Sarvārthasiddhi
In this time period, the one-sensed beings are constantly dying and being reborn. Some of them, endowed with additional qualities, continue to take birth again and again through the voice-body or mind-body. Later, at the end of the time period of the imperfect or the perfect senses, they become either five-sensed or five-sensed-and-mind.
The transition from wrong belief to right belief, and the transition of other yogas (activities of the body, speech, and mind) experienced by them, occurs at the end of the time period of the right or wrong belief. This is also the case for the ascetics and the quiescent ones.
Regarding the five-sensed being with wrong belief, it should be understood that the duration of its yoga (activity of the body, speech, and mind) is the longest, exceeding the duration of the yogas of the other beings by ninety-six previous infinite time periods. Similarly, the duration of the male, female, and neuter Vedas is also the longest.
The being with the Vedas is born eight times with the consciousness of being named, and eight times without the consciousness of being named, within the duration of one previous infinite time period.
In the same way, the transition of yoga and the transition of the stages of spiritual development should be understood for the mobile beings as well, with the difference that the duration is the shortest, being only one time period, exceeding the previous infinite time periods by ninety-six.
The transition of the yoga and the stages of spiritual development for the ascetics and the quiescent ones should be understood in the same way as for the mind-yogis.
