## Third Multiplicity of Abundance [217 (4)]
The least abundant among the sense-endowed and non-sense-endowed beings are the non-sense-endowed beings with the least number of senses, because the subtle one-sensed beings are very numerous due to their pervasiveness in all realms, but among them, the non-sense-endowed are the least. Compared to them, the sense-endowed are many times more numerous. Similarly, the one-sensed non-sense-endowed are the least, and the sense-endowed are many times more numerous than them. Among the two-sensed beings, the sense-endowed are the least, because they are only as numerous as the parts of a finger, while the two-sensed non-sense-endowed are as numerous as the parts of a finger multiplied by an infinite number. After this, in the three-sensed, four-sensed, and five-sensed beings, the sense-endowed are the least in each, and the non-sense-endowed are infinitely more numerous than them. The reason for this should be understood as before.
[217 (5)] In the aggregate, the least abundant among the sense-endowed and other aggregated sense-endowed and non-sense-endowed beings are the four-sensed sense-endowed, as explained earlier. The five-sensed sense-endowed, the two-sensed sense-endowed, and the three-sensed sense-endowed are progressively more numerous than them. The five-sensed non-sense-endowed, the four-sensed non-sense-endowed, the three-sensed non-sense-endowed, and the two-sensed non-sense-endowed are progressively infinitely more numerous, more numerous, more numerous, and more numerous than them. Further, the one-sensed non-sense-endowed are infinitely more numerous than them, the one-sensed sense-endowed are many times more numerous, the sense-endowed are more numerous, and the sense-endowed beings are even more numerous than them. The reason for their least abundance should be understood as before.
