Destruction of CD Karma : (185)
In the first Samaya of experiencing the intensity reduction of existing deluding karma, the time of the first duration along with the second duration is 1 year, 2 year, 4 years or eight years.
The time of duration is the same for the second and higher intensity reductions (like the first Samaya).
The group of mass points of intensity reduction being experienced by the karmic destroyer moving on destructional ladder stays in the structural form of centre of barley-like state (i.e. maximal time of 8 Samayas, Yava-madhya). This last stage of the centre exists in first and the second duration and is intercepted by intermediate durations. Hence, it is continual. The first duration there increase in geometric progression while the second duration has a decreasing progression. (The groups of mass points increase innumerable times up to first stage of second duration and, then, decrease innumerable times later. Thus, the multiplier here is innumerable).
One should deduct the group of points of the last drippings (Nisekas) from the points of the first dripping of the second stage of duration. On doing so, one gets the remainder which is equal to the innumerableth part of the mass points related with the first dripping of the second stage of duration.
or,
First-dripping - last dripping = 1/In. first dripping.
