The following text is the Chulika (appendix) ॥ 580 ॥
The Nigodas that arise in the first moment, along with them arise infinite Jivas. At that time, by encompassing infinite-fold ordinary Jivas, one Nigoda becomes, and by encompassing innumerable Loka-sized bodies, one Nigoda (Pulavi) becomes ॥ 581 ॥
In the second moment, Nigodas with infinite-fold less qualities arise ॥ 582 ॥ In the third moment, Nigodas with infinite-fold less qualities arise ॥ 583 ॥ In this way, continuously up to the limit of an Avalika, Nigoda Jivas with infinite-fold less qualities arise ॥ 584 ॥
Then, after one, two or three moments, continuously up to the limit of an Avalika, Nigoda Jivas arise ॥ 585 ॥
Alpabahutvam is of two types - Addha-Alpabahutvam and Jiva-Alpabahutvam ॥ 586 ॥
In Addha-Alpabahutvam, the duration of arising in each moment is the least ॥ 587 ॥ The duration of arising in each continuous moment is infinite-fold more ॥ 588 ॥ The duration of arising in each moment with interval and continuous is distinctly more ॥ 589 ॥
The duration of arising in each sāntara moment is the least of all ॥ 590 ॥
