वितिचपमाणमसंखेणवहिदपदरंगुलण हिदपदरं । हीणकम पडिभागो आबलियासंखभागो दु ॥ १७८ ॥ द्वित्रिचतुःप्रमाणमसंख्येनावाहितप्रतराङ्गुलेन हतप्रतरम् । हीनक्रमं प्रतिभाग श्रावलिकासंख्यभाशस्तु ॥ १७८ ॥
178. If we divide a square finger breadth (Pratarángula) by an innumerable number, and then divide by this quotient the square of the universal line (Jagata pratara) we obtain the total number of the 2, 3, 4 and 5 sensed (souls). The number (of the two to five sensed beings) is in a decreasing order, and the common divisor is an innymerable part of a wink (Ávali).
बहुभागे समभागो चउपहमेदेसिमकभागाम्ह। । उत्तकमो तथ्थाबि बहुभागो बहुगल्स देओ दु ॥ १७६ ॥ बहुभागे सम भागश्चतुर्णाभेतेषामेक भागे । उक्तक्रमस्तत्रापि बहुभागो बहुकस्य देवस्तु ॥ १७ ॥
179. (Divide the total number of the mobiles by an innumerable part of an Ávalí. From total subtract the quotient, the balance is Bahubhága. (Divide the Bahubhága equally into these four 2, 3, 4 and 5 sensed). (The remaining) one part (i. e. The quotient) is to be treated in the above way. (Divided by an innumerable part of an Avali, from it, subtract the quotient. That will give its Bahubhága) here also give this Bahubhága (greater part) to the most numerous class and so on.
Commentary. Suppose the total of mohiles is 26,244 and an innumerable part of Avali is9 then 26244-9-2916.26244-2916-23328, this is the greater part or Bahubhága. This divided into the 4 classes gives each of them 5832.
__Now treat 2916 in the same way. 2916 : 9 - 324. 2916-324 - 2592. this is the 2nd Bahubhága, give this to the most numerous class i. e. the 2 sensed beings. Thus the total of 2 sensed beings is 5832+2592-8424. The last quotient is 324. 324-9-36. 324-36-288. this is the next Bahubhága, give it to the next most numerous class.
