Destruction of CD Karma : (167)
15.2 Attenuation : Doctrinal Verse-1
By how much volitional exertions, the living being causes to augment or attenuate the duration and intensity (of karmas) under non'fruitional intervalisation? Further, how long the attenuated or augmented karmic space-points do exist naturally without volitional exertion.
(The same query may also be made with respect to transition in other karmic species by the justice of part-mention indication)
15.2 Explanatory Verses of First Doctrinal Verse
The minimum time for attenuation is an Āvali less by its third part, (11/3). It is equal to 2/3 Āvalī. This is the minimum time of attenuation under all circumstances or durations.
In addition, the minimum attenuation period with respect to intensity is tied with infinite supervariforms (Spardhakas) (and does not occur until these supervariforms are over-stepped).
The karmic mass points, which are transited or au „mented naturally, stay for an Āvali (with the soul).
Afterwards, their stay with soul is optional (as there is no canonical statement about this point. They may stay for more or less time or they may be invariant).
