**Explanation:**
The time difference between a single being and multiple beings is significant. This is because the restrained and unrestrained have a different experience of time than those who are not restrained. The time difference is also affected by the type of knowledge that a being has. For example, the mithyadristi has a different experience of time than the samyagdristi.
**Note:** The terms "antarmuhurta" and "palya" are units of time in Jainism.
