7. When the movement of breath stops, there is a difference in lifespan. The lifespan that is consumed in a short period of time before the fixed time due to the attainment of causes is called irreversible lifespan. It is also called Sopakram lifespan. That which is with the beginning is Sopakram. The attainment of causes like sharp weapons, strong poison, intense fire, etc. is the beginning. Irreversible lifespan is of both Sopakram and Nirupkram types. In other words, this irreversible lifespan is the presence or absence of the aforementioned causes like the end of life that brings untimely death. Even if the aforementioned causes are present, the irreversible lifespan does not end before the fixed time.
It is important to note here that the जीव has to experience all the Dalik that are bound in the Bandhakal, only that experience is called untimely death in comparison to the Kalik situation when it happens in a short period of time.
27- "Bante! Did that man help the ascetic Gajasukumal?"
"Krishna! You saw a man in Dwarka city while coming to pay your respects to me [who was very old, decrepit from old age, very tired, withered, weak, and was carrying a brick from the highway to his house. Seeing you place a brick, all the men with you also picked up a brick and delivered it to the old man's house, and that huge pile of bricks immediately moved from the highway to the old man's house. In this way, your good deed relieved the old man's suffering.] Krishna! Just as you helped that man by relieving his suffering, Krishna! That man also helped the ascetic Gajasukumal, who was engaged in the eradication of a huge amount of karma accumulated over millions of births, in the complete eradication of those karmas."
Hearing this, Krishna Vasudeva asked again, "O Venerable One! How did that man help Gajasukumal Muni?"
Arhat Arishtanemi replied to Krishna Vasudeva in this way
"Krishna! While coming to pay your respects to me, you saw a man in Dwarka city [who was very old, decrepit from old age, very tired, withered, weak, and was carrying a brick from the highway to his house. Seeing you place a brick, all the men with you also picked up a brick and delivered it to the old man's house, and that huge pile of bricks immediately moved from the highway to the old man's house.

That man also helped Gajasukumal Muni, who was engaged in the eradication of a huge amount of karma accumulated over millions of births, in the complete eradication of those karmas."
Discussion- In this sutra, Lord Arishtanemi explained to Shri Krishna with an example from his own (Shri Krishna's) life that he actually became a helpful participant in the karma-destruction of Gajasukumal Muni.
