It is possible. There may be a moment of time (antarmuhūrta) for all beings with leshya. This is not correct, because it is characterized by a large number of time units. One should look at the perspective of animals and humans. Due to the excellence of a small number of time units in an incalculable fraction (āvalikāsaṃkhyeya), the time for hell beings is seven, five, and three oceans respectively, compared to the time for gods and humans. For the liberated souls (sayogakevali), the time is thirty-three oceans, seventeen oceans, and three oceans respectively, compared to various beings, because they initiate the punishment, etc., at the same time. The time for the most excellent hell beings is incalculable, because they are in a state of suffering. When they go to punishment, etc., in a continuous uneven time, characterized by an incalculable number of time units, they initiate it with the same leshya. For one being, the time is the least and the most excellent, but there are no rules for coming from there, so there is some time that is three times the time for filling two worlds (prataradvyalokapūraṇalakṣaṇāḥ). The time mentioned is more. For the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi), the time is thirty-three oceans, etc., compared to one being with leshya, because the time for hell beings is the most excellent, compared to one being with the least excellent leshya (āhārakāma mithyādṛṣṭi).
There is a moment of time (antarmuhūrta) for one being, because it is born in a small world (kṣudra bhave) by going in a crooked path (vakragati), and again goes in a crooked path. It is born and dies again, going in a crooked path, and does not attain right faith (samyaktva) in the final annihilation (māranāntika) in the seventh earth. It remains without food (anāhārak) and becomes a food-eater (āhārak) in the middle. Therefore, there is some less time mentioned. The incalculable fraction of the incalculable number of time units of the ascending and descending (utsapiṇī-avasarpiṇī) time is the measure of the time for the blazing (tejo) and the foot-leshya (padāleśyā) wrong faith (mithyādṛṣṭi) and the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi). The time for one being with the most excellent leshya is incalculable, compared to the time for one being with the least excellent leshya, because the measure of doubt (śaṅkā) and āvalikā is incalculable. Therefore, the time for the first and twelfth heavens is two oceans, compared to the time for the eighteenth heaven, which is eighteen oceans.
It is not correct to say that the time for those beings with the mentioned state is incalculable, because the time for the final annihilation and birth is possible. Therefore, it is necessary to take some more time mentioned. The measure of time for the wrong faith (mithyādṛṣṭi) with white leshya (śuklaleśyā) is a small incalculable number, compared to the time for one being with the most excellent leshya. The time for the gods of the highest graveya is thirty-one oceans. There is also white leshya in their final annihilation and birth. Therefore, the time for the liberated souls (sayogakevali) is some more than thirty-one oceans, compared to various beings. The time for the restrained (samyata) and the unrestrained (asanyata) with the qualities of the stages (guṇasthāna) with white leshya (śuklaleśyā) is three times, compared to one being with the least excellent leshya, because they initiate the punishment, etc., at the same time. The time for the qualities of the stages (guṇasthāna) and the change of leshya (leśyāparivartana) is a medium number, compared to the time for one being with the most excellent leshya. The time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with the qualities of the stages (guṇasthāna) is one time, and the time for the most excellent is a moment of time (antarmuhūrta).
They initiate the punishment, etc., at different times. The time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is three times, compared to one being, because the time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is the least excellent, and the time for the most excellent is three times. The time for the two worlds (pratar) and one world-filling (lokapūraṇa) punishment is one time, compared to one being with wrong faith (mithyādṛṣṭi). The time for the least excellent is a moment of time (antarmuhūrta). It is born in a small world (kṣudra bhave) by going in a crooked path (vakraṇa gataḥ). It goes again in a crooked path (vakreṇa gataḥ). The incalculable fraction of the incalculable number of time units of the ascending and descending (utsapiṇī-avasarpiṇī) time is the measure of the time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi), because it always goes in a straight path (śaśvadṛjugatimattvāt). The time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is one time, compared to one being with wrong faith (mithyādṛṣṭi). The time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is sixty-six oceans, compared to various beings, because the time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is the most excellent. The incalculable fraction of the āvalikā is one time, because the time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is characterized by a large number of time units. The time for the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is one time, because it remains only for that much time. Again, in the middle, the unrestrained (asanyata) with right faith (samyagdṛṣṭi) is a food-eater (āhārak) until the moment of time (antarmuhūrta), because it goes in a crooked path (vakragati) at the beginning and end.
