[382] [In the Prajñāpanā Sūtra, in terms of the two types of Pradesh, in terms of the two types of Progāhana, in terms of the four types of Thita, in terms of the six types of Varna, etc., and in terms of the three types of Abhinibodhik-jñāna, Śruta-jñāna, and Avadhi-jñāna, and the three types of Ajnāna, and the three types of Darsana, there are six types of Patita. [464-1 Pr.] Bhagavan! How many Paryaya are there for the Asura-kumāras who have the lowest Avagāhana? [464-1 U.] Gautama! They have infinite Paryaya. [Pr.] Bhagavan! Why is it said that the Asura-kumāras who have the lowest Avagāhana have infinite Paryaya? [U.] Gautama! An Asura-kumāra who has the lowest Avagāhana is equal to another Asura-kumāra who has the lowest Avagāhana in terms of Dravya, in terms of Pradesh, and in terms of Progāhana; (but) in terms of Thita, he is a Chatuḥsthāna-patita (inferior); in terms of Varna, etc., he is a Shatsthāna-patita; in terms of the Paryaya of Abhinibodhik-jñāna, Śruta-jñāna, and Avadhi-jñāna, the three types of Ajnāna, and the three types of Darsana, he is a Shatsthāna-patita. [2] And in the case of the Utkrushta Avagāhana, it is the same. And in the case of the Madhyama (neither lowest nor highest) Avagāhana, it is the same. In particular, the Asura-kumāras who have the Utkrushta Avagāhana are also Chatuḥsthāna-patita (inferior) in terms of Thita. [464-2] In the same way, one should understand (the Paryaya of) the Asura-kumāras who have the Utkrushta Avagāhana. And in the same way, one should understand (the Paryaya of) the Asura-kumāras who have the Madhyama (neither lowest nor highest) Avagāhana. It is noteworthy that the Asura-kumāras who have the Utkrushta Avagāhana are also Chatuḥsthāna-patita (inferior) in terms of Thita. 465. And in the same way, up to the Stanita-kumāras. [465] In the same way as the Asura-kumāras (one should understand the Paryaya of) the Stanita-kumāras. Discussion - In these two Sūtras (Sū. 464-465), which deal with the Paryaya of the Bhavanavāsīs who have the lowest, highest, and middle Avagāhana, a logical explanation is given for the infinite Paryaya of the ten types of Bhavanapatis, from the Asura-kumāras to the Stanita-kumāras. [466. [1] Bhagavan! How many Paryaya are there for the Pṛthvīkāyās who have the lowest Avagāhana? Gautama! They have infinite Paryaya. Why is it said, Bhagavan, that the Pṛthvīkāyās who have the lowest Avagāhana have infinite Paryaya? Gautama! A Pṛthvīkāya who has the lowest Avagāhana is equal to another Pṛthvīkāya who has the lowest Avagāhana in terms of Dravya, in terms of Pradesh, and in terms of Progāhana; in terms of Thita, he is a Tṛsthāna-patita; in terms of Varna, Gandha, Rasa, and Sparśa, and the two types of Ajnāna, and the Prachakṣhu-darśana, he is a Shatsthāna-patita.
