The maximum period during which no birth takes place and the maximum period during which no death takes place are always equal in any one of the classes. But the maximum period during which no birth takes place differs in different classes. Similarly, the maximum period during which no death takes place differs in different classes. Hence in the following table we give in connection with various classes the maximum periods during which no birth takes place as also the maximum periods during which no death takes place. But the minimum period during which no death takes place is the same in different classes; hence it is not necessary to mention it in the table.

1. For the udvartana-viraha-kala of all these classes and sub-classes one
may refer to sū. 607-608. The sūtras referred to in brackets give an account of upipāta-viraha-kala. It is stated in sū. 561 that in the case of the tiryanca-gati the minimum viraha-kala is one samaya only and the maximum viraha-kala is 12 muhurtas. But from the present sūtra it follows that in the case of tiryañca. gati there is no viraha-kala. Ac. Malayagiri does not account for this inconsistency.
