200] [From the Prajñāpanā, while in the Ūrvaloca the order is reversed, there the number of the highest Anuttara Vimānavasī Devas is the least, then the number of the lower Devas increases progressively, with the number of Saudharma Devas being the highest / But below the Manushya Loca are the Bhavanapati Devas, their number is greater than the Saudharma, even though they are higher, the number of Vyantara and Jyotishka Devas increases progressively. The least number is of humans, for this reason, human birth is considered rare / As the senses decrease, the number of beings increases, that is, the number of undeveloped beings is greater than that of developed beings. The number of Siddha (perfected) beings is less than that of Ekaindriya beings. In the lowest seventh Naraka and the highest Anuttara Devaloka, there are the fewest beings, from this it is clear, just as there are few extremely virtuous, so there are few extremely sinful.] 1.
