Gatha 262-263
Only those beings with five senses who are *sanjee* (conscious) have these three *yogas* (actions): mind, speech, and body. The number of *sanjee* beings is said to be slightly more than the number of gods. There are also a significant number of *triindriya* (three-sensed), *triindriya* (three-sensed), *chaturindriya* (four-sensed), and *asanjee* (unconscious) *panchendriya* (five-sensed) beings. These beings have only two *yogas*: speech and body. Therefore, subtracting the number of *sanjee* *panchendriya* beings from the total number of beings (which is calculated by dividing the *jagatpratar* by the ninth part of a *pratarangula*) leaves the number of *dwiindriya* (two-sensed) and other *asanjee* *panchendriya* beings, who are only capable of speech and body *yogas*. Subtracting the number of beings with three *yogas* and two *yogas* from the total number of beings in the world leaves only the number of beings with one *yoga* (body), which is infinite.
Thus, this *gatha* describes the number of beings with no *yogas*, two *yogas*, and one *yoga*. Beings with three *yogas* and two *yogas* are countless, and beings with one *yoga* are infinite.
*Antomuhuttamela chaumurgajoga kaman sanka guna. Tajjoga samangan chauvacijoga tado du sanka gurga. ||262|| Tajjoga samannanam kano sankahado tijogamida. Sagaramasanima magashgangune du sagarasi. ||263||*
**Gatha Meaning:**
The time for each of the four mind *yogas* and collectively is *antarmuhurta* (a very short time), but they are in a numerical ratio. The time for the four *vakan yogas* is in a numerical ratio to the time for the collective mind *yoga*. The time for the body *yoga* is in a numerical ratio to the time for the collective speech *yoga*. By dividing the total number of beings with three *yogas* by the time for the collective three *yogas* and multiplying by the time for each individual *yoga*, we can obtain the number of beings for each *yoga*.
**Special Meaning:**
The number of beings in each *yoga* is determined by the time for that *yoga*, because it is during the time for that *yoga* that the beings associated with that *yoga* accumulate. The time for the four mind *yogas* and the collective mind *yoga*, as well as the time for the four speech *yogas* and the collective speech *yoga*, are in a numerical ratio, as follows:
* The time for *satyamanoyoga* (truthful mind *yoga*) is the shortest.
* The time for *bhrishamanoyoga* (deceitful mind *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for *ubhaymanoyoga* (mixed mind *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for *anubhavmanoyoga* (experiential mind *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for the collective mind *yoga* is significantly greater than that.
* The time for *satyavachanyoga* (truthful speech *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for *mrishvachanyoga* (deceitful speech *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for *ubhayvachanyoga* (mixed speech *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for *anubhavvachanyoga* (experiential speech *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
* The time for the collective speech *yoga* is significantly greater than that.
* The time for *kayayoga* (body *yoga*) is numerically greater than that.
Adding the time for the mind *yoga*, speech *yoga*, and body *yoga* gives us the total number of beings with three *yogas*.
