## Gatha 664-664
## Aharmarganga / 723
If one takes one Pratarangul out of 65536 Prataranguls and divides it into a number of parts and removes one part from them and mixes the remaining multi-parts in it, then it is the time of the Avahara of the sentient beings. Dividing this by the Jagattar, the number of sentient beings is obtained.
All the beings in the world are not taken away by the infinite number of non-sentient beings.
They are infinite. If the number of sentient beings is reduced by an innumerable amount, there remains a number which is infinite and infinite in the number of Shravasarpini and Utsarpini.
Thus, in the Gommatamar Jivakanda, the 18th chapter named Shashi Bhagaranga is complete.

## The nature of Aharak
The being who receives the appropriate classifications of body, speech and mind, which are the result of the Karma-Udaya of the body, is called Aharak. || 664 ||
The being who receives the appropriate classifications of any one of the three bodies - Audarik, Vaikrimik and Aharak - and the classifications of speech and mind according to the rules, is called Aharak. || 665 ||
## Special Meaning:
The act of receiving the Pudgalas which are suitable for the three bodies and six Paryaptis is called Ahar. The Pudgal Pind which is suitable for the Audarik etc. bodies, is called Ahar, which is outside the body, i.e., the act of receiving it. The Ahar classification creates the three bodies (Audarik, Vaikrimik and Aharak bodies).
## Doubt:
Are the same classifications used to create the Audarik and Vaikrimik bodies as those used to create the Aharak body? If not, how can it be said that the Ahar classification creates three bodies?
## Solution:
It is not correct to say so. Although, generally, through the Ahar classification,
