[2, 6, 111] The number of souls with perfect knowledge, imperfect knowledge, and those who are about to attain perfect knowledge is countless, and they reside in countless parts of the universe, or in many parts, or in all parts of the universe. || 111 ||
How many realms do the souls with perfect knowledge, perfect knowledge of cessation, and perfect knowledge of the path reside in, in terms of their own nature, their state of liberation, and their state of attainment? || 112 || They reside in countless parts of the universe. || 113 ||

How many realms do the souls with knowledge reside in, in terms of their own nature, their state of liberation, and their state of attainment, according to the doctrine of knowledge? || 117 || They reside in countless parts of the universe, in terms of these three aspects. || 118 ||

How many realms do the souls who take nourishment reside in, in terms of their own nature, their state of liberation, and their state of attainment, according to the doctrine of nourishment? || 121 || They reside in all parts of the universe, in terms of these three aspects. || 122 ||
