एक-एक द्वीन्द्रिय जीव को निकाला जाये तो आवलिका के असख्यात भाग लगते है। इतने प्रदेश अगुल प्रतर के है। उस प्रतर के जितने प्रदेश है, उतने द्वीन्द्रिय जीवो के बद्ध औदारिकशरीर है। इस प्रकार से बताई गई संख्या में पूर्वोक्त कथन से कोई भेद नहीं है, मात्र कथन-शैली की भिन्नता है।
(2) The details about (five kinds of) bodies of three and foursensed beings should be read just as the details about the (five kinds of) bodies of two-sensed beings.
Elaboration—This aphorism details the bound and abandoned bodies of two to four sensed beings Two sensed beings, being the model, are explained as follows
The baddh audarik shariras (bound gross physical bodies) are innumerable The quantum of this 'innumerable' in terms of time is the total number of Samayas in innumerable utsarpini-avasarpini (progressive-regressive cycles of time). In terms of area they are equal to space-points in innumerable Shrenis in the innumerable fraction of one pratar (see aphorism 356-357). Expressed in vishkambh-suchi (wide rows) the Shrenis are equal to innumerable Kotakoti yojans. This is equal to the sum of square roots of innumerable Shrenis (progressions) A number multiplied by the same number gives the square of that number This number is the square root of the square so obtained. To understand this vishkambh-suchi let us take an example of finite numbers. The total number of space-points in an akash-shreni is innumerable. Let us assume this 'innumerable' to be 65,536. The first square root of this number is 256, the second square root is 16, the third is 4 and the fourth is 2 When we add these square roots (256 + 16 + 4 + 2), we get the figure 278 This is a vishkambh-suchı having 278 spacepoints.
The same number is conveyed in a different way-In terms of time : If two-sensed beings are removed from all the pratars one in one Samaya these could be removed in total number of Samayas of innumerable utsarpini-avasarpini (progressive-regressive cycles of time) In terms of area If all the space-points in an angul pratar are filled with one two-sensed being each and then they are removed one in one innumerable fraction of one avalika, the total number of these units is the number of space-points in a pratar and thus the total number of bound gross physical bodies of two-sensed beings. This is exactly same as the number derived by the first process, the only difference being in way of expressing it
