This discusses the concept of *guna-hani* (loss of merit). It states that *guna-hani* is halved with each successive stage. For example, (64 | 32/16). The sutra "Antadhanam gunaguniyam adivihinam" (multiply the final amount by 2 and subtract the initial amount) is used to calculate the total *guna-hani*.
In this case, the final amount (64, representing the negative amount in the first *guna-hani*) is multiplied by 2, resulting in 64 x 2 = 128. Subtracting the initial amount (16, representing the negative amount in the last *guna-hani*) gives 128 - 16 = 112. This is the total negative amount in the *guna-hani*.
Alternatively, to calculate the total negative amount, multiply the *guna-hani* dimension (4) by the difference (4) in the last *guna-hani*. This gives 4 x 4 = 16. Subtracting this from the middle amount (128) results in 128 - 16 = 112, which is the total negative amount.
The total amount of the first *guna-hani* is 64 + 32 + 16 = 112.
To calculate the total amount of both lower and upper *guna-hani*, the sutra "Antadhanam gunaguniyam" is used. This involves multiplying the final amount (128) by three times the *guna-hani* dimension (13) plus one, and then dividing by the *guna-hani* dimension. This gives (128 x 13) / 4 = 416. Multiplying this by 2 gives 64 x 13 = 832. Subtracting the initial amount (104, calculated by dividing the first *guna-hani* amount by twice the number of *guna-hani* stages minus one) gives 832 - 104 = 728. This is the total amount of the upper *guna-hani*.
Similarly, the total amount of the upper *guna-hani* is calculated by multiplying the final amount (128) by 13, giving 128 x 13 = 416. Multiplying this by 2 gives 832. Subtracting the initial amount (26, calculated by dividing the first *guna-hani* amount by twice the number of *guna-hani* stages minus one) gives 832 - 26 = 806.
Adding the total amounts of the upper and lower *guna-hani* gives 728 + 806 = 1534. Subtracting the total negative amount (112) from this gives 1534 - 112 = 1422, which is the net amount.
In each *guna-hani* stage, the difference represents the amount subtracted, the number of beings in the corresponding stage, and the total amount of the *guna-hani*. The difference between the upper and lower *guna-hani* represents the negative amount.
For example, the first upper *guna-hani* is 416 and the first lower *guna-hani* is 352. Adding 64 (the negative amount) to the lower *guna-hani* makes it equal to the upper *guna-hani*. Similarly, adding 32 to the second lower *guna-hani* (176) makes it equal to the second upper *guna-hani* (208). Adding 16 to the third lower *guna-hani* (88) makes it equal to the third upper *guna-hani* (104). Therefore, the total negative amount in the lower *guna-hani* is 64 + 32 + 16 = 112.
