Chapter on the Classification of Souls in the Sixfold Division of the Universe
[4, 2, 7, 276
The souls in the lowest *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna* are the most *stoka* (deprived). || 276 || The souls in the second *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna* are more *viseṣa* (superior) than them. || 277 || The souls in the third *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna* are more *viseṣa* than them. || 278 || Thus, they are increasingly *viseṣa* up to the middle. || 279 || Beyond that, they are *viseṣa-hīna* (inferior). || 280 || Thus, they are increasingly *viseṣa-hīna* up to the highest *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna*. || 281 || The souls in the lowest *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna* have attained twice the number of *lokas* (worlds) than the souls in the next lowest *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna*. || 282 || Thus, they have attained twice the number of *lokas* up to the middle. || 283 || Beyond that, they have attained twice the number of *lokas* less than the souls in the next lowest *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna*. || 284 || Thus, they have attained twice the number of *lokas* less up to the highest *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna*. || 285 || The number of *lokas* between the *duguṇa-vadḍhi* (double increase) and *hāṇi* (decrease) in the *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna* of a single soul is *asankajjā* (innumerable). || 286 || The number of *lokas* between the *duguṇa-vadḍhi* and *hāṇi* in the *Anubhāga-bandha-adhyavasāna-sthāna* of a group of souls is *asankajjā-dibhāga* (innumerable times innumerable). || 287 ||
