एवं तिसु उवसमगे खवगापुवम्मि दसहि परिहीणं । सव्वं चउपडि किच्चा णभमेकं चारि पण हीणं ॥३८५ ॥ एवं त्रिषु उपशमकेषु क्षपकापूर्वे दशभिः परिहीनम् । सर्व चतुःप्रतिकं कृत्वा नभमेकं चत्वारि पंच हीनम् ॥ ३८५॥
385. Similarly(there are twenty four places and twenty four divisions) in the (other) three (stages of) subsidential (ladder). For the new-thought-activity of destructive ladder, make four rows. (The first row having one place) with all (148 sub-classes) minus ten (viz. three ages, except the current one, and four error-feeding passions and three deluding Karmas), Deduct (from each) zero, one(viz., Tírthankara), four (viz. the four assimilative), and five (viz. Tírthankara and the four assimilative for places in the four rows). 138
