The difference between the forces of a unit (Pradesha) of soul which has got minimum force and of another Pradesha which has got the least greater force than that of minimum force is called Avibhága Pratichchheda.
The minimum force in one Fradesha if measured by this Avibhága Pratichchheda will be equal to innumerable times the units of universe. This minimum force is called Varga. The collecti of such Vargas is Varganá. The soul has got Pradeshas of minimum force which amount to innumerable basic area of universe. There fore the same number of Vargas-Vargana. This is called first Varganá.
Collection of those Pradeshas of soul, each of which has got force greater by one Avibhága Pratichchheda than that of the minimum force is second Varganá; but number of Vargas will be less in this Varganá by a common difference or Chaya, which is found by dividing the 1st Varganá by 2 Gunahánis.
In this way the third, etc., Varganás will be greater in force but less in number by a common difference. In this way "innumerable part of basic area of universe" of Varganás make one first Spardhaka.
Now all such Pradeshas or Vargas as have force greater by an Avibhága Pratichchheda than the Pradesha or Varga in the last Varganá of the first Spardhaka will make the first Varganá of second Spardhaka. The number of Vargas will be less by a common difference. The following chart will show the lesser number of Varganás in each Spardhaka and Gunaháni:1st (2nd 3rd 4th 5th Gunaháni. 256 128 64 32
