## Verse 550
**"The number of realms touched by the gods with the white aura is slightly less than eight-fourteenths (2/7) of the total realms, because the gods with the white aura do not have the fatal *samudghāt* (state of being) in their one-sensed beings. The number of realms touched by the *upapāda* (state of being) is an innumerable fraction of the total realms, or slightly less than five-fourteenths (1/7) of the total realms compared to the past time. (207-208) This is because the *sahaṣrāra* kalpa (time period) is located five *rājū* (units of measurement) away from the base of Mount Meru. The beings with the white aura have touched an innumerable fraction of the realms from the *svasthāna* (state of being) and *upapāda* (state of being) states, or slightly less than six-fourteenths (3/7) of the realms compared to the past time. (206-211)
**Explanation:** From the *svasthāna* (state of being) state, they have touched an innumerable fraction of the three realms, a countable fraction of the *tiryagloka* (realm of animals), and an innumerable multiple of the area from two and a half islands. From the *vihāravat* *svasthāna* (state of being) and *upapāda* (state of being) states, they have touched six-fourteenths (3/7) of the realms. This is because the beings who are born in the *pāraṇa-acyuta* kalpas (time periods) from the *tiryagloka* (realm of animals) and who perform the *nīla* *vihāra* (meditation) for six *rājū* (units of measurement) have touched this much area.
**Compared to the *samudghāt* (state of being), the beings with the white aura have touched an innumerable fraction of the realms, or all the realms. (550)
**Meaning:** However, (the beings with the white aura) have touched an innumerable fraction of the realms, or all the realms, compared to the *samudghāt* (state of being). (557)
**Special Meaning:** The special feature is that the beings with the white aura have touched an innumerable fraction of the realms from the *samudghāt* (state of being) states, or slightly less than six-fourteenths (3/7) of the realms compared to the past time. (213-214) This is because in the *pāraṇa-acyuta* kalpa (time period) gods, there are animals and humans who perform the fatal *samudghāt* (state of being). The touching of the realms compared to the *vedanā* (state of being), *kaṣāya* (state of being), and *vaikrīyika* *samudghāt* (state of being) is similar to the *vihāravat* *svasthāna* (state of being). Or, compared to the *kevalī* *samudghāt* (state of being), an innumerable fraction of the realms, or all the realms, is touched. (215-216) The beings who have attained the *daṇḍa* *samudghāt* (state of being) have touched an innumerable fraction of the four realms and an innumerable multiple of the area from two and a half islands. Similarly, the beings who have attained the *kapāṭa* *samudghāt* (state of being) have also touched this much area. The special feature is that they have touched a countable fraction of the *tiryagloka* (realm of animals), or a countable multiple of the area from the *tiryagloka* (realm of animals).
**Doubt:** Is it possible for the *kevalīs* (liberated beings) who have attained the *daṇḍa* *samudghāt* (state of being) to touch the said area?
**Solution:** The *utsedha* (power) of the *kevalīs* (liberated beings) who have attained the *utkṛṣṭa* *avagāhana* (highest knowledge) is one hundred *pāṭha* *pramāṇāṅgala* (units of measurement).
