260/Mo. Sa. Jivakanda
Knowing the four divisions,
Of the gross and subtle bodies,
Is like one part in an innumerable number of dhanangulas.
The gross beings depend on a base,
But the subtle beings are everywhere without obstruction. || 184 ||
**Verse 164**
**Meaning of the Verse:** O worthy ones! The comprehension of the four types of stationary beings, both gross and subtle, is like one part in an innumerable number of dhanangulas. Gross, meaning gross beings, depend on a base, but subtle beings are filled everywhere without obstruction. || 1864 ||
**Special Meaning:** A dhanangula is obtained by multiplying a barley grain by three. The number of spaces in that dhanangula, when divided into innumerable parts, one part is an innumerable part of an angula. The bodies of the gross and subtle beings of earth, water, fire, and air, have that much comprehension, meaning that the bodies of those beings occupy an innumerable part of a dhanangula of space.
**Doubt:** What is the division of a dhanangula of space?
**Solution:** An innumerable part of a palya.
**Doubt:** Is this a measure of the least comprehension or the greatest comprehension?
**Solution:** From the least comprehension of the body of a subtle, insufficient, air-bodied being to the greatest comprehension of the body of a gross, sufficient, earth-bodied being, all the comprehensions of the body, meaning the comprehensions of the bodies of all the subtle and gross, earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, and air-bodied beings, are an innumerable part of an angula.
**Doubt:** The comprehension of all bodies is different, how can they all have the same measure?
**Solution:** There are innumerable divisions of an innumerable part of an angula, because the number innumerable is also of innumerable types. From a general perspective, they are all an innumerable part of an angula, but from a specific perspective, there is a difference in their magnitude.
**Doubt:** Is the difference in magnitude in terms of specific form or in terms of multiplication?
**Solution:** There is a difference in magnitude in terms of specific form as well as in terms of multiplication. This is clear from the previous statement about the comprehension of the body.
**Doubt:** How is it possible that even with an increase in multiplication in an innumerable part of an angula, it remains an innumerable part of an angula?
