## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 183
In the lowest stage of competition, where there is a competition for the position of the teacher, the number of competitors increases by a factor of two for every stage, reaching an uncountable fraction of the Jagatsreni. This doubling continues until the highest stage is reached.
One stage is equal to an uncountable fraction of the Jagatsreni, and the number of stages with doubling is equal to an uncountable fraction of the Palya. Therefore, the number of stages with doubling is small, and the number of stages with single doubling is uncountable times greater.
**Verse 225:**
**Meaning:** The number of Varganas in each competitor is equal to an uncountable fraction of the Jagatsreni, and in each Vargana, there are uncountable Jagatpratar-sized squares.
**Explanation:** A Vargana is formed when all the living beings in a particular region are taken together, regardless of their divisions. There are uncountable such Varganas in a single competitor, each equal to an uncountable fraction of the Jagatsreni. Multiplying the Jagatsreni by itself, like 7 Raju x 7 Raju = 49 Varga Raju, is called Jagatpratar. If there are uncountable Jagatpratar-sized squares in one Vargana, how many squares would there be in a Vargana that is an uncountable fraction of the Jagatsreni? (Squares in a Vargana) Uncountable Jagatpratar - श्रेणी / Uncountable (number of Varganas) = Lokapurna, meaning all living beings. Alternatively, if there are Lokapurna living beings in an uncountable fraction of the Jagatsreni, how many living beings would there be in one Vargana? By this method, the desired result is obtained by multiplying the fruit by the measure and dividing by the divisor, resulting in an uncountable number of living beings in each Vargana.
**Verse 226:**
**Meaning:** In each square, there are uncountable Lokapurna A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद (A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद), and the measure of A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद is understood as the lowest increase in power in the regions.
**Explanation:** In each living being, there are uncountable Lokapurna योगा विभाग प्रतिच्छेद (Yoga A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद). A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद refers to a part of power that cannot be further divided. Here, the order is reversed: 1. Mahabandha Pu. 6, page 7, 8; 2. Dh. Pu. 50, page 443; 3. Mahabandha Pu. 6, page 6; 4. Gh. Pu. 10, page 440, Sutra 178; 5. Many Acharyas say this, but it does not happen, because if it were accepted, then the A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद of Karma would be infinite, which is not the case. The measure of Yoga A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद is uncountable Lokapurna, as stated in the previous verse. (Dh. Pu. 10, page 441)
