**Meaning:** The changes in the *mana* *kṣaya* are obtained by adding the changes in *lobha* and *māyā* to the changes in *krodha*. According to the numerical calculation, the changes in *lobha* are 3, the changes in *māyā* are 6, and the changes in *mana* are 18. Adding these three (18 + 3 + 6) gives 27 changes in *krodha*.
In the *devagati*, *lobha* and *māyā* are repeated a thousand times, and then there is a transformation into *mana*. Because *lobha* and *māyā* are seen to be abundant in the *preya* state, after obtaining a thousand changes in *lobha* and *māyā*, it transforms into *lobha* and then transcends *māyā* in the *māyā* state, becoming *mana* once. This process is repeated, and the changes in *mana* also become a thousand. Then, another type of change occurs. When there are a thousand changes in *mana*, there is one change in *krodha*. Each change in *mana* *kṣaya* is the result of a thousand changes in *lobha* and *māyā*. In this way, when there are a thousand changes in *mana* *kṣaya*, there is one change in *krodha*. Because in the *devagati*, the *krodha* result is not usually produced. This cycle of change continues until the end of the lifespan obtained.
In the numerical calculation, the changes in *lobha* *kṣaya* are 27, the changes in *māyā* are 18, the changes in *mana* are 6, and the changes in *krodha* are 33.
In the *devagati*, the changes in *krodha* *kṣaya* are few. The changes in *mana* *kṣaya* are a multiple of them. The changes in *māyā* *kṣaya* are a multiple of those. The changes in *lobha* *kṣaya* are significantly more. The proof of this is the numerical proportion, which is equal to the changes in *krodha* and *mana*. By adding the time related to *kṣaya* in the *devagati*, dividing the *deva* population by it, and then dividing the resulting quotient into four parts, and multiplying them by the time of *krodha* etc. in the order of the *paripati*, their respective amounts are obtained. The same should be understood for the *nārakas*.
In humans and animals, the number of beings with *kṣaya* is obtained by the method of *raṇaratiriya* *loha* *māyā* *koho* *mārano* *vidyādiviya*.
**Gatha 18:**
**Meaning:** Just as the number of beings with two senses etc. has been obtained, in the same way, the number of humans and animals with *lobha*, *māyā*, *krodha*, and *mana* should be obtained in the order of the countless parts of the *pāvali*. Alternatively, the number of beings with the aforementioned *kṣaya* should be calculated by taking into account their respective time.
**Special Meaning:** The time of *mana* is the least. The time of *krodha* is significantly more than that. The time of *māyā* is significantly more than that. The time of *lobha* is significantly more than that. The flowing...
