## Chapter 7: Seven Decades
There are four types of **bhang** (break) due to **kiriti** (fame) and **ayash** (infamy), with two **bhang** for each **sukshma** (subtle) and **sadharan** (ordinary) in relation to **ayash-kiriti**. This makes a total of six **bhang**. When a **badar** (cloud) **vayukayik** (air-bodied) being, who is performing **vaikriya** (transformation) of the body, becomes **paryapt** (sufficient) in **sharira** (body), then the **uday** (emergence) of twenty-five **prakriti** (principles) occurs due to the addition of **paradhat** (secondary) to the twenty-four **prakriti**. This constitutes one **bhang**. Thus, there are a total of seven **bhang** in the **udayasthan** (place of emergence) of twenty-five **prakriti**.
Subsequently, when a being becomes **paryapt** in **pranapan** (inhalation-exhalation), the **udayasthan** of twenty-six **prakriti** occurs due to the addition of **ucchavas** (exhalation) to the aforementioned twenty-five **prakriti**. Here too, there are six **bhang** as before. Alternatively, for a being who becomes **paryapt** in **sharira** but does not experience the **uday** of **ucchavas**, but instead experiences the **uday** of either **atap** (heat) or **udyot** (glow), the **udayasthan** of twenty-six **prakriti** occurs. Here too, there are six **bhang**. These are as follows:
The **uday** of **atap** and **udyot** occurs only in **badar**, not in **sukshma**. Therefore, there are four **bhang** for each **sadharan** and **sukshma** in relation to **yash-kiriti** and **ayash-kiriti** along with **udyot** and **badar**. There are two **bhang** for each **yash-kiriti** and **ayash-kiriti** in relation to **atap** and each **badar**. This makes a total of six **bhang**.
The **uday** of **atap** occurs only in **badar** **prithvikayik** (earth-bodied) beings, but the **uday** of **udyot** occurs in **vanaspatikayik** (plant-bodied) beings as well. When a **badar** **vayukayik** being performs **vaikriya** of the body and becomes **paryapt** in **ucchavas**, the **udayasthan** of twenty-six **prakriti** occurs due to the addition of **ucchavas** to the twenty-five **prakriti**. This constitutes one **bhang**.
It is important to understand that **agnikayik** (fire-bodied) and **vayukayik** beings do not experience the **uday** of **atap**, **udyot**, or **yash-kiriti**. Thus, there are a total of thirteen **bhang** in the **udayasthan** of twenty-six **prakriti**.
