In the **Chhavkhandagama**, the **Khuddabandho** states:
[2, 5, 152]
How many are there according to the **dravya** (substance) measure of **Shuklesh**? || 152 ||
They are as many as the parts of a **palyopam** (a measure of time) multiplied by an **asankhyeya** (innumerable) number. || 153 ||
By them, the **palyopam** is exhausted within an **antarmuhurta** (a measure of time). || 154 ||
How many are there according to the **dravya** measure of **bhavya** (blessed) **siddhi** (liberation) as per the **bhaviyanuvada** (the doctrine of the blessed)? || 155 ||
They are **ananta** (infinite). || 156 ||
They are not exhausted by the **avasarpini** (descending) and **utsaarpini** (ascending) **kalas** (times) in relation to **bhavya** **siddhi**. || 157 ||
In the **khetra** (field) of **bhavya** **siddhi**, there are **ananta** **ananta** (infinitely infinite) **logas** (beings). || 158 ||
How many are there according to the **dravya** measure of **abhavya** (unblessed) **siddhi**? || 159 ||
They are **ananta** (infinite). || 160 ||
According to the **sammattanuvada** (the doctrine of the right), how many are there according to the **dravya** measure of **samyagdristi** (right faith), **kshayikasamyagdristi** (right faith that destroys karma), **vedakasamyagdristi** (right faith that knows), **upashamasamyagdristi** (right faith that pacifies), **sasadanasamyagdristi** (right faith that enjoys), and **samyagmithyadristi** (right faith that is mistaken)? || 161 ||
In each of the above categories of beings, there are as many as the parts of a **palyopam** multiplied by an **asankhyeya** number. || 162 ||
By them, the **palyopam** is exhausted within an **antarmuhurta**. || 163 ||
The **dravya** measure of **mithyadristi** (wrong faith) is equal to that of **asanjadbhangas** (uncontrolled beings). || 164 ||
According to the **sanniyanuvada** (the doctrine of the conscious), how many are there according to the **dravya** measure of **sanni** (conscious) beings? || 165 ||
They are slightly more than the **devas** (gods) in terms of **dravya** measure. || 166 ||
