Translation by G. Srinivasan (recent): Interactive changes in the compressive Thamasic state proceed on the basis of 8 orders of change to create the superposed state. The merging along three axial directions at the first Moha level is 2 cubed or 8 orders. The second level of merging is more deeply nested as the Mahamoha level and therefore 4 more levels are added to the 2 forming 6 orders and along all three axes it totals to 18 levels of order. This forms the innermost deep and darkest dense core as the Andhathamishra state.
