## Gommatasara Karmakanda-223
The proof obtained by adding the Trikona Yantra remains the same for the eternal existence of the soul. Now, the method of adding is as follows:
In the extreme loss of merit of the Trikona Yantra, there are 9 extreme Niṣeka. Below them are two double-extreme Niṣeka (9, 10). Similarly, there are three triple-extreme Niṣeka (9, 10, 11). In this way, with an increase of one each, there are Niṣeka with loss of merit bound by various time-bound beings in the first Niṣeka (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16). Here, to add, all should be made equal to the extreme Niṣeka 9. For this, separate the last loss of merit in the lower Niṣeka and place it next to its corresponding Mala Vik number.
Therefore, write the last Niṣeka 9 of the last loss of merit and then write a row of 9 with one more multiplier each. Write zero at the end of the second row. Then write the proof in the form of a collection. Here are the two rows of the last loss of merit:
942
146
947
1415 1421 1428
948
Here, 941-9 is the first addition, and combining 94218, 141-1, we get 18+1=19, so 9 and 10-19. 943=27, 341-3, combining these two, we get 27+3=30, so the sum of 9+10+11 is 30. In this way, adding, finally, 948-72 and 2841-28, combining these, we get 72+28=100, so the sum of all Niṣeka of the last loss of merit is 100.
In the double-extreme and subsequent loss of merit, the total substance of the extreme and subsequent loss of merit is to know 'Adi', but to know the proof in both rows as double. The two rows of the double-extreme loss of merit are as follows:
