**Third Multi-Statement Difficulty** [239]
* **Inclusion:** They include countless subtle plant-bodied beings; because there are countless subtle nigodas from the coarse nigodas. Generally, subtle beings are more numerous than coarse beings, because subtle beings like subtle luminous-bodied beings are also included in them.
* **12-13. The relative abundance of coarse-bodied beings and their deficiencies (according to Sutra 248):** The least abundant among the deficient beings is the coarse tremor-bodied deficient being.
* **After that, the coarse luminous-bodied, each-body plant-bodied, coarse nigoda, coarse earth-bodied, coarse water-bodied, coarse air-bodied deficient beings are successively countless times more abundant.** This should be understood like the second deficient-sutra.
* **There are countless subtle luminous-bodied deficient beings from the coarse air-bodied deficient beings, because they are equal to countless regions of the universe.** From them, the subtle earth-bodied, subtle water-bodied, subtle air-bodied, subtle nigoda deficient beings are successively countless times more abundant. This should be understood like the second sutra in the subtle five sutras.
* **There are countless plant-bodied deficient beings from the subtle nigoda deficient beings, because there are countless beings in each coarse nigoda.** Generally, coarse deficient beings are more numerous than subtle deficient beings, because coarse tremor-bodied deficient beings are also included in them.
* **There are countless subtle plant-bodied deficient beings from the coarse nigoda deficient beings, because there are countless subtle nigoda deficient beings from the coarse nigoda deficient beings.** Generally, subtle deficient beings are more numerous than coarse deficient beings, because subtle luminous-bodied deficient beings are also included in them.
* **Abundant beings (according to Sutra 246):** The coarse luminous-bodied abundant beings are the least abundant. After that, the coarse tremor-bodied, coarse each-body plant-bodied, coarse nigoda, coarse earth-bodied, coarse water-bodied, and coarse air-bodied abundant beings are successively countless times more abundant, because the coarse air-bodied beings are as numerous as countless regions of the universe.
* **After that, the subtle earth-bodied, subtle water-bodied, subtle air-bodied abundant beings are successively more numerous.**
* **There are countless subtle nigoda abundant beings from the subtle air-bodied abundant beings, because they are very abundant and exist in every sphere.** There are countless plant-bodied abundant beings from them, because there are countless beings in each coarse nigoda. Generally, subtle abundant beings are more numerous than coarse abundant beings, because subtle luminous-bodied beings and other abundant beings are also included in them.
* **14. The relative abundance of subtle coarse abundant and deficient beings (according to Sutra 250):** The least abundant are the coarse abundant beings, because they are limited in area. There are countless coarse deficient beings from them, because countless coarse deficient beings are born dependent on each coarse abundant being. There are countless subtle deficient beings from them, because their area is countless times larger due to their pervasiveness in all the universes. There are countless subtle abundant beings from them, because they are always countless due to their permanence. Similarly, one should consider the relative abundance of subtle coarse earth-bodied, water-bodied, luminous-bodied, air-bodied, plant-bodied, and nigoda abundant and deficient beings.
* **15. The relative abundance of subtle coarse abundant and deficient beings in totality (according to Sutra 251):** The least abundant are the coarse luminous-bodied beings, because they are as numerous as the amount of time in the mathematical interval-time category from a few short interval-times. There are countless coarse tremor-bodied abundant beings from them, because they are as numerous as the number of parts of an angula in the universe.
