hell. After completing the maximum life-span of one Sagaropam there he may get reborn as human being and become a Naradev again when the disc weapon appears in his armory. Thus the minimum intervening period for Naradev is little more than one Sagaropam. On the other hand when a righteous jiva becomes a Chakravarti and continues in the cycles of rebirth
for Deshon Ardha-pudgal paravartya kaal before getting reborn as a 4. Naradev, get initiated and liberated, the intervening period is maximum; which is Deshon Ardha-pudgal paravartya kaal.
Minimum intervening period for Dharmadev–In case of a 5 Dharmadev the maximum intervening period is the same as Naradev for
the same reason. The minimum intervening period is when he (ascetic
with righteous conduct) gets reborn as a Dev in Saudharm kalp with a 45 life-span of Palyopam-prithaktva, after which period he gets reborn as a
human being and gets initiated at the age of eight years (the minimum 4 age for getting initiated). Thus the minimum intervening period is Palyopam-prithaktva.
Intervening period for Devadhidevs—There is no interveningperiod for Devadhidev because he (Tirthankar) gets liberated at the end of his lifespan.
