## **Guṇasthāna/34**
One should accept the four divisions of Vikathā in reverse order, but while accepting the second division of the Kṣaya, Hīvara, one should accept only the first division of the Indriya, Sparśana. Similarly, leaving Māna, one should accept the third division of Kṣaya, 'Māyā', and recite the Vikathā from the beginning to the end, but in all these four, the first division of Indriya, Sparśana, is mentioned. Similarly, leaving the third division of Kṣaya, Māyā, one should accept the last division, Lobha, and recite the four Pālapas and the changes, but with the first division of Indriya, Sparśana. These 16 divisions have been accepted in reverse order, with the first division, Vikathā, being accepted once, the second division, Kṣaya, being accepted four times, and the third division, Indriya, being accepted once.
Again, one should recite these 16 Pālapas with the second division of Indriya, Rasana, by reversing the first division, Vikathā, four times and the second division, Kṣaya, once. Similarly, one should recite the 16 divisions with the third division of Indriya, Ghragna. One should recite the 16 Pālapas by changing the third division, Indriya, up to its last division, Śrotra. Thus, all three divisions (Vikathā-Kṣaya-Indriya) should be brought to their respective last divisions. One should know the statement of the change in the Akṣa-saṃcāra in relation to the second Prastāra.
**Gāthārtha** - (To find the Pramada-bhanga), divide it by the Akṣa-piṇḍa-pramāṇa. The remainder obtained should be noted and the Akṣa-sthāna should be known. Add one to the quotient. If the division is exact and the remainder is zero, then the last division of the Praka should be accepted and one should not add one to the quotient.
**Viśeṣārtha** - This Gāthārtha is explained with an example in relation to the first Prastāra. To find the 15th bhanga, divide 15 by the piṇḍa-pramāṇa of the third Akṣa, Indriya, which is five (15/5). The quotient is three and the remainder is zero. Therefore, the last division of the Indriya Praka, Śrotra, is accepted. Again, divide the quotient, three, by the piṇḍa-pramāṇa of the second Akṣa, Kṣaya, which is four (3/4). The quotient is zero and the remainder is three. Therefore, the third division of Kṣaya, Māyā-kṣaya, is accepted. Adding one to the quotient (0+1), we get one. Dividing this by the piṇḍa-pramāṇa of the first Akṣa, Vikathā, which is four (1/4), the quotient is zero and the remainder is one. Therefore, the first division of Vikathā, Strīkathā, is accepted. Therefore, the 15th bhanga of Pramada is that of a Śnehavān, Nidrālu, Indriya-vaśībhūta, Māyāvī, Strīkathā-lāpī. This statement should be known in relation to the first Pāra.
