## Chapter 26
The **Shataka** is infinite. Just as there are some **Samasloka** atoms in a **Kapi** (a type of space), they are called the **first Vargana**. The **Skandhas** formed by the combination of two **Pradeshas** are called the **second Vargana**, and the **Skandhas** formed by the combination of three **Pradeshas** are called the **third Vargana**. In the same way, the **Skandhas** with a countable number of **Pradeshas** are called **Sankhyatana Vargana**, the **Skandhas** with an uncountable number of **Pradeshas** are called **Asankhyatana Vargana**, the **Skandhas** with an infinite number of **Pradeshas** are called **Anantana Vargana**, and the **Skandhas** with an infinite number of infinite **Pradeshas** are called **Anantanantana Vargana**.
These **Varganas** are of two types: **Agrahanayoga** (ungraspable) and **Grahanayoga** (graspable). The **Varganas** that are not grasped by the **Jiva** due to their small number of atoms are called **Agrahanavargana**. The **Skandhas** made up of atoms equal to the **Abhyabhy** **Jivas** multiplied by infinity and the **Skandhas** made up of atoms equal to the **Sidha** **Jivas** divided by infinity are graspable by the **Jiva** and they result in the **Audarik** body. Therefore, they are called **Audarik Vargana**. However, this **Vargana** is the most insignificant among the graspable **Varganas** of the **Audarik** body. Above it, the **Skandhas** with one more atom are called the first, second, third, etc., infinite **Varganas** that are graspable by the **Audarik** body. Thus, the graspable **Varganas** of the **Audarik** body are infinite from the most insignificant **Vargana**.
If it is understood through **Dhyana** (meditation), then its understanding will be according to the **Loka** (world). Where **Vargana** and **Skandha** are used synonymously, there is no objection regarding understanding. But where the group of **Skandhas** of the same type is called **Vargana**, if the understanding is taken as **Skandha**, then it becomes uniform. Therefore, according to the commentary on the **Karmagrantha**, the understanding should be taken as **Skandha** but not as **Vargana**.
