It should also be kept in mind that the kamic durations have two varieties : (1) Karmically existencial duration and (2) Experiencial duration. The first variety includes the induction period also which is, in fact, not experienced or realised. The karmic duration mentioned in this and other aphorisms ahead represents the first variety of duration. The experiencial duration is defined as that duration which is obtained by deducting the induction period from karmically existencial duration
or,
Experiencial duration = Karmically existencial duration
Induction period (of each karma). and, Induction period = (Time of existencial duration - Time of
realisation) of karma. Thus, the experiencial duration will always be less than the first type of duration. In general, the induction period has been stated to be 100 Years/Sāgaropama duration (except for life-span karma) for maximum duration and only one Antarmuhurta for minimum duration.
The next aphorim mentions the maximum duration of the (deluding) karma which has been trespassed in the earlier aphorism after the feeling-producing karma
SAPTATIR-MOHANİYASYA 8.15. The maximum duration of the karma of delusion is crore x crore of seventy Sāgaropama (70 S x 10") years. 8.15. 1. The term 'Sågaropama-Koti-Koti' is supplied here form the earlier aphorism. This duration also refers to the living ones of the instinctive five-sensed category. The duration of deluding karma of other categories of the living beings is to be learnt from the Scriptures. This is given below. 1. 1-sensed completioned
