The resulting quotient being subtracted from the preceding quotient the balance called "many parts" is the number of those in transmigration with one, two or three turns. This number should again be divided by an innumerable part of a Palya, the quotient being subtracted from the number, the remaining “many parts" balance is the number of those in death-bed overflow. This number being divided by an innumerable part of a palya, the quotient is
