## Appendix-3
Not every Palyopama, its divisions and subtle differences have been explained. In brief, the description of Palyopama is as follows:
There are three types of Palya: Vyavahar Palya, Uddhar Palya and Adha Palya. All three names are meaningful. The first Palya is called Vyavahar Palya because it is the basis of the behavior of Uddhar and Adha Palya. In other words, the only use of Vyavahar Palya is that it forms the basis of Uddhar Palya and Adha Palya. Nothing is measured by it.
Naramya is known by the number of sixteen, therefore it is called Uddhar Palya. And Adha Palya is known by the lifespan of beings, therefore it is called Adha Palya.
The proof of these three Palya is as follows:
Create three pits, each one Yojana long, one Yojana wide and one Yojana deep, using a Pramanangula. From one day to seven days, cut the front parts of the hairs of a sheep and make them so small that they cannot be cut by a comb. The first Palya should be filled tightly with these hair fragments. This Palya is called Vyavahar Palya.
From that Vyavahar Palya, one hair fragment should be removed every hundred years. The time it takes for this Palya to become empty is called Vyavahar Palyopama.
By imagining one hair fragment of Vyavahar Palya, create as many fragments as there are years in an innumerable koti (a very large number). Fill the second Palya with all these hair fragments. This is called Uddhar Palya.
From that Uddhar Palya, one fragment should be removed every moment. The time it takes for this Palya to become empty is called Uddhar Palyopama Kala. Ten Koti Koti Uddhar Palyopama makes one Uddhar Sagaropama. There should be as many islands and oceans as there are hair fragments in one Uddhar Sagaropama.
From the hair fragments of Uddhar Palya, imagine as many hair fragments as there are years in a hundred years, and fill the third Palya with them. This is called Adha Palya. From this, one hair fragment should be removed every moment.
