in total, there are 1056 Palapas.**
**The accumulation of karma leading to liberation should be understood in the same way as the accumulation of karma leading to bondage. The special point is that the accumulation of karma leading to liberation should not be attributed to a being who does not have the potential for liberation. It should only be attributed to those beings who have the potential for liberation.**
**Therefore, except for the air-bodied beings, the accumulation of karma leading to liberation should not be attributed to the four one-sensed beings, the plant-bodied beings, and the disabled-sensed beings, because they do not have the potential for liberation.**
**Therefore, the accumulation of karma leading to liberation should be attributed to the hellish beings, the Bhavanapatis, the air-bodied beings, the five-sensed animals, the humans, the Vanavyantara beings, the Jyotishkas, and the aerial beings.**
**In this way, it is said here: "These twenty-four Dandakas should be understood in the twenty-four Dandakas."**
**The accumulation of karma leading to liberation should also be understood in the twenty-four Dandakas, in the twenty-four Dandakas.**
**In this way, in total, there are 1056 Palapas.**
