(multiplied) by unit of bondage represent the molecules which remain bound to the soul.
Commentary.
Note
Gunaháni (G) is the number of terms of a series, the sum of which is the number of molecules of a unit of Bondage, (M. U. B.) and each term in which is half of the term immediately preceding it.
Gunaháni-á-yáma, (G. A.) is the number of instants (Samayas) in one Gunaháni.
aayuga náná gunahánis is the group of gunahánis in one Unit of Bondage.
Anyonyá-bhyasta-ráshi-2 raised to the power of
the number of gunahánis in one Unit of Bondage. Duration of Bondage (S). Thus gunaháni-áyáma number of gunahánis.
E.g. If 48 samayas is the duration of Units of Bondage, and 6 is the number of gunahánis, then gunaháni-áyáma-48-8.
Here náná-gunaháni-the group of 6 gunahánis.
Anyonyá bhyastaráshi here-26-64. This minus one, being the divisor of the number of a Unit of Bondage gives us the last term of the series.
E.g. If a Unit of Bondage have 6300 molecules, then the last
6300
term is 64-1
-100.
Thus the series of 6 gunahánis here is.
3200+ 1600 + 800+ 400+200+ 100-6300.
In the example given above, the soul which binds in one instant 6300 molecules, of a duration of 48 samayas and of 6 gunahánis, will shed 3200 molecules in the 1st 8 samayas.

A Nishekahára (N-2 G.A.)is always double the number of gunaháni áyáma. Thus in the above example nishekahára is double of 8--16.

Chaya (C) is the regular arithmetic difference between any consecutive two of the terms of the series of a gunaháni. Chaya is the molecules of a gunaháni divided by
nishekahára + No. of gunaháni áyáma + 1x gunaháni áyáma.
