**Jivasamas/141**
Multiplying the extent of twelve yojanas by itself, i.e., squaring the extent of 12 yojanas, the resulting amount (12 x 12 = ) 144 yojanas. Subtracting half of the mouth (4 yo.) which is 2 yo. from it (144 - 2 = ) 142 yo. Adding the square of half the mouth, 2 yo. (2 x 2 = ) 4 yo. to it (142 + 4 = ) 146 yo. Doubling this (146 x 2 = ) 262 yo. Dividing this by four (262 / 4 = ) 73 square yojanas is the area of the conch.
The extent of 12 yo. minus the mouth of 4 yo. (12 - 4 = ) leaves 8. Adding the extent of 12 yo. to this (8 + 12 = ) 20 yo. Dividing this by the mouth of 4 yo. (20 / 4 = ) 5 yo. is the external diameter of the conch.
Multiplying the area of the conch, 73 yo. by the external diameter, 5 (73 x 5 = ) 365 yo. is the volume obtained. 365 x 3623878656 = 1322715701440 is the volume of the conch in terms of ghanaangulas.
The volume of the Gomhi, a ShriIndriyaJiva with excellent Avgahana, situated in the outer part of the Swayamprabhachal, is as follows: The Gomhi has an extent of one yojana, a width of one-eighth of a yojana (1/8) yojana, and a diameter of half the width, 3/8 yojana. Multiplying these three together (1 x 1/8 x 3/8 = ) 3/64 cubic yojanas is the volume obtained. Its volume in terms of ghanaangulas is 143623878656 x 3/64 = 11643636 ghanaangulas.
The Bhramara, a ChaturIndriyaJiva with excellent Avgahana, situated in the outer part of the Swayamprabhachal, has an extent of one yojana, a height of half a yojana, and a circumference of half a yojana, i.e., a diameter of half a yojana. The circumference of half a yojana (1/2) is 3/4 yojana. The diameter of 3/4 yojana multiplied by the height of half a yojana (3/4 x 1/2 = ) 3/8 yojana, multiplied by the extent of one yojana (3/8 x 1 = ) 3/8 yojana is the volume of the Bhramara. Its volume in terms of ghanaangulas is (643623878656 x 3/8 = ) 1358654466 ghanaangulas.
The volume of the Mahamatsya, a PanchendriyaJiva with excellent Avgahana, is described in the commentary of verse 64.
**The measure of the least Avgahana of the DviIndriya and other Jivas and their respective owners**
**"Bitichapupunnajannam anudharikuthukaranam acchim.
Sinchaymacche vivangulasankhe sankhagunivakama."** (Verse 6)
**Meaning:** The least Avgahana among the DviIndriya Jivas is of the Anudhari, among the TriIndriya Jivas is of the Kuthu, among the ChaturIndriya Jivas is of the Kanamaskika, and among the Panchendriya Jivas is of the Sikthamatsya. These are measured in fractions of a ghanaangula, but the number of fractions is in a sequence.
**Explanation:** In the verse, 'vi' refers to the DviIndriya Jivas, 'ti' refers to the TriIndriya Jivas, 'ch' refers to the ChaturIndriya Jivas.
