## Samvayanga Sutra, Ratnaprabha
**218]**
The duration of the *upapat* (birth) of the hell beings of the *Ratnaprabha* earth is from one *muhurt* (48 minutes) at the lowest to twenty-four *muhurt* at the highest. The highest *upapat* duration of the hell beings of the *Sharkara* earth is seven nights and days. The highest *upapat* duration of the hell beings of the *Valuka* earth is half a month (15 nights and days). The highest *upapat* duration of the hell beings of the *Pankaprabha* earth is one month. The highest *upapat* duration of the hell beings of the *Dhumaprabha* earth is two months. The highest *upapat* duration of the hell beings of the *Tamahprabha* earth is four months. The highest *upapat* duration of the hell beings of the *Mahatamahprabha* earth is six months.
The highest *upapat* duration of the *Asura Kumaras* is twenty-four *muhurt*. Similarly, one should know the *upapat* duration of all the other *bhavanavasis* (dwellers of the abodes). The *upapat* duration of the five *ekendriya* (one-sensed) beings, starting with the *prithivicayika*, is not applicable, as they are constantly being born. The *upapat* duration of the *dwiendriya* (two-sensed) beings is one *antarmuhurt* (half a *muhurt*). Similarly, one should know the *upapat* duration of the *triendriya* (three-sensed), *chaturindriya* (four-sensed), and *sammuchchhim* (fully developed) *panchendriya* (five-sensed) *tiryanch* (animals). The *upapat* duration of the *garbhopakrantik* (embryonic) humans is twelve *muhurt*. The *upapat* duration of the *sammuchchhim* humans is twenty-four *muhurt*. The *upapat* duration of the *vyantar*, *jyotishk*, and *soudharm* - *ishankalp* gods is also twenty-four *muhurt* each. The *upapat* duration of the *Sanatkumar* gods is nine days and twenty *muhurt*. The *upapat* duration of the *Mahendra* gods is twelve days and ten *muhurt*. The *upapat* duration of the gods of the *Brahmaloka* is twenty-two and a half days and nights. The *upapat* duration of the *Lantaka* gods is forty-five nights and days. The *upapat* duration of the *Mahashukra* gods is eighty days. The *upapat* duration of the *Sahasrar* gods is one hundred days. The *upapat* duration of the *Anat* gods is a countable number of months. Similarly, one should know the *upapat* duration of the *Pranat* gods. The *upapat* duration of the *Aran* and *Achyut* gods is a countable number of years. The *upapat* duration of the gods of the *Adhastan Graiveyakatrik* is a countable number of hundred years. The *upapat* duration of the gods of the *Madhyam Graiveyakatrik* is a countable number of thousand years. The *upapat* duration of the gods of the *Uparitan Graiveyakatrik* is a countable number of hundred thousand years. The *upapat* duration of the gods of the four *anuttar* (highest) *vimanas* (celestial chariots), starting with *Vijaya*, is an uncountable number of years. The *upapat* duration of the *Sarvarthasiddha* gods is an uncountable fraction of a *palya* (a measure of time). This is the duration of the *upapat* (birth).
The act of leaving a particular hell, heaven, etc., i.e., leaving that *paryaya* (state) and taking birth in another *paryaya* is called *udvartana* (transmigration). The duration of the *udvartana* is the same as the duration of the *upapat* mentioned for each *gati* (state of existence).

"O Venerable One! How many *aagarsha* (attractions) bind the *jati-nama-nidhattayushk* (life-span determined by birth) karma?"
"Gautama! It may be one *aagarsha*, it may be two *aagarsha*, it may be three *aagarsha*, it may be four *aagarsha*, it may be five *aagarsha*, it may be six *aagarsha*, it may be seven *aagarsha*, and it may be eight *aagarsha* that bind the *jati-nama-nidhattayushk* karma. But it is not nine *aagarsha*."
Similarly, one should know the binding of the other *ayushk* (life-span) karmas. Similarly, from the *Asura Kumaras*...
