[First Study: Ganapati Ananda]
The duration of 69 moments is called a kshetra-paryapta. Its time duration is of an innumerable uttsarpini-avasarpini.
Kshetra-paryapta is of two types: vyavaharika (practical) and suksma (subtle). The above discussion is about the vyavaharika kshetra-paryapta.
The suksma-kshetra-paryapta is as follows: If one imagines taking out one space-point at a time from all the space-points touched and untouched by the hair-fragments in a well, and continues doing so until the well becomes completely empty of all space-points, the duration of this process is called the suksma-kshetra-paryapta. Its time duration is also of an innumerable uttsarpini-avasarpini. The duration of the suksma-kshetra-paryapta is innumerable times greater than that of the vyavaharika kshetra-paryapta.
The Anuyogadvara Sutra (138-140) and the Pravachanasaroddhara-dvara (148) discuss the details of the paryapta.
