THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
Note. Every part is less in number than the upper one, and each is equal to innumerablex universe, because the innumerable is of varying values. The divisor is not to be taken to be the same. We have merely by way of illustration taken it as 9, and 1.
पुह पुह कलायकालो णिरये अंतोमुत्तपरिमाणो। लोहादी संखगुणो देवेसु य कोहपहुदीदो ॥ २६६ ॥ पृथक पृथक कषायकालो निरये अन्तर्मुहूर्तपरिमाणः । लोभादिः संख्यगुणो देवेषु च क्रोधप्रभृतितः ॥ २६६ ॥
296. In hell the duration of passions, greed etc, (i.e. greed, deceit, pride and anger) is for each, one antar
muhurta, (and the total of the four also is one antar. muhúrta), (and each is) numerable times (of the preceding one). In celestial beings (the duration) of anger etc. (i.e., of anger, pride, deceit and greed, is one antar-muhúrta severally, and collectively, and is also numerable-fold of the preceding one, successively.)
सव्वसमासेणवहिदसगसगरासी पुरणावि संगुणिदे। सगसगगुणगारेहि य सगसगरासीमा परिमाणं ॥ २७॥ सर्वसमासेनावहितस्वकस्वकराशौ पुनरपि संगुणिते । स्वकस्वकगुणकारैश्च स्वकस्वकराशीनां परिमाणम् ॥ २६७॥
297. The total of each (celestial or hellish class) divided by the total of all (the instants in the 4 passions) multiplied by the number of its own instants (gives the number of its own class).
Commentary. Let 1700 be the total of celestial beings, and the number of instants for the duration of their anger, pride, deceit and greed be 4, 16, 64 and 256 ; and let 4 be the Sankhyata.
Then 17003 (4+ 16 + 64+256)31700340 - 5,
Now, 5 multiplied by 4 is equal to 20, the celestial beings with anger; 80 with Pride; 320 with deceit; and 1280 for greed.
