113 multiply all these 27 4| together and now reduce one out of the Salâkâ number 277. The product of this multiplication should be considered as the next Virlana and Deya. Virlana this virlana into separate units and place on the top of each unit, the Deya thus obtained. Multiply together all these Deya. Then reduce one more from our Salâkâ 27 4. Consider the product of this second multiplication to be the next Virlana and Deya; Virlana it as before and place on the top of each Virlana unit this product and multiply all these Deya together and then again subtract one from our Salâkâ 27 4 ; proceed serially in the same way considering the everard ever-increasing new and new product of each multiplication as Virlana and Deya; and go on virlaning and multiplying together the new everincreasing product of the multiplication, at each step reducing one at a tiire from 27 41, until the whole Salâkâ 27 4 is totally exhausted; thus we reach the end of the two-fold treatment. The result of this second treatment also being treated in the Salâkâ way will give us the third degree Salâkâ treatment of 3, i.e. the huge product of the multiplication at the end of the second Salâkâ treatment should be treated and considered as the new and fresh Salâkâ, Virlana and Deya; and it should be exhausted exactly as above by successive Virlana and Deya, placing Deya on each unit and then multiplying all Deya together and then reducing one from this Salâkâ on each multiplication of all the Deya. This is technically called SalâkâTraya-Nisthậpana. The result of treating J. like this is a kind of K. To this result add the following six :
1. The innumerable spatial units of the substance of motion (Dharma
Dravya). 2. The innumerable spatial units of the substance of rest (Adharma
Dravya). 3. The innumerable spatial units of one soul (Ek Jiva Dravya). 4. The innumerable spatial units of the universe-space (Lokâkâśa). 5. Innumerable x innumerable spatial units of the Universe, i.e. the
number of non-host individual souls (Apratisthita Pratyeka). 6. Innumerable x innumerable spatial units, i.e. the number of host
individual souls (Sapratisthita Pratyeka). Take the total of theses even and treat it to Salâkâ-Traya-Nisthapana as above. The result is again a kind of K. To this add the following four :
1. Instants of one Kalpa or a cycle of Avasarpini and Utsarpinî (the instants of 20 crore X crore sâgaras of years).
2. Innumerable x innumerable spatial units of the Universe, i.e. the number of thought-activities of the soul which determine the duration of bondage of Karmas (Sthiti-bandha Adhyavasáya Sthâna).
3. Innumerable x innumerable spatial units of the Universe, i.e. the number of degrees of passion which determine the intensity, or the mild or strong fruition, of bondage of Karmas (Anubhâgabandha-Adhyavasaya Sthâna).
