## Fourth Positional Stage ] [301 When the Antarmukhurta is reduced, the inferior position of the sufficient state is Antarmukhurta less ten thousand years, and the superior position is Antarmukhurta less one Sagaropama. This should be understood in the same way everywhere. The superior position of the previous-previous, the inferior of the next-next, the superior position of the first-first Narakaprithvi, is the inferior position of the next-next Narakaprithvi. For example, the superior position of the first Ratnaprabhapṛthvi is one Sagaropama, and the inferior position of the second Sharkaraprabhapṛthvi. 343. [1] Devāṇam bhanta!
