(They are) innumerable in the state of being maximum (in number). (Here, innumerable means if stocked in a store and taken out one at each instant) they are taken out in a (period of) time which is (spread over) innumerable ussappiņis and osappinis. In respect of space, the (length of a) seḍhi is (equal to the space) occupied by the gross human bodies thrown (in that space), for a (period of) time spreading over innumerable ussappiņis and osappinis; in respect of space, the first square root of (the number of spacepoints occupied by) one (payara)amgula, multiplied by the third square root (of the same).
What are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the gross bodies in general. 423 [2]. Of how many kinds, O bodies of the human beings stated to be? to be twofold, viz.
Lord, are the transformationThey are, Goyama, stated
(1) bound with the souls; and (2) abandoned by the souls.
Of them, what are bound with the souls are numerable, (which) taken out one at one time-instant are exhausted in numerable time, though (in fact, they) cannot be taken out.
What are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the general gross bodies (abandoned by the souls).
423 [3]. Of how many kinds, O Lord, are the translocationbodies of human beings stated to be? They are, Goyama, stated to be twofold, viz.
(1) bound with the souls; and (2) abandoned by the souls.
Of them, what are bound with the souls may exist and may not exist. If they exist, there are one or two or three in the minimum and 'several' thousand in the maximum.
What are abandoned by the souls are to be spoken of just as in the case of the gross bodies in general.
