**Chapter 17, Section 2: The Second Object**
[279] Among the goddesses, there are very few with Krishna-leshya. Compared to them, the goddesses with Tejo-leshya are far more numerous, because Tejo-leshya is found in all the Jyotishka goddesses and in the Saudharma and Aishana goddesses. One thing to note is that goddesses are only born up to the Saudharma and Aishana kalpas, not beyond. Therefore, only four leshyas are possible in them, corresponding to these kalpas. This is why their scarcity is mentioned only up to Tejo-leshya.
(3) The number of goddesses is greater than the number of gods - This is a theoretical fact that the number of goddesses is 32 times greater than the number of gods, and 32 more. This is why the goddesses are far more numerous, or even exceptionally numerous, compared to the gods with Kapota, Neel, Krishna, and Tejo-leshya.
The scarcity of Tejo-leshya Jyotishka gods and goddesses - Only one scarcity formula is mentioned here in relation to Jyotishka gods, because only Tejo-leshya exists in the Jyotishka group, no other leshya. This is why separate scarcity formulas for Jyotishka gods and goddesses are not specified.
The consideration of Riddhi-scarcity in ordinary beings and the 24 Dandakas with leshya.
1161. "Bhagavan! Among these beings, from those with Krishna-leshya to those with Shukla-leshya, who are less wealthy or more wealthy in terms of Riddhi?"
"Gautama! Those with Neel-leshya are more wealthy than those with Krishna-leshya, those with Kapota-leshya are more wealthy than those with Neel-leshya, those with Tejo-leshya are more wealthy than those with Kapota-leshya, those with Padma-leshya are more wealthy than those with Tejo-leshya, and those with Shukla-leshya are more wealthy than those with Padma-leshya. Beings with Krishna-leshya are the least wealthy, and beings with Shukla-leshya are the most wealthy."
1192. "Bhagavan! Among these Narakas with Krishna-leshya, Neel-leshya, and Kapota-leshya, who are less wealthy or more wealthy in terms of Riddhi?"
"Gautama! Those with Neel-leshya are more wealthy than those with Krishna-leshya, those with Kapota-leshya are more wealthy than those with Neel-leshya. Narakas with Krishna-leshya are the least wealthy, and Narakas with Kapota-leshya are the most wealthy."
