दव्वतियं हेवरिमदलवारा दुगुणमुभयमणोणं । जीवजवे चोदससयबावीसं होदि बत्तीसं ॥ २४५ ॥ द्रव्यत्रयमधउपरिमदलवारा द्विगुणमुभयमन्योन्यम् । जीवयवे चतुर्दशशतद्वाविंशतिः भवति द्वात्रिंशत् ॥ २४५ ॥ चत्तारि तिषिण कमसो पण अड अहं तदो य बत्तीसं । किंचणतिगुणहाणिविभजिद दव्वे दु जब ममं ॥ २४६ ॥
चत्वारि त्रीणि क्रमशः पञ्च अष्ट अष्ट ततश्च द्वात्रिंशत् । किञ्चिदूनत्रिगुणहानिविभाजिते द्रव्ये तु यवमध्यम् ॥२४६॥
