## Gatha 461-464
**Knowledge Path/ 526**
No type of instruction is found. It is so special that there are ten *Man:paryaya* knowers, ten *Upashamak* and twenty *Kshapak*.
There is *Sayogi* *Jin* *Laksha* *Pruthaktva* in *Keval* knowers. The number of *Keval* knowers is greater than this. The number of *Keval* knowers is the main *Siddh* *Rashi* because they are infinite. *Sayog* *Kevali* and *Prayog* *Kevali* are countable. The number of *Keval* knowers is greater than *Sayog* *Kevali* and *Prayog* *Kevali*.
*Matyagyani* and *Shrutagyani* beings are infinite because all the *Mithyadristi* and *Sasadan* *Samyagdristi* beings are *Matyagyani* and *Shrutagyani*. Because no *Mithyadristi* and *Sasadan* *Samyagdristi* beings are found who are free from both types of ignorance. *Mithyadristi* beings are infinite. Even though they are infinite, they are of medium infinite quantity. *Sasadan* *Samyagdristi* beings are a fraction of the *Paly*.
**Doubt:** *Vibhang* knowers are *Mithyadristi* and *Sasadan* *Samyagdristi* beings, therefore the number of *Shrotamithyadristi* and *Sasadan* *Samyagdristi* beings is less than the number of *Matyagyani* and *Shrutagyani* beings.
**Solution:** No, because *Vibhang* knowers are not found separately except for *Matyagyani* and *Shrutagyani* beings, therefore their number is equal to the number of *Mithyadristi* and *Sasadan* *Samyagdristi* beings.
When the entire *Jiva* *Rashi* is divided into infinite parts, the majority of them are *Matyagyani* and *Shrutagyani* *Mithyadristi* beings. When the remaining one part is divided into infinite parts, the majority of them are *Kevalgyani* beings. When the remaining one part is divided into countless parts, the majority of them are *Vibhanggyani* *Mithyadristi* beings. When the remaining one part is divided into countless parts, the majority of them are *Matyagyani* *Shrutagyani* *Asanyat* *Samyagdristi* beings. By multiplying the number of these *Matyagyani* and *Shrutagyani* *Asanyat* *Samyagdristi* beings and dividing it by the countless parts of *Gravali*, the quotient obtained is subtracted from the same number, and the remaining number is the *Avadhigyani* *Asanyat* *Samyagdristi* *Jiva* *Rashi*.
According to the *Ank* *Sandristi*, the number of different knowers in *Gyanamaargana* is as follows:
* **Pratyashani:** Countless
* **Bhrutagyani:** Countless
* **Vibhanggyani:** Countless
* **Mati:** Countless
* **Shrutagyani:** Countless
* **Avadhigyani:** Countable
* **Man:paryaya:** Countable
* **Kevalgyani:** Infinite
Thus, the twelfth chapter of *Gommatasar* *Jivakanda* named *Gyanamaargana* is complete.
* **Jiva Rashi:** Infinite
* **Kevalgyani:** Infinite
* **Sayog Kevali:** Countable
* **Prayog Kevali:** Countable
* **Matyagyani:** Infinite
* **Shrutagyani:** Infinite
* **Vibhanggyani:** Countless
* **Avadhigyani:** Countable
* **Man:paryaya:** Countable
* **Upashamak:** 10
* **Kshapak:** 20
