[238]. [The Prajñāpanā Sūtra are countless, as vast as the space of countless worlds. Each body is countless times more numerous than the Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika, because the Bādar Tejas Kāyika are only found in the human realm, while the realm of each body is countless times greater than that of the Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika. The second section of the Prajñāpanā Sūtra states that in the proper place, there are 7 Ghanoḍadhi, 7 Ghanoḍadhivalaya, and similarly in the lower, upper, and oblique realms, wherever there are reservoirs, there are places for the Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika. Where there are places for the Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika, there are also places for their non-sufficient counterparts. Therefore, since the realm is countless times greater, they are also countless times more numerous. The Bādar Nigoda are countless times more numerous than them, because they are extremely subtle and are found everywhere in water in the form of algae, etc. The Bādar Pṛthvīkāyika are countless times more numerous than them, because they exist in all eight earths, as well as in the planes, buildings, and mountains, etc. The Bādar Apkāyika are infinitely more numerous than them, because there is an abundance of water in the oceans. The Bādar Vāyukāyika are countless times more numerous than them, because air is present in all porous places. The Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika are infinitely more numerous than them, because there are infinite beings in the Bādar Nigoda. The Bādar Jīva are more numerous than them, because they include all beings, from the Bādar Dwīndriya, etc. 7-8. The Bādar Aparyāptakas and Paryāptakas are few in number - the order of the Bādar Jīva's Aparyāptakas and Paryāptakas is also similar to the previous Sūtra (Sū. 242). The Bādar Paryāptakas are only different in the beginning - there, the Bādar Tejas Kāyika Paryāptakas are the least numerous, instead of the Bādar Tras Kāyika Aparyāptakas. The rest is the same as before. The explanation of their scarcity should also be understood as before. 6. The Bādar Paryāptakas and Aparyāptakas are few in number - countless Bādar Aparyāptakas are born dependent on each Bādar Paryāptakas in the Bādar Jīva. By this rule, the Aparyāptakas are countless times more numerous than the Paryāptakas in the Bādar Jīva, Bādar Pṛthvīkāyika, etc. 10. The Bādar, Bādar Pṛthvīkāyika, etc. Paryāptakas and Aparyāptakas are few in number - the Bādar Tejas Kāyika Paryāptakas are the least numerous, the Bādar Sakāyika Paryāptakas are countless times more numerous than them, the Bādar Tras Kāyika Aparyāptakas, the Bādar Pratiyaka Vanaṣpatīkāyika Paryāptakas, the Bādar Nigoda Paryāptakas, the Bādar Pṛthvīkāyika Paryāptakas, the Bādar Apkāyika Paryāptakas, and the Bādar Vāyukāyika Paryāptakas are successively countless times more numerous. Their scarcity should be understood from the above mentioned reasons. The Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika Paryāptakas are infinitely more numerous than them, because they are infinite in each Bādar Nigoda. The collective Bādar Paryāptakas are more numerous than them, because they include all of them, from the Bādar Tejas Kāyika, etc. The Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika Aparyāptakas are countless times more numerous than the Bādar Paryāptakas, and the Bādar Aparyāptakas and Bādar are successively more numerous than them, the reason for this should be understood as before. 11. The scarcity of the subtle Bādar in the collective - (according to Sū. 247) the Bādar Tras Kāyika are the least numerous, followed by the Bādar Vāyukāyika, the scarcity of the Bādar Raga Vikalpas should be understood as before. Thereafter, the scarcity of the subtle Vikalpas up to the subtle Nigoda should also be known as before. After that, the Bādar Vanaṣpatīkāyika are infinitely more numerous, because there are infinite beings in each Bādar Nigoda. The Bādar Aparyāptakas are more numerous than them, because they also include the Bādar Tejas Kāyika, etc.
