32. ANANTKAY : In Samsar, human beings are in the smallest number. The inhabitants of hell are countless times larger than that number. Heavenly beings are countless times larger than that number. Panchendriyas Tiryanch are countless times larger than that number. Vikalendriyas are countless times larger than that number. The Agnikai are countless times larger than that number; Prithvi, Jal, Vayukai jivas are tremendously larger than those. The jivas that abide in moksha are countless times larger than those. Even among them, countless tin.us larger than those dwell in each Nighodh i.e., in the Anantkaisharir. In the root-kind, each particle contains countless Nigodhs. When that is so how can that food be eaten ? It is believed that four gates lead to hell (1) Having intimacy with other women; (2) Eating food in the nights; (3) Sandhan; eating prohibited food. For example, root-kinds like, Vajrakand (a root-kind) Harakachur (curcuma reclinata) Wooden apple, the roots of Somph (Fennel) betel-leaf stuffed and folded, garlic, carrot. Laga, which is used as a vegetable; Lodakandh or (Padmini Kandh), Lotus leaves, all new and fresh sprouts, green math, the bark of the Lavana Tree; soft tamarind, the new vegetable of Vathua, root-kinds, sweet potato, palak (spinach) Ratalu,
