This shows that greed i.e., a desire for long and many enjoy. ments is common among the celestials; and anger is very rare. Similarly, it would be found that anger is most common and greed the rarest of their passions, among hellish beings.
णतिरिय लोहमायाकोहो माणो बिइंदियादिव्व । श्रावलि असंखभजा सगकालं वा समासेज ॥ २६८॥ नरतिरश्चोः लोभमायाक्रोधो मानो द्वीन्द्रियादिवत् । प्रावल्यसंख्यभाज्या: स्वककालं वा समासाद्य ॥ २९८॥
298. (The number of) humans and sub-humans with greed, deceit, anger and pride (is found by treating their total number minus the numbers of passionless) ; like 2 sensed etc., beings (in Gatha 179), by dividing by an innumerable part of a wink (Ávalí). Or (it) may be got from the instants of their duration.
Commentary, Let us illustrate how to find out the comparative number of humans affected by each passion at one instant. Let the number of total humans be
100500 y passion-less humans be ... 500 Then the number of humans with passion is ... 100000 • Let the innumerable part of an ávalí be 10. Divide 100000 by 10=10000. And 100000 - 10000=90000.
Divide 90000 equally into 4 parts, and let the quotient, 22,500, be allotted to greed, deceit, anger and pride, each. Now divide the remaining one part, 10000, again by 10, the innumerable part of an Ávali. We get 1000.
10000 -1000-9000. This should be added to the above allotment. And we find the number of humans with greed = 22500 + 9001 = 31500.
Again divide the balance 1000, by 10. We get 100.
Then 1000-100 - 900. This should be added to the second class. Then humans with deceit would be 22500 + 900=23400.
Again divide 100 by 10 - 10. 100-10=90 should be added to third class. Then humans with anger will be 22500+ 90-22590.
The balance 10 should be added to 4th class, then humans with ride will be 22500+10=22510.
