[From Prajnapana 2144-1] Gautama! The Asura Kumaras who are associated with the least amount of anger-arousal are the fewest in number, those associated with mind-arousal are many times more numerous, those associated with illusion-arousal are many times more numerous than those associated with mind-arousal, and those associated with greed-arousal are many times more numerous than those associated with illusion-arousal, and those who are not associated with any of these are many times more numerous than all of them. [2] And so it is with the Vaimanikas. [2144-2] In the same way, one should explain the relative scarcity and abundance of anger-arousal and other such arousal among all the Devas, up to the Vaimanikas. 2145. [1] The question of the Earth-dwellers. Gotama! In all cases, the Earth-dwellers who are associated with mind-arousal are the fewest in number, those associated with anger-arousal are more numerous, those associated with illusion-arousal are more numerous than those associated with anger-arousal, and those associated with greed-arousal are more numerous than those associated with illusion-arousal, and those who are not associated with any of these are many times more numerous. [2145-1 Pra] Bhagavan! Among the Earth-dwellers, who are more numerous, fewer, equal, or special, in relation to those associated with anger-arousal and those who are not associated with it?

[2145-2] In the same way, one should understand the relative scarcity and abundance of these up to the five-sense beings and the Tiryanchas. 2146. Humans are like all other beings (Su. 2142) / There are countless times more humans who are associated with mind-arousal.

Then, in the twenty-four danda-kas, the past and future of the four types of arousal, anger, etc., in relation to oneness and multiplicity, have been described. From the Naraka to the Vaimanika, each has an infinite past of anger-arousal, etc., and each has a future of anger-arousal, etc., which some have and some do not. Those who are in the last stage of the Naraka, etc., and who are naturally slow-kṣayī, will die without experiencing kṣaya-arousal, and will be reborn in the human realm after leaving the Naraka, and will become a Siddha without experiencing kṣaya-arousal.
