After thousands of transformations, there is one transformation of Maya. Since the beings in hell are full of vices, they have an abundance of anger and pride. Thus, with repeated transformations, the number of Maya transformations also becomes thousands. Then, according to the Visarsh Paripati, there is one transformation related to greed. Each transformation of Maya is inseparable from thousands of transformations of anger and pride. Thus, after thousands of transformations of Maya, there is one transformation of greed.
**Doubt:** Why does this happen?
**Solution:** In the hellish realm, which is full of extreme sins, the transformation of greed, which is the object of desire, is extremely rare. This sequence continues until the final moment of their destined state. Its illustration is as follows: In a hellish realm, in a life span of a countable number of years or in a life span of an uncountable number of years, after thousands of transformations of anger and pride like 1100, 2200, etc., there is one transformation of Maya, with anger overcoming pride in the final instance. Its illustration is 3210. Even then, following the same method, after thousands of transformations of anger and pride, there is one transformation of Maya, with anger overcoming pride in the final instance. Its illustration is 3210. Even then, following the same method, after thousands of transformations of Maya, the subsequent Paripati is that there is one transformation of greed, with anger overcoming pride and Maya. Its illustration is 3201. Even then, following the same method, after thousands of transformations of Maya, there is one transformation of greed, with anger overcoming pride and Maya. Its illustration is 3201. Even then, following the same method, after thousands of transformations of Maya, there is one transformation of greed. Its illustration is 3201. Thus, one should know this until the final moment of the lifespan obtained. Here, the total number of transformations of anger, pride, Maya, and greed are: anger 27, pride 18, Maya 6, greed 3.
The scarcity of these transformations is as follows:
According to this explanation, in a hellish realm, in a life span of a countable number of years or in a life span of an uncountable number of years, the transformations of greed are the rarest. Because transformations of greed are extremely rare in hell. The transformations of Maya are thousands of times more than the transformations of greed, because for every transformation of greed, there are thousands of transformations of Maya. The transformations of pride are thousands of times more than the transformations of Maya, because for every transformation of Maya, there are thousands of transformations of pride. The transformations of anger are even more numerous than the transformations of pride. The proof of this is their countable number. The transformations of pride are significantly more than the transformations of greed and Maya.
