## Gatha 114-166
Kayamargga /271
Those who are mostly devoid of **Jiva** and have **Dhyeya** are **Kayamargga**. Because in them, **Moksha**-bound beings are available. But the influence of worldly beings is not obtained. For its accomplishment, the following Gatha is said.
**Skandha, Andar, Pravas, Pulvi and Nigoda** bodies, their nature and number:
**Skandha** are countless **Loka** in number. **Andar**, **Pravas**, **Pulvi** and **Nigoda** bodies are situated in a progressively countless-multiplied order. ||164||
**Gatha-artha**: Just as there are houses in **Saketa** city, **Saketa** city in **Kosala** country, **Kosala** country in **Bharat** region, and **Bharat** region in **Jambu** island, similarly, there are **Skandha**, **Andar** in **Skandha**, **Pravas** in **Andar**, **Pulvi** in **Pravas**, and **Nigoda** bodies in **Pulvi**. ||165||
**Vishesh-artha**: **Skandha**, **Andar**, **Pravas**, **Pulvi** and **Nigoda** bodies are five. Among them, the one that is the abode of **Badar-Nigoda**, is full of **Vakkharas** and is similar to **Valajanta-Varinaya-Kachchaud**, is called **Skandha**, which bears the name **Mooli**, **Thar** and **Lata**, etc. These **Skandha** are countless **Loka** in number, because **Badar-Nigoda** established **Jiva** are found in countless **Loka**. Those who are the components of these **Skandha** and are similar to the anterior and posterior parts of **Balajanta-Prakkachchaud**, are called **Andar**. Those who are situated within **Andar** and are similar to the **Kachchaud-Andar** situated **Vakravar**, are called **Pravas**. There are countless **Loka** in number of **Andar** in each **Skandha**. There are countless **Loka** in number of **Pravas** in each **Andar**. Those who are situated within **Pravas** and are similar to the **Kachchaud-Apahar-Vakkhar** situated **Pishvi**, are called **Pulvi**. There are countless **Loka** in number of **Pulvi** in each **Pravas**. And in each **Pravas**, there are countless **Loka** in number of **Nigoda** bodies in each **Pulvi**, which are the material cause of **Audarik**, **Tanjas** and **Karman** **Pudgalas** and are similar to the substances situated within **Kachchaud-Andar-Vavswara-Pulvi**, filled with countless **Nigoda** beings. Or, just as there are **Jambu** island, **Bharat**, **Janapad**, **Gram** and **Pur**, similarly, there are **Skandha**, **Andar**, **Pravas**, **Pulvi** and **Nigoda** bodies.
The number of **Jiva** in one **Nigoda** body is more than the number of substances:
In one **Nigoda** body, the number of **Jiva** is more than the number of substances. This is because the **Jiva** are countless in number and are multiplied by the **Siddha** in the second time. ||166||
