## Verse 153-154
**Gati Marg Rag/215**
**Doubt:** How is this possible?
**Solution:** The square root of the *suchyangula* multiplied by the square root of the *suchyangula* is equal to the square root of the *suchyangula* multiplied by the *suchyangula*. In other words, the square root of " *suchyangula* - *muchyangula* x *suchyangula*". Thus, multiplying the *suchyangula* by itself three times gives the *dhanangula*. The *dhanangula* is the cube of the *suchyangula*. Therefore, it is called the square root of the *dhanangula*. Thus, the value in both the *parshagranthas* is the same, there is no difference.
**Doubt:** In the commentary of *D.Pu.* 7, page 246, sutra 13, it is stated that "by multiplying the first square root of the *jagachhreni* with its twelfth, tenth, eighth, sixth, third, and second square roots, the number of hell beings in the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh earths respectively is obtained." But in the above verse, it is stated that by dividing the *jagachhreni* by its twelfth, tenth, eighth, sixth, third, and second square roots, the number of hell beings in the second and subsequent six hells is obtained. Why is there a contradiction between these two *agamas*?
**Solution:** There is no contradiction between these two *agamas* because the number of hell beings in both *agamas* is the same.
**Doubt:** In the *Dhavala* text, the number is obtained by multiplying the square roots, and in the above verse, the number is obtained by dividing. Multiplication increases the number, and division decreases the number. Therefore, there must be a difference in the number of hell beings in the second and subsequent earths in these two *agamas*?
**Solution:** No, because the value obtained by dividing a large number can also be obtained by multiplying smaller numbers. For example, the number of hell beings in the seventh earth, which is obtained by multiplying the first square root of the *jagachhreni* by its second square root, is the same as the number obtained by dividing the *jagachhreni* by its second square root.
**Doubt:** How is this possible?
**Solution:** It is possible because dividing the *jagachhreni* by its second square root gives the product of its first square root and its second square root. Multiplying the first square root of the *jagachhreni* by its second square root gives the product of its first square root and its second square root. Let's assume that the *jagachhreni* is 'j'. According to algebra, the first square root of 'j' is √j and the second square root is j. Multiplying these together gives j, because the power is added during multiplication (2+1=3). If 'j' is divided by the second square root j, then j is obtained, because the power is subtracted during division (1-2=-1). In numerical terms, the *jagachhreni* is 256. The first square root of 256 is 16 and the second square root is 4. Multiplying these together (16x4) gives 64. Dividing the *jagachhreni* '256' by its second square root 4 (256/4) gives 64. Similarly, the number of hell beings in other earths should be known.
