Padarthanupurvika-nama-prakarana
[715]
1. The anupurvika (successive) nama-karma (name-determining karma) is of four types: naraka-gati-prayogya-anupurvika (hell-gati-prayogya-anupurvika), tiryañca-gati-prayogya-anupurvika (animal-gati-prayogya-anupurvika), manushya-gati-prayogya-anupurvika (human-gati-prayogya-anupurvika), and deva-gati-prayogya-anupurvika (celestial-gati-prayogya-anupurvika). [131]
2. How many prakriti (intrinsic nature/dispositions) are there of the naraka-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma? [132] The prakriti of the naraka-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma are as many as the infinite divisional parts of an angula (finger-breadth) in the form of transverse layers, multiplied by the infinite divisional modes of avagahana (immersion).
3. How many prakriti are there of the tiryañca-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma? [134] The prakriti of the tiryañca-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma are as many as the infinite divisional parts of the loka (universe) in the form of layers, multiplied by the modes of avagahana.
4. How many prakriti are there of the manushya-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma? [136] The prakriti of the manushya-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma are as many as the forty-five thousand transverse layers produced by the cutting of the upper cavity, multiplied by the infinite divisional modes of avagahana.
5. How many prakriti are there of the deva-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma? [138] The prakriti of the deva-gati-prayogya-anupurvika nama-karma are as many as the nine hundred transverse layers, multiplied by the infinite divisional modes of avagahana.
6. Here, the discussion is about the alpa-bahutva (less-more) [140].
