## Gatha 634-640
Savyatrantramagamsar / 665
(The total number of Jivas in the 6th and 7th Gunasthanas is 66666666. This is calculated as follows: 46666664 Jivas in the 6th Gunasthanas (Pramatta-Samyata) + 22766468 Jivas in the 7th Gunasthanas (A-Pramatta-Samyata) + 533034 Kevalis (who are in the 4th and 5th Kshapaka and 4th Upa-Shamaka Gunasthanas) = 66666666.)
"Chakkadi chakkta channavamajja ya sanjada sanve. Tigabhajida vigagurigadapamattarasi patta du 56."
The total number of Samyata Jivas is represented by a number that has six at the beginning and six in the middle (6666666). Dividing this number by three gives the number of A-Pramatta-Samyata Jivas (in the 7th, 14th, and 21st Gunasthanas). Multiplying this third part by two gives the number of Pramatta-Samyata Jivas in the 6th Gunasthanas. (66666666 ÷ 3 = 23333332 A-Pramatta-Samyata Jivas, 23333332 x 2 = 46666664 Pramatta-Samyata Jivas. This is according to the accepted view.)
There is a difference between the Northern and Southern views on this matter.
The duration of the Avahara Kala (the time spent in the first four Gunasthanas of the four Gatis) and the relative abundance and scarcity of Jivas in each Gati is described as follows:
"Ghasanjay missa sasar sammaran bhagahara je. Ruuranavaliyasankajezzeri gah bhajya tattha shikkhite." 634
"Devanam shravahara honti asankhen tariye pravahariya. Tattheva ya pakkhitte sohammisaag shravahara." 635
"Sohammsaranaharamsankher ya gurave. Uvari shrasanjada misstay- sasara sammaran shravahara." 636
"Sohammadaasarajoisivaran- bhavaran- liriya pudhvisu. Avirda- misse sankham sankhasankhaguna sasane dese." 637
"Charamdharaasaragahara graranav- sammaran praranapharidi. Antim gaveccatam sammaramsankha sankha- guranahara." 638
"Tatto tanuttaan vamagamana uddisarana vijayadi. Sammanan sankhaguno sharagada misse asankhaguno." 639
"Tatto sankajezzaguna sasarasammanan hodi sankhaguno. Utane kamaso parasttach durasandithi." 640
