## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 215
The second alternative is obtained. The meaning of "mukha" is the body, its form is the institution, this should be accepted here. There is also a verse on this subject -
*Mukhamardha sharirasy sarva va mukhamuchyate.
Tatraapi nasika shreshtha, nasikayaasch chakshushi.*
Meaning: Half of the body is called "mukha", or the whole body is called "mukha". Even in that, the nose is superior, and the eyes are superior to the nose.
Thus, again and again, with the "alabdhapurvamukhaakar" (unobtained previous form of the mouth), the nine hundred yojana "bahalyarup" (extensive form) "tiryakpratar" (transmigratory beings) born in the heavens, as many "akashpradesh" (regions of space) as they have, taking that as the basis of the most inferior "avagahana" (immersion), the "devagatiprayogyanupurvi" (sequential progression of heavenly paths) are obtained, with the progressive "prakritivikalp" (variations of nature). Now, even in the most inferior "avagahana", one "pradesh" more, the same number of "prakritivikalp" are obtained.
Thus, from the "sarvajghanayavagahana" (most inferior immersion) with two "pradesh" more, it should be taken to the "utkrishtmahamatsya" (most excellent great fish) "avagahana". Now, if nine hundred yojana "bahalyarup" "tiryakpratar" "devagatiprayogyanupurvi" "vikalp" are obtained for one "avagahana" alternative, then how many "devagatiprayogyanupurvi" "vikalp" will be obtained for "sankhyatghanagul" (a measure of volume) "avagahana" alternatives? Thus, by multiplying the "tiryakpratar" of nine hundred yojana "bahalyarup" by all the "avagahana" alternatives, the "sarvuttarottar" (all progressive) "prakritivikalp" of the "prakriti" called "devagatiprayogyanupurvi" are obtained.
By combining these progressive divisions of "anupurvi" with the progressive divisions of the aforementioned "jnanavaran" (veil of knowledge), the "prakritisangrah" (collection of natures) is obtained. The progressive divisions of the remaining "prakriti" are not taught. This "prakritisangrah" is done according to the composition. Those who have heard much should purify it.
*Tehin asankhejaguna, thidi avsesa havanti payadinam.
Thidibandhajzhavasaanatthana tatto asankhaguna.* (259)
Meaning: From those "prakritivikalp", the divisions of "sthitibandha" (state of bondage) are "asankhyatguna" (infinitely numerous), and from the divisions of "sthiti" (state), the "sthitibandhaadhyavasayasthan" (place of determination of the state of bondage) are "asankhyatguna". (The results that cause "sthitibandha" are called "sthitibandhaadhyavasaya".)
Special Meaning: The divisions of "sthiti" of each "prakriti", by subtracting the inferior "sthiti" from the superior "sthiti", dividing it by one "samaya" (time), and adding one, the "sthiti" increases by one "samaya" from the inferior "sthiti" ...
