[398] **Prajñāpanasūtra** Description of the permutations of humans with inferior, superior, and intermediate avagahana. 486. [1] "Bhagavan! How many permutations are there for humans with inferior avagahana?" "Gautama! There are infinite permutations." "Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite permutations for humans with inferior avagahana?" "Gautama! A human with inferior avagahana is equal to another human with inferior avagahana in terms of dravya, in terms of pradesa, and in terms of avagahana. However, they are tri-sthāna-patita in terms of sthiti, and they are ṣaṭ-sthāna-patita in terms of the permutations of varṇa, gandha, rasa, and sparsa, and in terms of the three jñāna, the two ajñāna, and the three darśana." [486-1] "Bhagavan! How many permutations are there for humans with superior avagahana?" "Gautama! There are infinite permutations." "Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite permutations for humans with superior avagahana?" "Gautama! A human with superior avagahana is equal to another human with superior avagahana in terms of dravya, in terms of pradesa, and in terms of avagahana. However, they are tri-sthāna-patita in terms of sthiti, and they are ṣaṭ-sthāna-patita in terms of the permutations of varṇa, gandha, rasa, and sparsa, and in terms of the three jñāna, the two ajñāna, and the three darśana." [2] "The same can be said for humans with superior avagahana. However, in terms of sthiti, they are sometimes inferior, sometimes equal, and sometimes superior. If they are inferior, they are inferior by an immeasurable amount. If they are superior, they are superior by an immeasurable amount. They have two jñāna, two ajñāna, and two darśana." [486-2] "The same can be said for humans with intermediate avagahana. However, they are catur-sthāna-patita in terms of avagahana, catur-sthāna-patita in terms of sthiti, ṣaṭ-sthāna-patita in terms of the four initial jñāna, equal in terms of the permutations of kevala-jñāna, ṣaṭ-sthāna-patita in terms of the three ajñāna and the three darśana, and equal in terms of the permutations of kevala-darśana."
