## Third Multi-Statement Difficulty [221 Discussion - Fourth Body Gate: In relation to the body, the scarcity of Sakayika, Prakayika and Shatkayika beings is presented in five sutras (Su. 232 to 236). In relation to the body, the scarcity of Shatkayika, Sakayika, and Akayika beings in their collective form, their inadequacies and adequacies, and individually and collectively, the scarcity of adequate and inadequate beings is established. (1) Scarcity of Shatkayika, Sakayika, Prakayika beings - The fewest are Triskayika, because Triskayika include beings from two-sense to five-sense, they are fewer than other bodies (earth body etc.). They are outnumbered by Tejaskaika by an immeasurable amount, because they are immeasurable in the number of Lokakasha-Pradesh-Praman. They are outnumbered by Prithvikaika by a special amount, because they are abundant and immeasurable in the number of Lokakasha-Pradesh-Praman. They are outnumbered by Apkayika by a special amount, because they are more abundant and immeasurable in the number of Lokakasha-Pradesh-Praman. They are outnumbered by Vayukaika by a special amount, because they are most abundant and immeasurable in the number of Lokakasha-Pradesh-Praman. Compared to them, Akayika (Siddh Bhagavan) are infinite times more, because Siddha beings are infinite. They are outnumbered by Vanaspatikaika by an infinite amount, because they are infinite in the number of Lokakasha-Pradesh-Rashi-Praman. They are also outnumbered by Sakayika by a special amount, because they include all beings with bodies, including earth body etc. (2) Scarcity of Sakayika etc. inadequacies - Among them, the fewest are Triskayika inadequacies, and from there, they are outnumbered by Sakayika inadequacies in a special amount. The explanation of scarcity up to this point should be understood as before. (3) Scarcity of Sakayika etc. adequacies - Their scarcity should also be understood by the same logic as before. (4) Scarcity of Sakayika etc. individual adequacies and inadequacies - The fewest are Sakayika inadequacies. They are outnumbered by Sakayika adequacies by a countable amount. Similarly, all the following seven chapters are easy. In all of these, inadequacies are the fewest, and compared to them, adequacies are countable times more. The reason for this is that inadequacies are produced by the support of adequacies. That is, adequacies are the foundation of inadequacies. (5) Scarcity of Sakayika etc. collective adequacies and inadequacies - Among them, the fewest are Triskayika adequacies. They are outnumbered by Triskayika inadequacies by an immeasurable amount, because inadequate two-sense etc. are immeasurable times more than adequate two-sense etc. They are outnumbered by Tejaskaika inadequacies by an immeasurable amount, because they are immeasurable in the number of Lokakasha-Pradesh-Praman. They are outnumbered by Prithvikaika, Apkayika and Vayukaika inadequacies in a special amount respectively. Due to the abundance of Prithvikaika inadequacies, they are more than Tejaskaika inadequacies. They are outnumbered by Apkayika inadequacies by a lot, so they are in a special amount. They are outnumbered by Vayukaika inadequacies by the aforementioned logic in a special amount. They are outnumbered by Prithvikaika, Apkayika and Vayukaika adequacies in a special amount respectively, because adequacies are in a special amount compared to inadequacies. Previously, Vanaspatikaika inadequacies are infinite times more than adequacies, and Sakayika adequacies are countable times more than them. The reason for this has been explained before. Although this sutra (Su. 236) has 15 points of scarcity, which are mentioned in other copies, the Vrittikar has only mentioned 12 points in the Prajnapanavritti. Therefore, 1. Prajnapana. Malaya.
