1. Multiply 'Deyaráshi' by itself as many times as the Viralana and resulting number should again be multiplied by itself as many times as its number is; such kind of multiplications should be done as many times as the number of the Shaláká Ráshi. The result will give us the 1st step. 2. Take again Shaláká, Viralana, Deya, each equal to the num
found in the 1st step. The multiplication process should be repeated as in the previous step as many times as the number of the new Shaláká. This is the 2nd step.
3. The resulting number should be again dealt with as in the previous case. This would be the 3rd step.
4. This resulting number should again be similarly dealt with as many times as there are numbers in the present fourth shaláká minus the total number of the shaláká in the previous three steps.
Here in the first step, the number of innumerable spatial units of the universe should be taken to be Viralana, Deya, shaláká. The above process will give us the number of fire-bodied souls.
For finding out the number of earth-bodied souls, the number of fire-bodied souls should be divided by innumerable times the universal spatial units, and the quotient added to the number of fire-bodied souls.
For finding out the number of water-bodied souls we should add to the number of earth bodied souls, the quotient obtained by dividing the number of earth bodied by the innumerable universal spatial units. In the same manner the number of air-bodied souls should be ascertained.
अपदिट्ठिदपत्तेया असंखलोगप्पमाणया होति । तत्तो पदिहिदा पुण असंखलोगेण संगुणिदा ॥ २०५॥ अप्रतिष्ठितप्रत्येका असंख्यलोकप्रमाणका भवन्ति । aa: qfargar: ga: Heath Aufwar: 11 80411
205. The number of non-host individual vegetables (Apratisthita Pratyeka) is innumerable times the spatial units of the universe. And the number of host individual vegetables (Sapratishthita Pratyeka) is the innumerable times the spatial units of universe multiplied by that (i. e. the number of non-host individual vegetables.)
