**Ganas 543, 545**
**Leshya Marga/605**
"From the perspective of time, countless numbers of five-sensed Tiryanch Yonis are taken away by the countless numbers of Shravansarpini and Utsarpini." ||20||
**Meaning:** The number of five-sensed Tiryanch Yonis is countless kalpas. The beings with Padmaleshya are a countable portion of this number, therefore they are also countless kalpas in number. The beings with Tejoleshya are a countable multiple of those with Padmaleshya, therefore their number is also countless kalpas. The beings with Shukla Leshya are a countable portion of the first.
There are countless numbers of countless numbers of countless variations of Avadhijnana. Therefore, each of these beings with auspicious Leshya is a part of this immense multitude. This should be understood according to the principle of Bahutva.

**Sahasamugdhaade Loyassa Sankhejj Vibhangam**
**Khesam Tu Tejataye.** ||543||
**Sukkasamugdhaade Prasankhaloga Ya Sathyalogo Ya.** ||545 First Half||
**Gathaarth:** In the case of inauspicious Leshyas, the realm is the size of all the lokas, compared to Svasthan, Samudhyat, and Uppaad. The realm of the three auspicious Leshyas, namely Teja, Padma, and Shukla, is a countable portion of the lokas. ||543|| The realm of Shukla Leshya is a countable portion of the lokas compared to Samudhyat, a countable multiple of the lokas, or all the lokas. ||545 First Half||
**Vishesharth:** The realm of Krishna, Neel, and Kapoot Leshyas is the size of all the lokas compared to Svasthan, Samudhyat, and Uppaad. The realm of Teja and Padmaleshyas is a countable portion of the lokas compared to Svasthan, Samudhyat, and Uppaad. The realm of Shukla Leshya is a countable portion of the lokas compared to Svasthan and Uppaad, a countable portion of the lokas compared to Samudhyat, a countless multiple of the lokas, or all the lokas.

**Doubt:** What is meant by "realm"?
**Solution:** The realm is where beings "kshiyanti" (reside). This is the etymological meaning. Akash, Gagan, Devpath, Guhakarit (the dwelling place of Yakshas) are synonyms. Shravagan Lakshana, Atreya, Vyapak, Aadhar, and Bhoomi are synonymous with the material realm. From the perspective of Dravyarthik Nay, the realm is of one type. Or, from the perspective of the purpose of the shelter, the realm is of two types: Lokakash and Alokakash. The loka is where beings and other material substances are observed and found. Conversely, the Alok is where beings and other material substances are not seen. Or, from the perspective of the difference in the country, the realm is of three types: the region above the peak of Mandarachal (Mount Sumeru) is called Urdhvalok, the region below the base of Mandarachal is called Adholok, and the region enclosed by Mandarachal, i.e., the region of its size, is called Madhyalok.
