Even after subtracting the number of humans who are sufficient in terms of the number of humans from the J. श्रे. (J. श्रे. is a Jain term referring to a specific category of beings) divided by the first and third square roots of the index finger, the number of insufficient humans is still countless. Therefore, the number of insufficient humans is countless in comparison to the number of sufficient humans. Here, we should consider the humans who are potentially sufficient, not the eternally sufficient ones. In terms of time, the number of potentially sufficient humans is countless, being taken away by countless numbers of Avapinis and Utsapinis (Avapinis and Utsapinis are Jain terms referring to specific types of beings). In terms of space, the number of potentially sufficient humans is equal to the countless parts of the J. श्रे. The diameter of the countless parts of the J. श्रे. is countless crores of yojanas (yojana is a unit of distance).
The first square root of the index finger is placed in a garland-like form with the third square root, and the Jagachchreni (Jagachchreni is a Jain term referring to a specific category of beings) is taken away by the potentially sufficient humans who are more than the form.
Shaha - The diameter of the countless parts of the J. श्रे. is countless crores of yojanas. Why is the countless part of the श्रेणी ( श्रेणी is a Jain term referring to a specific category of beings) called श्रेणी here?
Solution - The countless part of the J. श्रे. is also called श्रेणी because the tendency of the name of the component is seen in the component. For example, if a part of a village is burnt, it is said that the village has burnt down. Or, we should make this kind of connection that the diameter of the countless part of the श्रेणी is countless crores of yojanas. In all three places, "Apjattaehi Rubpakkhittaehi Ruva Pakkhittaehi Ruvam Pakkhittaehi", we should project the number of humans who are potentially sufficient in any mind. Again, after subtracting the number of potentially sufficient humans from the obtained number, we get the number of potentially insufficient humans. By multiplying the first square root of the index finger by the third square root and dividing the J. श्रे. by the obtained quotient, we get the number of ordinary humans by subtracting one from the quotient. And by subtracting the number of sufficient humans from this, we get the number of potentially sufficient humans.
Alpabahutva (Alpabahutva is a Jain term referring to the relative scarcity of beings)
Ayogakevali (Ayogakevali is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) humans are the most scarce. They are outnumbered by the four (4-6-10-11) Gunasthanavarti (Gunasthanavarti is a Jain term referring to a specific category of beings) Upshamaka (Upshamaka is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being). The four (8-6-10-12) Gunasthanavarti Kshapaka (Kshapaka is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) are outnumbered by the Upshamaka. Sayogakevali (Sayogakevali is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) are outnumbered by the four Kshapaka. Apramattasanyata (Apramattasanyata is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) humans are outnumbered by the Sayogakevali. Pramattasanyata (Pramattasanyata is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) humans are outnumbered by the Apramattasanyata. Sanyatasanyata (Sanyatasanyata is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) humans are outnumbered by the Pramattasanyata. Sasadan Samyagdristi (Sasadan Samyagdristi is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) humans are outnumbered by the Sanyatasanyata. Samyagmithyashti (Samyagmithyashti is a Jain term referring to a specific type of being) humans are outnumbered by the Sasadan Samyagdristi. Asanyata
