Gommatasara Karmakanda-200 242424242832. When the three-fold guna-hani (117) is divided by the total jiva-dravya, the number of yava-madhya jivas is 128. ||245-246||
**Special Meaning:** Yava is a type of grain that is thick in the middle and gradually decreases in size towards the top and bottom. Similarly, in the yoga-sthana related to the three-fold paryayas, the middle position in the yava-shaped structure has a large number of jivas. This means that there are many jivas residing in the middle position, and the number of jivas gradually decreases in the positions above and below the middle. The jivas residing in those positions also decrease accordingly. This is the yava-shaped structure. In this structure, the number of guna-hani-shalaka above is slightly more than the number of guna-hani-shalaka below.
Here, we first state the number of jivas based on the number of angas:
The number of saparyapta jivas is 1422, the adhyana of the yoga-sthana related to the three-fold paryayas is 32, the number of guna-hani-ayamas is 4, and the total guna-hani is 8. These are called nana-guna-hani. The number of adhastana-guna-hani is 3, and the number of uperitana-guna-hani is 5. Thus, the total number of naga-guna-hani is 8.
By writing the number 2 as many times as the number of nana-guna-hani and multiplying them together, we get the number of anyonya-abhyastara-ashi. The number of adhastana-anyonya-abhyastara-ashi is 8 (2x2x2). Similarly, the number of uperitana-anyonya-abhyastara-ashi is 32 (2x2x2x2x2). When these two anyonya-abhyastara-ashi are added together (32+8), the total number is 40.
Here, when the three-fold guna-hani is divided by the dravya, the number of jivas is the same as the middle of the yava-shaped structure. So, by multiplying the number of guna-hani-ayamas (4) by three, we get 12. The term "kinchit oon" (slightly less) here means that 57 out of 64 parts of one (after subtracting 7 from 64 parts, we get 57). The 64th part of 711 is 713. When this is divided by the total dravya (1422), we get 128. This is the number of jivas in the middle of the yava-shaped structure, because the middle has the most jivas.
From the middle, we need to know the number of jivas in the adhastana and uperitana guna-hani nisekas, based on their respective guna-hani.
To find the number of jivas in each guna-hani, we divide the number of jivas in the first niseka (128) by the number of guna-hani-ayamas in the second guna-hani (2448), which is twice the number of guna-hani-ayamas in the first guna-hani. This gives us 16. Alternatively, we can divide the number of jivas in the last niseka (80) by the number of guna-hani-ayamas in the last guna-hani (5), which is one more than the number of guna-hani-ayamas in the previous guna-hani. This also gives us 16. This is the number of jivas in each guna-hani.
Therefore, we need to know the number of jivas in the adhastana and uperitana guna-hani, as well as the number of jivas in each guna-hani, which is half of the total number of jivas (16, 8, 4, 2, and 1).
