## Yogamargag/31
The Pradeshāgras are infinitely superior to the Pradeshā, because that is their nature. They are infinitely superior to the Abhavya and infinitely inferior to the Siddhas. The Bhāshā-vargaṇās, Manovārgaṇās, and Kārmāṇa-śarīra-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Pradeshārtathā. ||786||
At the same time, with the same Yoga, the Bhāshā-vargaṇās, which are capable of transforming into Bhāshā-rūpa-paryāya, are infinitely superior to the Pradeshāgras. At the same time, with the same Yoga, the Manodravya-vargaṇās, which are capable of becoming Dravyamāna, are infinitely superior to the Pradeshāgras. At the same time, with the same Yoga, the Kārmāṇa-dravya-vargaṇās, which are capable of becoming Pāṭha, are infinitely superior to the Pradeshāgras. Everywhere, the superiority is infinitely greater than the Abhavya and infinitely less than the Siddhas.
The Avagāhanā of the Alpābahutva-Kārmāṇa-śarīra-dravya-vargaṇās is the least compared to the Avagāhanā. Because, when a single Dhanāṅgula is divided into an infinite number of parts, the Avagāhanā of a single Kārmāṇa-vargaṇā is produced. The Manodravya-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Avagāhanā. They are infinitely greater than the part of an Angula. The Bhāshā-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Avagāhanā. ||762|| They are infinitely greater than the part of an Angula. The Taijasa-śarīra-dravya-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Avagāhanā. ||793|| They are infinitely greater than the part of an Angula. The Grāhārak-śarīra-dravya-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Avagāhanā. ||764|| They are infinitely greater than the part of an Angula. The Vaikriyika-śarīra-dravya-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Avagāhanā. ||765|| They are infinitely greater than the part of an Angula. The Audārika-śarīra-dravya-vargaṇās are infinitely superior to the Avagāhanā. ||766|| They are infinitely greater than the part of an Angula.
The meaning of all this is that the Audārika-śarīra is gross, the Vaikriyika-śarīra is subtle, the Vaikriyika-śarīra is subtle compared to the Audārika-śarīra, the Grāhārak-śarīra is subtle compared to the Vaikriyika-śarīra, the Taijasa-śarīra is subtle compared to the Grāhārak-śarīra, and the Kārmāṇa-śarīra is subtle compared to the Taijasa-śarīra. This statement is made in comparison to the Avagāhanā, but in comparison to the Pradeshā, there are infinitely more Pradeshā in the Vaikriyika-śarīra than in the Audārika-śarīra, infinitely more Pradeshā in the Grāhārak-śarīra than in the Vaikriyika-śarīra, infinitely more Pradeshā in the Taijasa-śarīra than in the Grāhārak-śarīra, and infinitely more Pradeshā in the Kārmāṇa-śarīra than in the Taijasa-śarīra.
**Question:** If this is the case, then the later body is larger than the earlier body.
**Answer:** This is not a fault, because there is no difference in size due to the specific type of bondage. For example, a pile of cotton and a ball of iron.
The number of atoms in the time-bound state of these five bodies increases progressively, but the Avagāhanā becomes increasingly subtle. The time-bound state and the Avagāhanā of the Audārika-śarīra is obtained by dividing a Dhanāṅgula by an infinite number of parts of a Sūcyaṅgula. By dividing this again by an infinite number of parts of a Sūcyaṅgula, the time-bound state and the Avagāhanā of the Vaikriyika-śarīra is obtained. By dividing this again by an infinite number of parts of a Sūcyaṅgula, the time-bound state and the Avagāhanā of the Grāhārak-śarīra is obtained. By dividing this again by an infinite number of parts of a Sūcyaṅgula, the time-bound state and the Avagāhanā of the Taijasa-śarīra is obtained.
