Of these Vyavahar Uddhar and Addha Palyopam and Sagaropam have no practical use Sukshma Uddhar Palyopam and Sagaropam are used to measure the dimensions of continents and oceans Sukshma Addha Palyopam and Sagaropam are used to measure the life-span of beings of four dimensions including divine and infernal ___Ten kodakodi (1014) Palyopam make one Sagaropam In other words the time taken in emptying ten kodakodi (1014) aforesaid palyas (silos) is one Sagaropam
In the elaboration of following aphorisms the commentator (Churni) has defined Balagra from two viewpoints
(1) From material viewpoint-Innumerable fraction of the time taken by a normal healthy person in seeing a material thing is one Balagra
(2) From are a view point—The area occupied by a single being of the minute mildew class is called its avagahana Innumerable times of this is the avagahana of a balagra. One balagra is of the size of the body of a Paryapt Badar Prithvikayık being (fully developed gross earthbodied being) (Churni, p 58)
Knowlege of these definition will make the following discussion easily understandable
३७१. तत्थ णं जे से सुहुमे से टप्पे।
३७१. इन दोनो में सूक्ष्म उद्धारपल्योपम अभी स्थापनीय है। (इसकी व्याख्या आगे सूत्र ३७४ पर की गई है।)
371. Of these two, Sukshma Uddhar Palyopam is to be ensconced for now. (This is discussed in aphorism 374) व्यावहारिक उद्धारपल्योपम
३७२. तत्थ णं जे से वावहारिए से जहानामए पल्ले सिया-जोयणं आयामविक्खंभेणं जोयणं उड्ढं उच्चत्तेणं, तं तिगुणं सविसेसं परिरएणं।
से णं एगाहिय-बेहिय-तेहिय जाव उक्कोसेणं सत्तरत्तपरूढाणं। सम्मट्टे सन्निचिते भरिए वालग्गकोडीणं॥१॥
