Maximum desh-bandh-A living being (soul) remains desh-bandhak (one that acquires bondage of a part) for one Samaya less in the maximum life-span for its genus. The maximum life spans of different genus are water-bodied beings-7,000 years; fire-bodied beings-3 days and nights (Ahoratra); plant-bodied beings-10,000 years; two-sensed beings-12 years; three-sensed beings-49 days; and four-sensed
beings 6 months.
i human or other type of living being forms a transmutable (vaikriya) body 卐 and abandons it to form a gross physical body, then it acquires bondage of the whole in the first Samaya and then in the second Samaya it does that of a part. It may die during that second Samaya. In this context the minimum time for which this bondage lasts is said to be one Samaya. ¡ The maximum life span of living beings with gross physical body is three Palyopam. During this life-span it is sarvabandhak (one that acquires bondage of the whole) in the first Samaya; after that he remains deshbandhak (one that acquires bondage of a part) for one Samaya less in three Palyopam. All living beings follow this pattern and remain deshbandhak according to their respective maximum life-spans. For example i the maximum life-span of one-sensed beings is 22 thousand years. Out of this they are sarvabandhak (one that acquires bondage of the whole) in the first Samaya and after that they are desh-bandhak (one that acquires bondage of a part) for one Samaya less in 22 thousand years.

Kshullak-bhava-grahan-Kshullak-bhava means rebirth of shortest life-span particular to a genus and a body. For example a minute dormant being (sukshma nigod) takes more than 17 rebirths within the i time taken to complete one breath (Shvasochchhvas) and 65,536 rebirths i in one Antarmuhurt (less than 45 minutes). Earth-bodied beings take 12,824 rebirths in one Antarmuhurt. Kshullak-bhava-grahan means time taken in taking rebirths of shortest life-span specific to the bodytype. For water-bodied beings to four-sensed beings the bondage of a part (desh-bandh) is a minimum of three Samaya less than Kshullak-bhavagrahan (time taken in taking rebirths of shortest life-span specific to the body-type). This is because they do not have transmutable body (vaikriya sharira). (For more details refer to Illustrated Bhagavati Sutra, part-2; published by Padam Prakashan)
Pudgal-paravartan—It is the time taken by a soul to touch each and every matter particle in the Lok. It is equivalent to infinite progressive and regressive cycles of time. One Avalika is equal to uncountable अष्टम शतक : नवम उद्देशक
