The Tattvarthasutra is proven by the view of existence. The view of the present must state that which has been established through immersion can only be called by two-thirds immersion. – Between (interruption): When one attains realization and immediately afterward the second is realized, then that is called continuous realization. The lowest continues for two moments, and the highest continues for eight moments. When a realization occurs only after some time following an earlier realization, then that is called gradual realization. The interval between the two realizations is the lowest of one moment and the highest of six months.
In one moment, the lowest can be one, and the highest can be one to eight realizations.
The concept of minimal increase (lesser multiplicity): The area and other eleven matters discussed above have been analyzed for potential differences regarding minimal increase internally; this is an unimportant consideration. For example, in area realization, the number of births is greater than that of absorption realization. Similarly, the highest realization leads to the least number. Because of that, the absorption realization yields certain qualities, and the lesser multiplicity yields specific qualities. The realization of the ocean is the least of all, and that of persistence yields specific qualities. Thus, considering each matter from time onward, minimal and maximal multiplicities have been analyzed, which I inform with special reference to the original text. [7]| SR No. | 001074 |
