(There are) infinite permutations. [Pr] Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite permutations of pudgalas in the jahannaguna-kala? [U] Gautama! One pudgala in the jahannaguna-kala is equal to another pudgala in the jahannaguna-kala in terms of dravya, it is shatthanapatit in terms of pradesha, it is chaturthanapatit in terms of avagahana, it is chaturthanapatit in terms of state, it is equal in terms of the permutations of the krishnavarna, and it is shatthanapatit in terms of the permutations of the remaining varna, gandha, rasa, and sparsa. O Gautama! For this reason, it is said that there are infinite permutations of pudgalas in the jahannaguna-kala. [557-1 Pr] Bhagavan!

[558] Just as the statement regarding the permutations of the krishnavarna has been said, the statement regarding the permutations of the remaining varna, gandha, rasa, and sparsa should be said in the same way, until it is said that the pudgala in the state of ajghannya-anutkrusht (madhyama) guna is shatthanapatit in its own state.
