This, according to the guides of the world,
Is the limit beyond which a number is incomputable.

“Counting is said to rely on multiplying by ten,
But then, it is an incomputable number that is multiplied.
Multiplying an incomputable number by ten
Gives a number even more incomputable.¹⁹³⁹

“This world is proclaimed to be multiplied
A thousandfold infinite number of times.
The cosmic unit next to this world
Is a great world, which is manifolded further.

“Beyond that, there is the so-called darkness,
And beyond that, the so-called light.
After light is the so-called great light,
And when this is multiplied, it is called multitude.¹⁹⁴⁰

“After the multitude is the so-called great multitude,
And after the great multitude ¹⁹⁴¹ is one called the deep.¹⁹⁴²
After the deep is one called the stable,
And after the stable comes the more stable.

“Beyond that is the abundant,¹⁹⁴³
And beyond the abundant, the basis.¹⁹⁴⁴
According to those who delight in the art of enumeration,
Beyond the basis ¹⁹⁴⁵ is the more basic.

“After that comes the great basis,
And the one after the great basis is known as the fixed.
When we have moved from the fixed to the more fixed,¹⁹⁴⁶
The next [on the list] is known as the great thing.¹⁹⁴⁷

“After the great thing there is the famous basis,¹⁹⁴⁸
And after that comes the great ocean.
After the great ocean is one called the primal,
And after the primal is the more primal.

“The one after the [more] primal is called excellent,
And the one after the excellent, the most excellent.
After the [most] excellent is one called dwelling place,
And after the dwelling place, one known as the inconceivable.

“[After] the inconceivable there is the terrible;¹⁹⁴⁹
[After that,] the terrible, the kingdom.
Beyond the kingdom is the home of the treasure,¹⁹⁵⁰
And beyond¹⁹⁵¹ that is the virtuous.

“Beyond the virtuous is the great mind,
And the next after that is the no-mind.
After the no-mind is the confused mind,¹⁹⁵²
And after that is what is called expressible.

“After the expressible is the inexpressible.¹⁹⁵³
Next is one called the universal,¹⁹⁵⁴
And after the universal is the great universal.
Next is one called asvara.¹⁹⁵⁵

“After the asvara is the place of the great asvara,
After which there is the kharva.¹⁹⁵⁶
The place auspicious peace is so called
By those who have reached the limit of enumeration.

“After the very courageous is the courageous,¹⁹⁵⁷
And then one called the watery.
After the watery is the confused mind,¹⁹⁵⁸
