The Gommatasara Karmakanda-186 explains the meaning of the verses starting with "A विभागपडिच्छेदो" - It states that there are these distinctions: A विभागप्रतिच्छेद, वर्ग, वर्गणा, स्पर्धक, गुणहानि, नानागुणहानि and स्थान. Here, a group of गुणहानि occurring in one jiva at one time is called नानागुणहानि, and a group of नानागुणहानि is called स्थान. Similarly, a group of स्पर्धक is called गुणहानि, a group of वर्गणा in increasing order of वृद्धिहानि is called स्पर्धक, a group of वर्ग is called वर्गणा, and a group of A विभागप्रतिच्छेदी is called वर्ग. In the jiva प्रदेश, the power to receive a group of कर्मप्रदेश is called A विभागप्रतिच्छेद. Here, योग has the right, so the power in the form of योग is taken.
The प्रदेश of the jiva are लोकप्रमाण. By establishing them, from all these प्रदेश, the प्रदेश in which the lowest power of योग is found should be separated. Then, the amount of योगशक्ति in that प्रदेश should be spread out with your intellect. Then, take another प्रदेश where the power is greater than the lowest power but less than other powers, and spread out the amount of योगशक्ति in that प्रदेश on top of the previously spread out lowest power. The amount of increase in the power established on top of the lowest power is called the A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद of योग. This means that from the प्रदेश with the lowest power, the amount of increase in power from the lowest power to the other प्रदेश with one A विभाग अंश more power is called the A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद of योग. When this A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद प्रमाण of the previously spread out प्रदेश is divided, countless लोकप्रमाण खण्ड are formed. Therefore, a group of countless लोकप्रमाण A विभाग प्रतिच्छेद is called वर्ग.
The संदृष्टि of वर्ग is the letter 'ब'. After that, write down the number of प्रदेश with the lowest power प्रमाण. Thus, the number of प्रदेश of the jiva with the lowest power प्रमाण is countless जगत्प्रतर प्रमाण. For example, when the लोकप्रमाण जीवप्रदेश are divided by डेढगुणहानि, the result is the number of प्रदेश with the lowest power प्रमाण. In this way, the प्रमाण of वर्गणा in one गुणहानि is multiplied by डेढ़, and the प्रमाण of डेढ़गुणहानि is obtained. This is only a fraction of the असंख्यातवेंभाग of the जगत्श्रेणी. When this is divided into the जीवप्रदेश (लोक = जगत्श्रेणी जगत्श्रेणी जगत्श्रेणी + अमात = असंख्यात श्रेणीxश्रेणी), the प्रमाण of countless जगत्प्रतरप्रमाण जीवप्रदेश is obtained. This group of प्रदेश is called the first वर्गणा. The power related to one प्रदेश was called वर्ग. Here, a group of countless जगत्प्रतरप्रमाण आत्मप्रदेश is called वर्गणा. Therefore, there are countless जगत्प्रमाण वर्ग in one वर्गणा.
The number of A विभागप्रतिच्छेद in the वर्ग with the lowest power प्रमाण is one more than the number of A विभागप्रतिच्छेद in the jiva प्रदेश with the power that has that many A विभागप्रतिच्छेद.
