## Kasaya Pahud Sutta (English Translation)
**[7 Uses, Authoritative Meaning]**
**301.** Just as in one place, there are as many living beings as there are atoms, so too are there countless such places. Among these countless places, there is the Yavam Madhya. **302.** Then, another place is found with one less living being. **303.** Thus, there are countless places with an equal number of living beings. **304.** In this way, the distribution of living beings in the remaining places should be understood.
**305.** In the lowest Kasaya Udaya Thana, there are four living beings, and in the highest Kasaya Udaya Thana, there are two living beings. **306.** The Yavam Madhya living beings are equal to an immeasurable portion of the Avaliya. **307.** The number of Ardhachhedanas of the Yavam Madhya living beings is equal to an immeasurable portion of the Yavam Madhya. There are also an immeasurable number of Guna Hani Thana Antaras below the Yavam Madhya. And there are an immeasurable number of Guna Hani Thana Antaras above the Yavam Madhya. **308.** Thus, the Yavam Madhya is established for the three types of living beings.
**594**
**Churni Su 0 -** Just as there are as many living beings in one Kasaya Udaya Thana as there are atoms, so too are there as many living beings in other places. This sequence continues for countless places, until we reach the Yavam Madhya. Then, another place is found with one less living being. Thus, there are countless places with an equal number of living beings. In this way, the distribution of living beings in the remaining places should be understood. **301-304**
Now, to explain this specific meaning, we will use the Churni Sutra. **Churni 0 -** In the lowest Kasaya Udaya Thana, there are four living beings, and in the highest Kasaya Udaya Thana, there are two living beings. **305**
**Meaning -** Although there are actually an immeasurable portion of the Avaliya living beings in both the lowest and highest Kasaya Udaya Thanas, here, for the sake of understanding, we have used the numbers four and two.
**Churni Su 0 -** The Yavam Madhya living beings are equal to an immeasurable portion of the Avaliya. The number of Ardhachhedanas of the Yavam Madhya living beings is equal to an immeasurable portion of the Yavam Madhya. There are also an immeasurable number of Guna Hani Thana Antaras below the Yavam Madhya. And there are an immeasurable number of Guna Hani Thana Antaras above the Yavam Madhya. Thus, the Yavam Madhya is established for the three types of living beings. **306-308**
**1.** Even though there are an immeasurable portion of the Avaliya living beings in the lowest Kasaya Udaya Thana, we should consider them as four in number. Similarly, in the highest Kasaya Udaya Thana, we should consider them as two in number.
