**Verse 253**
**Verse Meaning:** The measure of the decay of the three initial bodies is an antarmuhurta. The measure of the decay of the Tejas body and the Karman body is an infinitesimal fraction of a palya. ||253||
**Special Meaning:** By dividing the substance of the first insemination by the insemination divisor (two decay measures), the measure of the selection is obtained. Each inseminator becomes devoid of one selection. From the substance of the first insemination, as it decreases, until it becomes half of the substance of the first insemination, there is one decay measure. When it becomes twice as deficient, i.e., half, the second decay measure begins. Because in each decay measure, the substance becomes twice as deficient (half), therefore, its name, decay measure, is meaningful. The number of inseminations in one decay measure is called the decay measure mayaam or the decay measure adhwaan.
The Audarik body, the Vaikriyika body, and the Aharak body have a measure of one decay measure's length as an antarmuhurta, and the three decay measures are equal in their transfer. But the measure of the decay of the Tejas body and the Karman body is only an infinitesimal fraction of a palya; which is obtained by dividing their respective excellent states by their respective numerous decay measures.
In the first time of the existence of the Audarik and Vaikriyika bodies, the region that is inseminated, above that, after an antarmuhurta time (one decay measure), the inseminated (irrigated) region there becomes twice as deficient. Again, above the twice-deficient insemination, after the same situated adhwaan, the other insemination is twice as deficient. In this way, it becomes twice as deficient until there are three palyas and thirty-three sagaras. Successively, above the desired twice-deficient insemination, the situated antarmuhurta adhwaan goes and the situated insemination becomes twice as deficient. In this order, one should take it to the final state of three palyas and thirty-three sagaras.
One-region decay measure transfer is an antarmuhurta measure, and many-region decay measure transfer is an infinitesimal fraction of a palya measure. ||274|| The fact that the decay measure transfer is an antarmuhurta measure is known from the sutra itself, because it is situated in violation of the subject matter of the reasoning. But the measure of the many decay measure scales is known from both the sutra and the reasoning. If an antarmuhurta receives one decay measure scale, then how many decay measure scales will three palyas and thirty-three sagaras receive? In this way, by dividing the desired quantity by the measure quantity multiplied by the fruit quantity, the many decay measure transfer is obtained as an infinitesimal fraction of a palya measure. One-region decay measure transfer is small, because it is an antarmuhurta measure. From that, many-region decay measure transfer is countless times greater, the multiplier is an infinitesimal fraction of a palya.
Here, the description of the arrangement of regions of the Aharak body is done. In the first time, the Aharak became, and in the first time, the जीव who became in that state, in the first time, the region that was deposited by him,
