THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
It shows that if there are 100000 humans with passions, the proportion will be like this:
:
Humans with greed -31500
deceit = 23400
anger 22590
pride -22510

Total
100000.
Similarly we can get number of sub-humans. The second process of finding out the comparative numbers as given in the gatha is illustrated as follows:
"
Let the instants of an Antara-muhúrta of duration of all the passions be 10000 and the total number of passionate humans be 100000, and the innumerable part of an Ávalí 10.
""
Then divide 10000 instants by 10-1000. Then 10000-1000-9000. This should be divided equally into the four passions, greed, deceit, anger and pride, i. e. 9000÷4-2250. The balance 1000 should again be divided by 10, and we get 100. Then 1000-100-900, should be added to greed. Then it will be = 2250+900=3150.
""
The balance 100 should again be divided by 10. We get 10. 100-10-90. This should be added to deceit, we have then 2250+90-2340.
""
The balance 10 should again be divided by 10. We get 1. 10-1-9. This should be added to anger, we have then 2250+9-2259.
39
The remaining 1 should be added to the pride=2250+1=2251. The instants of 4 passions will be 3150 +2340 +2259 +2251-10000. Now we should find out the number of humans by rule of three. In 10000 instants there are 100000 humans, how many will there be in 3150, 2340,2259,2251, instants.
