_Out of the above 28 categories, the four categories related to Sanji-Panchendriya (sentient five-sense) beings will be discussed separately later. To understand the extent of the state of the remaining 24 categories, we will use the rule of three (trairaashik) to calculate the intervals. For example:_
The measure of time in a state is called its extent (aayam). Extent means length. Here, the highest state of a one-sense being's (ekendriya) false belief (mithyatva) is as vast as an ocean, and the lowest state is as much time as remains after subtracting an innumerable fraction of a moment from an ocean of time.
_According to the Karan Sutra, "Aadi Ante Suddhe Vahihi De Roov Sanju De Thana", the remaining measure after subtracting the beginning (lowest state) from the end (highest state) is divided by the measure of increase (one unit of time for each state). Adding one to the result gives the number of states of a one-sense being's false belief, which is an innumerable fraction of a moment. In the verses following this one, the number of intervals in the state of a one-sense being is represented by the following sequence: 1-24-14-28-98-196. These numbers are called "shalaaka". The sum of all these shalaaka is 343. Just like there are shares in a joint business, we need to understand these shalaaka. The alternatives in the state of a one-sense being, which is an innumerable fraction of a moment, are divided by 343. The resulting measure is considered one shalaaka. We need to multiply these shalaaka by their respective values to get the measure of their respective states. This is called the rule of three (trairaashik):_
If 343 shalaaka represent all the states of a one-sense being's false belief, which is an innumerable fraction of a moment, then how many states will be represented by 196 shalaaka? Here, the measure (pramaan) is 343 shalaaka, the result (phal) is the measure of the states of a one-sense being's false belief (an innumerable fraction of a moment), and the desired measure (icha) is...
