**Chapter 212**
These are the qualities. There are countless beings with qualities. Those countless infinite beings who have one body in common are called Nigodajivas. Thus, common and Nigod are synonymous terms. In the entire amount of Badar Nigod, when divided by countless beings, one part is the amount of sufficient Badar Nigod beings, and the remaining majority part is the amount of insufficient Badar Nigod beings. This is proven by the appropriate small-large difference.
**Question:** What is the reason for the scarcity of sufficient beings among Badars?
**Answer:** Badar is a virtuous nature, and sufficiency is also a virtuous nature. Among the aforementioned Nigod beings, those who have both Badar and sufficient virtuous natures are scarce. Here, the time of accumulation is not the subject of discussion, but the virtuous nature is.
**Verse 212:**
**Gathaarth:** When the world-span is divided by the countless part of a Pavali, the amount of Tris beings is obtained, and when the world-span is divided by the countable part of a Pavali, the amount of sufficient Tris beings is obtained. By subtracting the amount of sufficient Tris from the general amount of Tris, the remaining amount is the amount of insufficient Tris.
**Special Meaning:** The amount of Sakayik Labdhyaparyaptak beings is equal to the amount of Panchendriya Labdhyaparyaptak beings.
**Doubt:** When the Dwindriya, Trindriya, Chaturindriya, and Panchendriya Labdhyaparyaptak beings are combined, the amount of Sakayik Labdhyaparyaptak beings is obtained. Then how can the description of Asakayik Labdhyaparyaptak beings be similar to the description of Panchendriya Labdhyaparyaptak beings?
**Answer:** This is not a fault, because in both cases, i.e., Panchendriya Labdhyaparyaptak and Asakayik Labdhyaparyaptak, the instruction is given to consider the division in the form of the countless part of a Pratarangul to obtain the amount. The Ganadhar cannot refute the special aspect of their description in terms of meaning. Therefore, the amount of Tris beings will be stated based on the foundation of Panchendriya, because both have the same division; for example,
With respect to the field, the Panchendriya and Panchendriya sufficient beings, the world-span is taken away by the square-shaped portion of the countless part of a Sucyangula and the square-shaped portion of the countable part of a Sucyangula.
