## 258] [Prajñāpanasūtra [274 pr.] Bhagavan! Among these charam and acharam jivas, which are less, more, equal or superior? [274 u.] Gautama! Acharam jivas are the fewest, (from them) charam jivas are infinite times more. / Twenty-second (charam) door / / 22 // Discussion-The twenty-second charam door explains the relative abundance of charam and acharam jivas - the explanation of charam and acharam. Those jivas whose charam-final existence (birth-death) is possible in this world are called charam, or those jivas who are worthy of charam existence (definitely moksha) by virtue are also called charam. Acharam (those without charam existence) are abhavyas or those who no longer have charam existence (remaining) are called acharam-siddhas. The relative abundance of charam and acharam - the fewest are acharam jivas, because both types of acharam, abhavyas and siddhas, combined are also infinite in number; while both types of charam (charam-bodied and bhavyajivas) are infinite times more than them, because they are infinite times more than the infinite number of abhavyas and siddhas. ' Twenty-third jiva door: The relative abundance of jivas, etc. 275. Etesi nam bhanta!

Among these jivas, pudgalas, addha-samayas, sarvadravyas, sarvapradeshas and sarvaparyayas, which are less, more, equal or superior? [275 u.] Gautama! 1. The fewest are jivas, 2. (from them) pudgalas are infinite times more, 3. (from them) addha-samayas are infinite times more, 4. (from them) sarvadravyas are superior, 5. (from them) sarvapradeshas are infinite times more (and from them also) 6. sarvaparyayas are infinite times more / Twenty-third (jiva) door // 23 // Discussion-The twenty-third jiva door - This sutra (275) describes the relative abundance of jivas, pudgalas, time, sarvadravyas, sarvapradeshas and sarvaparyayas. / The justification for the relative abundance of jivas, etc. - The fewest are jivas, from them pudgalas are infinite times more and from them time (praddhasamaya) is also infinite times more, this should be considered in relation to the previously mentioned logic. Sarvadravyas are superior to praddhasamayas, because each praddhasamaya is a dravya, which is infinite times more than pudgalas, therefore they are also included in the description of dravya / Also, infinite jivas, dravyas, all pudgala dravyas, dharma, adharma and akasha-stikaya, all these are included in dravya, all these combined are still an infinite fraction of praddhasamayas, so even after adding them, sarvadravyas are superior to praddhasamayas. Sarvapradeshas are infinite times more than them, because akasha is infinite. 1. Prajñāpanasūtra, Malaya. Vritti, Patraank 143
