[Third Multi-Statement Difficulty] [285 Because these two Prataras touch infinite Pudgala-dravya and infinite Jiva-dravya. In comparison to these two Prataras, there are some more dravyas in the Prataras called Adholoka-tiryagloka / In comparison to them, there are innumerable times more dravyas in the Urddhvaloka, because that region is innumerable times vast / In comparison to them, there are infinite times more dravyas in the Adholoka, because in the Adholoka villages there is time, which is related to the synonyms of various atoms, Sankhyatpradeshi, Asankhyatpradeshi, Anantpradeshi dravya, kshetra, kala, bhava, due to which each atom etc. dravya is of infinite types / In comparison to the Adholoka, there are Sankhyatguna dravyas in the Tiryagloka, because the Adholoka villages are found in the Sankhyat in the Manushyaloka, which is the basis of the Khandakala-dravya. In comparison to the directions, in general, the dravyas are less or more - in general, the least dravyas are in the Adhodisha, in comparison to them, there are infinite times more in the Urddhvadisha, because in the Urddhvaloka there is a five hundred yojana long crystal-like stem of Mount Meru, in which there is the light of the moon and the sun, and due to the participation of the dravyas in the moment etc. time, and due to the aforementioned policy, due to the time being infinite with each atom etc. dravyas, it is proved that the dravya is infinite times. In comparison to the Urddhvadisha, there are innumerable times more dravyas in the Uttarapurva-Isanakoon and Dakshinapaschim-Nairityakoon, because the regions there are innumerable times, but there are equal dravyas in both these directions, because the region of both is equal. In comparison to these two, there are more special dravyas in the Dakshinapurva-Agneyacoon and Uttarapaschim-Vayavyacoon, because in these directions, there are many smooth Pudgaladravya like fog, dew etc. dependent on the peaks of the mountains like Vidhyutprabha and Malya. In comparison to these, there are innumerable times more regions in the east direction, so the dravyas are also innumerable times more.

The less or more of Pudgalas due to the predominance of the region - The Pudgalas (in relation to dravya) are the least in one pradesh (located in one pradesh of the sky) / Here, the consideration has been done from the predominance of the region / Therefore, whatever atoms, Sankhyatpradeshi, Asankhyatpradeshi and Anantpradeshi skandha are located in one pradesh of the sky, all of them are counted in one amount and called 'Ekpradeshavagaadh'. From this point of view, the Sankhyatpradeshavagaadh Pudgalas are Sankhyatguna in relation to the dravya of the aforementioned / It should be kept in mind here that in two pradeshes of the sky, there is also Dwayanuk, Vyanyuk and Asankhyatpradeshi or Anantpradeshi skandha, but in relation to the region, all of them have the same amount / Similarly, in three pradeshes, from Jyanyuk to Anantaanuk skandha are there, their amount should also be understood.
