In the six-fold division of existence, how many are the *bādar* *jīva*s?
[1, 2, 91
They are innumerable. 90]
How many are the *bādar* *tejaskāya* *paryāpta* *jīva*s in terms of the amount of their substance? They are innumerable. This innumerable amount is like the square of innumerable *āvali*s, which is contained within the cube of an *āvali*. 91]
How many are the *bādar* *vāyukāya* *paryāpta* *jīva*s in terms of the amount of their substance? They are innumerable. 92]
In terms of time, innumerable *bādar* *vāyukāya* *paryāpta* *jīva*s are carried away by innumerable *avasarpini*s and *utsarpini*s. 93]
In terms of space, the innumerable *bādar* *vāyukāya* *paryāpta* *jīva*s are a countable fraction of the *loka*. 94]
The meaning is that when the *loka* is divided by a countable number, the substance of the *bādar* *vāyukāya* *paryāpta* *jīva*s is obtained.
How many are the *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *nigoda* *jīva*s, *bādar* *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *sūkṣma* *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *bādar* *paryāpta* *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *bādar* *aparyāpta* *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *sūkṣma* *paryāpta* *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *sūkṣma* *aparyāpta* *vanaspatikāya* *jīva*s, *nigoda* *bādar* *jīva*s, *nigoda* *sūkṣma* *jīva*s, *nigoda* *bādar* *paryāpta* *jīva*s, *nigoda* *bādar* *aparyāpta* *jīva*s, *nigoda* *sūkṣma* *paryāpta* *jīva*s, and *nigoda* *sūkṣma* *aparyāpta* *jīva*s, in terms of the amount of their substance? They are infinite. 95]
In terms of time, the aforementioned fourteen categories of *jīva*s are not carried away by infinite *avasarpini*s and *utsarpini*s. 96]
In terms of space, the aforementioned fourteen categories of *jīva*s are infinite *loka*s. 97]
How many are the *trasakāya* and *trasakāya* *paryāpta* *jīva*s with *mithyādṛṣṭi* in terms of the amount of their substance? They are innumerable.
