There are countless **Gurge** (types of beings). Countless beings are **Gunakar** (multipliers). **Badar-Ekendriya** (two-sensed) beings are **Vishesh-Adhik** (significantly more) than the number of **Badar-Ekendriya-Apariapt** (two-sensed insufficient) beings. The number of **Badar-Ekendriya-Paryapt** (two-sensed sufficient) beings is **Nish-Adhik** (infinitely more) than the number of **Badar-Ekendriya-Apariapt** beings. **Sanniya-Gapat** (three-sensed) beings are **Asankhyat Gunan** (countless times) more than the number of **Badar-Ekendriya** beings. Countless beings are **Gunakar**. **Ekendriya Apariapt** (one-sensed insufficient) beings are **Vishesh-Adhik** than the number of **Sookshm Ekendriya Apariapt** (subtle one-sensed insufficient) beings. The number of **Badar Ekendriya Apariapt** beings is **Tanmatra Vishesh-Adhik** (only significantly more) than the number of **Sookshm Ekendriya Apariapt** beings. **Sookshm-Ekendriya-Paryapt** (subtle one-sensed sufficient) beings are **Sankhyat Guran** (countless times) more than the number of **Ekendriya-Apariapt** beings. The **Gunakar** is **Sankhyat Samay** (countless times). **Ekendriya-Apariapt** beings are **Vishesh Adhik** than the number of **Sookshm-Ekendriya Paryapt** beings. The number of **Badar-Ekendriya-Paryapt** beings is **Vishesh Adhik** than the number of **Sookshm-Ekendriya Paryapt** beings. **Sookshm-Ekendriya** (subtle one-sensed) beings are **Vishesh Adhik** than the number of **Ekendriya Paryapt** (one-sensed sufficient) beings. The number of **Sookshm-Ekendriya-Paryapt** beings without the number of **Badar-Ekendriya-Paryapt** beings is **Tanmatra Vishesh Adhik**. **Ekendriya** (one-sensed) beings are **Vishesh Adhik** than the number of **Sookshm Ekendriya** beings. The number of **Badar-Ekendriya** beings is **Vishesh Adhik** than the number of **Sookshm Ekendriya** beings.
**Ank Sandrishti** (Numerical Observation):
* **Ekendriya Jiv Rashai** (Number of one-sensed beings): 256
* **Sookshm-Ekendriya-Jiv Rashai** (Number of subtle one-sensed beings): 240
* **Badar Ekendriya-Jiv Rashai** (Number of two-sensed beings): 16
* **Sookshm-Ekendriya-Paryapt-Jiv Rashai** (Number of subtle one-sensed sufficient beings): 180
* **Sookshm-Ekendriya-Apariapt Jiv Rashai** (Number of subtle one-sensed insufficient beings): 60
* **Badar-Ekendriya-Apariapt-Jiv Rashai** (Number of two-sensed insufficient beings): 12
* **Badar-Ekendriya-Paryapt-Jiv Rashai** (Number of two-sensed sufficient beings): 4
* **Ekendriya Apariapt Jiv** (Number of one-sensed insufficient beings): 72
* **Ekendriya-Paryapt** (Number of one-sensed sufficient beings): 14
The number of beings is **Vitichpamaanam Asankhen Vahidpadarangaleran Hivpadaran** (infinitely more than the number of beings with one sense). **Hogakam Padibhago Pravaliya Sankhabhago Du** (The proportion is the countless part of the series). **Bahubhago Samabhago Chaunnamede Sime Shakhabhagalshi** (The majority is divided into four equal parts, and each part is given to each category in the order mentioned). **Uttakamo Tatthabi Bahubhago Bahugas De Pro Du** (The majority of the remaining part is given to the category with the highest number, and this process continues until the end). **Trivipachpunnapaman Padarangal Sankhabhaghihidpadaran** (The number of beings with three senses, four senses, and five senses is obtained by dividing the number of beings with one sense into countless parts). **Hogakam Punnurga Vitichpajeech Aparajjata** (The number of beings with two senses, three senses, four senses, and five senses is less than the number of beings with one sense).
**Mathaarth** (Meaning):
When the universe is divided into countless parts, the number of beings with two senses, three senses, four senses, and five senses is obtained. However, the number of beings with one sense, two senses, three senses, and four senses is progressively less than the number of beings with five senses. The proportion is the countless part of the series. **178**
The majority should be divided into four equal parts, and each part should be given to each category in the order mentioned. The majority of the remaining part should be given to the category with the highest number, and this process should continue until the end. **179**
When the universe is divided into countless parts, the number of beings with two senses, three senses, four senses, and five senses who are sufficient is obtained, which is less than the number of beings with one sense. The number of beings with two senses, three senses, four senses, and five senses who are insufficient is obtained by subtracting the number of beings who are sufficient from the total number of beings with two senses, three senses, four senses, and five senses. **180**
