There are 2412 = 24 natural manifestation stations and 5 modes of a single natural manifestation station. Adding these, the total number of modes becomes 26. When these are added to the 8477 substantives, the total number of substantives is obtained. All the transmigratory beings are deluded by them, as it is said:
"The transmigratory beings are deluded by the 1265 modes of natural manifestation and 8477 substantives."
The description of the modes of natural manifestation and substantives should be known with reference to the stages of spiritual development as follows:
