## Verse 76
**Section: Determining the Relative Magnitude of the Four Locations in Relation to the Region**
**(22)** The final category of the vine-like state is infinitely less than the initial category of the vine-like state in terms of regions, according to the rule. (75)
**(23)** The vine-like state is infinitely less than the wood-like state in terms of regions, according to the rule. Similarly, the wood-like state is infinitely less than the bone-like state, and the bone-like state is infinitely less than the rock-like state, according to the rule. (76)
**Explanation:**
This verse explains the relative magnitude of the four locations within each of the sixteen states. It states that the final category of the vine-like state is infinitely less than the initial category of the vine-like state in terms of regions. This is because the final category of the vine-like state is the smallest possible region, while the initial category of the vine-like state is the largest possible region.
Similarly, the vine-like state is infinitely less than the wood-like state in terms of regions. This is because the wood-like state has a larger region than the vine-like state. The same logic applies to the bone-like state and the rock-like state.
**Note:** This verse is referring to the relative magnitude of the four locations within each of the sixteen states, not the relative magnitude of the sixteen states themselves.
