samkhajjā ca manussesu khinamshā sahassasa niyama/ sesäsa khinamshā gadisu niyamā asamkhajjaāl/114/1
Translation: Among the human (male) beings the annihilator serene visioned are numerable-thousand as per rule. In the remaining life-courses they are innumerable as per rule.
vassa sada sahassa samkhāe sadsasahassesu asamkheijesu
hundred thousand numerable years innumerable hundred thousand
V. 131, p. 760 V. 131, p. 760 V. 131, p. 760 V. 131, p. 760
Note: The verse gives the life-time of bonds here:
vassa sada sahassāim tthidisaṁkhāe du mohaniyam tu/ bandhadi ca sadasahassesu asamkhejjesu sesaņi//131/1
Translation: In the inter-state of two instant-effect, (the bios) binds the charmkarma as present transition-proestablisher for life-time of innumerablethousand years, and the remaining karmas are bound for life-times of innumerable-hundred -thousand years.
Note 2: The calculation is further carried on to infinity -- a proper infinite, as if of G. Cantor, detailed further in LDS.
bārasa ņava cha tinni ya kittio homti adha va anamtão/ ekkekkamhikasāu tige tige adhavā anamāol/V. 163, p. 806//
Translation: The tracks of fluorescent anger, etc. affections are twelve, nine, six and three or infinite. In every one of the affections there are three krști (tracts) respectively or there happen to be infinite tracts.
There is one more word gaņānadiyamteņa meaning beyond numeration or meaning innumerable (V. 224, p. 885).Up to this time of Gunadharācārya the verses were pronunciated and then their meanings were lectured (KPS, p.4). Professor A. Cakravarty has placed Kundakundācārya, author of Parikarma, a commentary on the first three sections of the Satkhandāgamā, and it appears, according to the veneration he attained just after Guatma Gandhara, as early as the 1st century B.C. E. By the time of ācārya Bhūtabali, we find in literature, Matābandha, the symbol for zero has been used for fitting up gaps in writing of detailed karma-bond theory (prior to Kundakundācārya) throughout the work. (vide MBD p. 41 et seq.). For example,
navari şiddā-pacalā ogham/ thiņagiddnio nucca 0 anamtanu () jahao amto 01
