Ussappiņi (Utsarpini) Ascending cycle. Time consists of two types of cycles : Ussappini and Osappiņi, i. e. ascending ones and descending ones. That which has the characteristic of development of knowledge etc. is the ascending cycle. It is of six divisions 2 : (1) Dussamadussamā, (2) Dussamā, (3) Dussamasusamā, (4) Susamadussamă, (5) Susamā and (6) Susamasusamā. They are of the extent of twenty-one thousand years, twenty-one thousand years, one koțākoți (crore multiplied by crore) sägaropama less forty-two thousand years, two koțākoți sāgaropama, three kotākoți sägaropama ? and four koțākoți sāgaropama years respectively. Thus, the ascending cycle lasts ten kotākoți sägaropama years. The same is the extent of the descending cycle which is of the opposite characteristic (in the reverse order). Only in the Bharaha(2) and Eravaya(1) regions there is development as well as decay with regard to knowledge, age, stature, energy etc. during the six eras of each of the two aeons, namely, Ussappiņi and Osappiņi. In Susamadussamā era all the Kulagaras, the first Titthayara and the first Cakkavatti take birth and in Dussamasusamā the rest of the Titthayaras and Cakkavațțis as well as all the Baladevas(2), Vasudevas(1) and Padisattus take birth in the Bharaha(2)
