These are obtained in the time of Ashvakarnakarana and are called A-purvaspardhakas, which are progressively diminishing in nature due to the loss multiplied by the Mantguna from the Purvaspardhakas obtained in the Samara state. The Laamaama of these A-purvaspardhakas is equal to the Adivargna of all the Deshghati Spardhakas of all the Karma of all the Prakshapka Jivas. Even among all the Deshghatis, only the Adivargna of all the Deshghati Karmas except Mithyatva is equal. These are called Purvaspardhakas. After that, the same Avedi Jiva of the first time does A-purvaspardhakas of all the four Sanjwalana Kashayas from those Spardhakas. [Ka. Pa. Chanisutra 463-64] Although this Avedi Kshapka of the first time removes all the four A-purvaspardhakas of Kashayas together, the method of doing the A-purvaspardhaka of the first Lobha is said to be - by taking the Asankhyatava part from the Purvaspardhakas of Sanjwalnalobha, the other Spardhakas are removed in the Anantva part below the first Deshghati Spardhaka. Although they are Ananta in comparison to the Gana, they are A-purvaspardhakas in the same amount as the Asankhyatava part of the Spardhakas of the Pradesh Gana Hanimanaantara. That is, in the Adivargna of the first (having the least Anubhaga) Deshghati Spardhakas of the Purvaspardhakas, there are as many A-vibhagapratichhedas as there are A-vibhagapratichhedas in the Anantva part of the Adivargna of the last A-purvaspardhaka. In this way, the amount of A-purvaspardhakas removed is only the Asankhyatava part of the Spardhakas within the Pradesh Guna Hanisthanantara. The Adivargna of the Purvaspardhakas is progressively diminished by one-one particular Vargana, the place where it is diminished by two is called Ekapradesha Guna Hanisthanantara.
In the first time, the A-purvaspardhakas that are removed, the A-vibhagapratichhedas are less in the Adivargna of the first Spardhaka. The A-vibhagapratichhedas are more in the Adivargna of the second Spardhaka by Ananta Bahubhaga. The A-vibhagapratichhedas of the Adivargna of the second Spardhaka are slightly less than the second part and more than the A-vibhagapratichhedas of the Adivargna of the third Spardhaka. The A-vibhagapratichhedas of the Adivargna of the third Spardhaka are slightly less than the third part and more than the A-vibhagapratichhedas of the Adivargna of the fourth Spardhaka.
In this way, until the Adivargna of the last Spardhaka in the Jghanya Parita Asankhyata Pramana Spardhakas becomes more than the Adivargna of the Adivargna below it by the Utkrishta Sankhyatava part and does not reach the end of the Sankhyatava part increase, then this type of fourth, fifth, etc. part should be taken more in order. Further (from the beginning), until the Adivargna of the last Spardhaka in the Jghanya Parita Ananta Pramana Spardhakas becomes more than the Adivargna of the Spardhaka below it by the Utkrishta Asankhyata Asankhyatava part and does not reach the end of the Asankhyatava part increase, then the order of Asankhyatava part increase remains. Further, one should know the order of Anantva part increase until the last Spardhaka. * The Adivargna of the first Spardhaka is less in the A-purvaspardhakas that are removed in the first time. From this, the Adivargna of the last A-purvaspardhaka is Anantguna. From this, the Adivargna of the Purvaspardhaka is Satguna. In the first time of Ashvakarnakarana, just as the A-purvaspardhakas of Sanjwalna Lobha are
