અનુવાદ હજી અતપાસ્યો. આ અનુવાદ હજી મૂળ ગ્રંથોના જાણકાર દ્વારા તપાસાયો નથી. આંકડા અંગ્રેજી જેવા જ છે; શબ્દપ્રયોગની સમીક્ષા બાકી છે.
A ladder of the Prajñāpanā · 5 rungs
By five destinies
अल्पबहुत्व
The five destinies, from fewest to most: humans, hell-beings, gods, siddhas, animals and plants.
Five destinies, one order: humans fewest, then the beings of the seven hells, innumerably more; then the gods, innumerably more than those; then the siddhas, infinitely more - every soul that has ever been liberated is still a soul, and still counted; then the animals and plants, infinitely more than the siddhas, because the Nigoda hold infinite souls in every body. The humans' rung is the only countable one.
In the text's own words the ladder reads - fewest: humans; innumerably many times more: hell-beings; innumerably many times more: gods; infinitely many times more: siddhas; infinitely many times more: animals and plants. Source: Prajñāpanā 3.
