The number arrived at thus should now be squared thrice and to the result add the infinite modes of Keval-jnana (omniscience) and Keval. darshan (omni-perception). This final figure is called Utkrisht Anantanant (maximum infinite-infinite). The discussion of numerous categories and sub-categories of infinite is voluminous according to the authors of Karma Granth. (for more details refer to Anuogadaraim by Acharya Mahaprajna, p. 332-333). (८) भावसंख्या
५२०. से किं तं भावसंखा ?
भावसंखा जे इमे जीवा संखगइनाम-गोत्ताई कम्माइं वेदेति। से तं भावसंखा। से तं संखप्पमाणे। से तं भावप्पमाणे। से तं पमाणे।
॥ पमाणे त्ति पयं सम्मत्तं ॥ ५२०. (प्र.) भावसंख्या (शंख) क्या है ?
(उ.) इस लोक में जो जीव शंखगतिनाम-गोत्र कर्मादिकों का वेदन कर रहे हैं वे भावशंख हैं।
यही भाव संख्या है, यही भावप्रमाण का वर्णन है तथा यहीं प्रमाण सम्बन्धी वक्तव्यता पूर्ण हुई।
॥ प्रमाणपद समाप्त ॥ (8) BHAAVA SAMKHYA/SHANKH
520. (Q.) What is this Bhaava samkhya/ shankh (samkhya/shankh as essence) ? ___ (Ans.) Bhaava samkhyal shankh (samkhyal shankh as essence) are those souls who undergo sufferings caused by naam karma (karma that determines the destinies and body types) and gotra karma (karma responsible for the higher or lower status of a being) related to a birth as shankh (conch-shell).
This concludes the description of Bhaava samkhyal shankh (samkhya/ shankh as essence). This concludes the description of Bhaava pramana (standard of measurement of state). This also concludes the description of Pramana (standard of measurement).
