When adding to the increase, the first place is the *sanchataguṇavṛddhi*. This place is *anantaguna* increase from the increase of *urvak* places of the lower *sthānāntara*, *asankahyataguṇavṛddhi* from the increase of *caturank* *sthānāntara*, and *prasankhyataguṇavṛddhi* from the increase of *pancank* *sthānāntara*.
From the lower *urvak* *sthānāntara* of the upper *bhraṣṭa*, there is *anantaguna*, from the first seven *ank* of the first six places of the upper, there is *asankahyataguṇa* from the *caturank* *sthānāntara*, and from the second *asankahyataguṇavṛddhi*, there is *sanchataguṇa* from the lower *sanchatabhāgavṛddhi* *sthānāntara*, *sanchatabhāga* less, *sanchataguṇa* less, or *prasankhyataguṇa* less.
*Asankhyataguṇavṛddhi* is increased by the multiplication of *prasankhyat* *loka*. || 212 ||
When the *kaṇḍakapramāṇa* becomes six *ank*, the last *urvak* situated in the subject (place) of the upper six *ank* is multiplied by *asankahyat* *loka* to obtain the increase as per the rules, and *asankahyataguṇavṛddhi* is produced. By reciprocating the *urvak* and adding the increase to it, the *asankahyataguṇavṛddhi* place is obtained. By reducing one division from *asankahyataguṇavṛddhi*, there is a *sthānāntara*. This is *anantaguna* from the lower *anantabhāgavṛddhi* *sthānāntara*, *asankahyataguṇa* from the *asankahyatabhāgavṛddhi*, *sanchatabhāgavṛddhi*, and *sanchataguṇavṛddhi* *sthānāntara*, *anantaguna* from the lower *anantabhāgavṛddhi* *sthānāntara* situated below the upper *guṇavṛddhi* place, *asankahyataguṇa* from the *asankahyatabhāgavṛddhi* *sthānāntara*, *sanchataguṇa* from the *sanchatabhāgavṛddhi* *sthānāntara*, *sanchatabhāga* less, *sanchataguṇa* less, or *prasankhyataguṇa* less, and *asankahyataguṇa* less from the *sanchataguṇavṛddhi* and *asankahyataguṇavṛddhi* *sthānāntara*. One should know further.
*Anantaguna* increase is increased by the multiplication of all beings. || 214 ||
By multiplying the lower *urvak* by the total number of beings, *anantaguna* increase is obtained. By reciprocating it and adding it to the *anantaguna* increase, the *anantaguna* increase place is obtained. Here also, comparison should be made with the *sthānāntara*. In this way, the representation of increases situated in the *pad* places of *asankahyat* *loka* should be done.
Here, the *urvak* is the name of *anantabhāgavṛddhi*, *caturank* is the name of *asankahyatabhāgavṛddhi*, *pancank* is the name of *sanchatabhāgavṛddhi*, *ṣaḍank* is the name of *sanchataguṇavṛddhi*, *saptank* is the name of *prasankhyataguṇavṛddhi*, and *aṣṭak* is the name of *anantaguna* increase. The *ank* (3) of *u* and *3* is similar, therefore, instead of keeping the name *tryank* for *anantabhāgavṛddhi*, *urvak* is kept, the purpose is only from the *ank* of three. Because three, four, five, six, seven, eight, these become six places. The names of the remaining places, *caturank* etc., are given in order of numbers.
**Doubt:** What is called *aṣṭank*?
**Solution:** What is obtained by multiplying the lower *urvak* by the total number of beings, the place which is more than that *urvak* from the lower, is *aṣṭank*.
**Doubt:** The lowest place is *aṣṭank*, how is this known?
**Solution:** From the lowest place, the *kaṇḍak* of *anantabhāgavṛddhi* places goes to *prasankhyatabhāgavṛddhi*
