Thus, the substance of the *guna-hani* (destruction of merit) is doubled for each subsequent *guna-hani*. The *nana-guna-hani* (multiple destruction of merit) is 6, the *anyonyabhyastaras* (reciprocal product) is 24242424241, half of 64 is 32, multiplying the substance of the *guna-hani* of the *sail* (rock) part, 100, by 32, we get 3200, the substance of the first *guna-hani* of the *sarvaghati* (all-destroying) part.
Now, the substance of the *deshaghati* (country-destroying) part is as follows:
The substance of the last *guna-hani* of one part in the infinite parts of the *daru* (wood) part is double the substance of the first *guna-hani* of the *bahubhag* (many parts) of the *daru* part, and the substance is doubled for each subsequent *guna-hani*, reaching the first *guna-hani* of the *lata* (vine) part. The number of times the number 2 is written, one less than the number of *nana-guna-hani*, and multiplied together, is the *anyonyabhyastaras*. Multiplying the substance of the last *guna-hani* of the *sail* part by half of this number, we get the substance of the first *guna-hani* of the *lata* part. Adding these *guna-hani*s, we get the number of atoms related to the *deshaghati*.
Here, in the context of the numbers, dividing the total substance, 3100, by the *anyonyabhyastaras*, 32, minus one (32-1 = 31), we get (3100/31) 100, which is the substance of the last *guna-hani* of the *sail* part. Then, doubling for each subsequent *guna-hani*, we get 200-400-800, one less than the number of *nana-guna-hani*, 4, writing the number 2 that many times (2424242) and multiplying them together, we get 16. This is half of the *anyonyabhyastaras*, 32. Multiplying this by the substance of the last *guna-hani* of the *sail* part, 100, we get (100x16) 1600, which is the substance of the first *guna-hani* of the *lata* part. Similarly, we can find the substance of the *sarvaghati* and *deshaghati* parts in the substances of *darshanavaran* (veil of perception) etc.
This verse explains the method of knowing the measure of the realms of the *karma* (action) natures, which helps us understand which *karma* nature realms are less and which are more. This is stated in the Sanskrit commentary of this text, but the statement of the less and more in relation to the realm-binding is also found in Mahabandha Pu. 7, page 65. According to that, we write here.
There are two types of less and more: 1. *Swasthana* (own place) less and more, 2. *Parasthana* (other place) less and more. *Swasthana* less and more is of two types: *jghanya* (inferior) and *utkrista* (superior). The case of *utkrista* is as follows: There are two types of instructions: *ogh* (flow) and *aadesh* (command). Only the *jnanavaran* (veil of knowledge) is the most *utkrista* (superior) realm-tip by *ogh*, from that, the mind...
