INTRODUCTION

1: All numbers beyond jaghanya-ananta-ananta come under the class known as madhyama-ananta-ananta; for, according to the canonical works there is nothing like utkrsta-ananta-ananta.
The Karma-granthas agree up to the definition of jaghanya. yukta-asankhyāta. Thereafter they differ as under:
Jaghanya-yukta-asankhyāta multiplied by itself and then diminished by unity gives utkrsta-yukta-asankhyāta. The addition of one to this number gives jaghanya-asankhyāta-asaikhyāta.
Find out the square of this jaghanya-asankhya-asankhyāta, then its square and again its square.' Add to this number to particulara asankhyātas. This resulting number is to be squared and then this process is to be repeated twice. The result thus arrived at, is jaghanya-paritta-ananta. This number diminished by unity is utkşsta-asankhyāta-asankhyāta.
The abhyāsa of jaghanya-paritta-ananta is equal to jaghanyayukta-ananta. This number which corresponds to the number of the abhavyas, when diminished by unity equals utkrstaparitta-ananta.
The square of jaghanya-yukta-ananta comes to jaghanyaananta-ananta. This number diminished by one is utkrstayukta-ananta.
Find out the square of the jaghanya-ananta-ananta, then find out its square and then find out the square of this resulting number. Add to this number finally obtained, six particular anantas. The number thus got is to be squared. This resulting number is also to be squared. Repeat this process once more. Then the number arrived at, gives us utkrsta. ananta-ananta, when the ananta paryayas of kevala-jñāna and those of kevala-dars'ana are added to it.
1 This is in short, the eighth power of jaghanya-asankhyāta-asankhyāta.
2 They are: (i-iv) The prades'as of (a) lokākās'a, (b) of dharmästikaya, (c) of adharmästikāya, and (d) of a soul, (v-vi) adhyavasāyasthänas of sthitibandha and anubhāga, (vii) indivisible parts of mental, vocal and physical yogas, (viii) the samayas of kalacakra, (ix) pratyeka jīvas and (x) the bodies of the anantakāyas. Here, everywhere 'number' is understood.
3 They are:-(i) the number of the vanaspatikāyas, (ii) the number of the nigodas, (iii) the number of the liberated, (iv) the number of the paramānus, (v) the number of the samayas of the time (past, present and futuro) and (vi) the number of the prades'as of alokäkäs'a.
