Therefore, there is a doubt that when the Agamas state that the number of Dwindriya Aavi beings is equal, how can the above-mentioned small and large number of Panchendriya and Aani beings decrease? The solution is that there are countless types of countless numbers. Therefore, the term "Asankhyata Kotakoti Yojana-Praman Suvi Shreni" should be taken differently everywhere, not as the same seven numbers. The quantity of Panchendriya Tiryanchas should be considered so small that even when all other Panchendriya beings are added together, the total number of Panchendriya beings is still less than the number of Chaturindriya beings. Ekendriya beings are said to be infinite from Harendriya beings because the beings of the ordinary Vanaspatikaaya are infinite, all of whom are Ekendriya.
All types of Sadhanokrim Lokas are not even equal to one Pratar of the regions, and only Tejas-Kayika beings are equal to the entrances of the Asalyaat Lokakarna. For this reason, the largest and Tejas-Kayika beings are considered to be countless times greater than them. Tejas-Vik, Prithvi-Kayika, Alakayika, and Vayu-Kayika, all of these are generally mentioned in the Agamas as being countless Lokakasha-Pravesh-Praman. However, the countless numbers related to their quantity should be understood differently. Vanaspathikaayika beings are said to be infinitely greater than Vayu-Kayika beings because the beings of Nigoda are infinite Lokakasha-Pradesh Praman, who are Vanaspathikaayika. ||38||
