In this way, all four **Paripatis** (cycles) should be understood. One **Paripati** takes six months and seven days. The duration of all four **Paripatis** is two years and twenty-eight days, until the **Arya Mahakal** attained **Siddhi** (liberation).
**Discussion:** **Arya Mahakal** performed the **"Laghu Singh Nishkridit Tap"** (minor lion-like penance). In this sutra, it is called **"Khuddaga Sihanikkiliyam"**, which means - just as a lion, while walking, looks back at its traversed path, similarly, in this penance, the days of **Upavasa** that were transgressed are consumed again and then one moves forward.
**Singh Nishkridit Tap** is of two types, one **"Laghu Singh Nishkridit"** and the other **"Maha Singh Nishkridit Tap"**. In the present study, **Arya Mahakal** performed the **Laghu Singh Nishkridit Tap**. This penance also has four **Paripatis**. One **Paripati** takes six months and seven days. Thirty-three days are spent in **Parana**. In this way, the first **Paripati** is completed in six months and seven days. All four **Paripatis** take two years and twenty-eight days.
This is clearly evident from the **establishment mechanism** shown on the next page.
Just as **Kali Devi** consumed milk, ghee, and all other substances during the **Parana** of the first **Paripati** of the **Ratnavali Tap**, she abandoned these juices during the **Parana** of the second **Paripati**, she abandoned even the **lepamatra** (a small amount) in the third **Paripati**, and she performed the **Parana** of the **Upavasa** with **Ayambila** (a type of food) in the fourth **Paripati**, similarly, **Mahakal Devi** consumed **Vigya** (a type of food) in the first **Paripati** of the **Laghu Singh Nishkridit Tap**, she abandoned it in the second, she abandoned even the **lepamatra** in the third, and she performed the **Parana** of the **Upavasa** with **Ayambila Tap** in the fourth.
