## Chapter 203: Description of the Action of the Knowledge of the Earth, Which Destroys the Attachment to Conduct
**845-1010.** Then, one should determine the **Yavamadhya** (midpoint).
**1011.** Just as there is a **Yavamadhya** for the **Samayaprabaddha** (time-bound) **nirlepanasthanas** (places of application), so too is there a **Yavamadhya** for the **Bhavaprabaddha** (existence-bound) **nirlepanasthanas**.
**1012.** In the infinite past, those **Samayaprabaddha** that were applied to a single **pradesagra** (point of application) are the fewest.
**1013.** Those **Samayaprabaddha** that were applied to two **pradesagras** are more numerous.
**1014.** In this way, there are an infinite number of **nirlepanasthanas** that are increasingly more numerous.
**1015.** The **Yavamadhya** is reached when the **palyopamas** (units of measurement) of these **nirlepanasthanas** are divided into an infinite number of parts.
**1016.** Then, one should consider the **ganantara** (interval).
**1017.** The **ganantara** is infinitely multiplied.
**1018.** One should conclude that the **Samayaprabaddha** **nirlepanasthanas** that are the least numerous, which are located above the **nirlepanasthanas** of the **jghanya** (lowest) **nirlepanasthanas**, are located at the **antarmuhurtamana** (intermediate moment) positions, while the **Bhavaprabaddha** **nirlepanasthanas** that are the least numerous are located at the **jghanya** **nirlepanasthanas**.
**Churnisutra:** After this, one should determine the **Yavamadhya** form. At the time when the **Samayaprabaddha** **nirlepanasthanas** reach the **Yavamadhya**, the **Bhavaprabaddha** **nirlepanasthanas** also reach the **Yavamadhya**. (1010-1011)
**Vishesharth:** This **Yavamadhya** form should be understood in this way: By taking the **Samayaprabaddha** and **Bhavaprabaddha** **shalakaas** (rods) that were applied in the past, from the **jghanya** **nirlepanasthanas** to the **utkrista** (highest) **nirlepanasthanas**, this **Yavamadhya** form is determined. Its explanation is this: The **Samayaprabaddha** and **Bhavaprabaddha** that were applied earlier to the **jghanya** **nirlepanasthanas** are the fewest. Those applied to the **samayoत्तर** (next time) **nirlepanasthanas** are more numerous. Those applied to the **dvisamayoत्तर** (two times next) **nirlepanasthanas** are even more numerous. In this way, as the number of **Samayaprabaddha** and **Bhavaprabaddha** increases continuously with each passing time, the **palyopamas** are doubled when they reach an infinite number of parts. When these **palyopamas** reach an infinite number of parts, the **Yavamadhya** is reached. After this, one should determine the form in the same way, with the number of **Samayaprabaddha** and **Bhavaprabaddha** decreasing continuously until the **utkrista** **nirlepanasthanas** are reached. Here, one should understand that the number of **Samayaprabaddha** and **Bhavaprabaddha** that were applied earlier to all the **nirlepanasthanas** is infinite, because it is natural for them to be infinite in comparison to the infinite past.
**Churnisutra:** In the infinite past, those **Samayaprabaddha** that were applied to a single **pradesagra** are the fewest. Those **Samayaprabaddha** that were applied to two **pradesagras** are more numerous. In this way, there are an infinite number of **nirlepanasthanas** that are increasingly more numerous, in comparison to the infinite series of **anantaropa nidharupa** (infinitely increasing). The **Yavamadhya** is reached when the **palyopamas** of these **Samayaprabaddha** **nirlepanasthanas** are divided into an infinite number of parts. The **shalakaas** of the **naanaantara** (various intervals), which are below and above the **Yavamadhya**, are few. The **shalakaas** of the **ekaantara** (single interval), which are the **ekagunahaani** (single-fold decrease) **nirlepanasthanas**, are infinitely multiplied. Because, to determine the interval, that is, to determine the interval of each **ekagunahaani** **nirlepanasthanas**, the number of **naanaagunahaani** (various-fold decrease) **shalakaas** is an infinite number of parts of the **palyopamas**.
