number that gives ninety-six chhedanaks (a number which whenever consecutively divided ninety six times by two finally gives a whole number, e.g. 1). (Their number) in the state of being maximum is innumerable. (This innumerable is—) in terms of time (is such that) it takes innumerable utsarpini-avasarpını (progressiveregressive cycles of time) to remove them (if stored in a silo). In terms of area if one gross human body is removed in one Samaya the total number is removed in innumerable utsarpiniavasarpını (progressive-regressive cycles of time). (Expressed in vishkambh-suchi or square units) the number is equal to the first square root of (the space-points in a pratar) angul multiplied by the third square root of the same.

(2) (Q.) Bhante ! How many kinds of varkriya shariras (transmutable bodies) the human beings are said to have ?
(Ans.) Gautam ! Their vaikriya sharıras (transmutable bodies) are of two kinds-baddh (bound) and mukta (abandoned) Of these, the baddh varkriya shariras (bound transmutable bodies) are numerable. If one is removed body every Samaya they will get exhausted in numerable time. However this has never been done (in other words it is impractical).
