[138] A woman who has attained the *kaladharma* (natural lifespan) before the *purvakoti* (first stage of existence) and has been born with a lifespan of three *palyopamas* (units of time). In this way, the *deshon* (duration of existence) is three *palyopamas* more than the *purvakoti*. This demonstrates that the *sanharan* (destruction) of a woman with a lifespan of less than an *antarmuhurt* (short period of time) and a fetus does not occur. Otherwise, the *deshon* of the *purvakoti* cannot be proven from the *antarmuhurt* and the *purvakoti*.
Specifically, the *deshon* of women in the *haimvat*, *airanyavat*, *harivarsha*, *ramyavarsha*, *devakuru*, *uttarakuru*, and *antarvipija* (different realms of existence) is the same as their current state, not their birth.
The *deshon* should be understood as three *palyopamas* more than the *purvakoti* from the *antarmuhurt* in the case of *sanharan* and from the current state in the case of *utkarsha* (excellence). This concise statement should be understood clearly as follows:
* The *deshon* of a human woman in the *haimvat* and *airanyavat* is one *palyopam* less than the *palyopamasankhyeyabhag* (incalculable number of *palyopamas*) from birth and a full *palyopam* from *utkarsha*. From *sanharan*, it is one *palyopam* more than the *antarmuhurt* and the *purvakoti* from *utkarsha*.
* The *deshon* of a human woman in the *harivarsha* and *ramyavarsha* is two *palyopamas* less than the *palyopamasankhyeyabhag* from birth and two full *palyopamas* from *utkarsha*. From *sanharan*, it is two *palyopamas* more than the *antarmuhurt* and the *purvakoti* from *utkarsha*.
* The *deshon* of a human woman in the *devakuru* and *uttarakuru* is three *palyopamas* less than the *palyopamasankhyeyabhag* from birth and three full *palyopamas* from *utkarsha*. From *sanharan*, it is three *palyopamas* more than the *antarmuhurt* and the *purvakoti* from *utkarsha*.
* The *deshon* of a human woman in the *antarvipija* is an incalculable fraction of a *palyopam* less than the *palyopamasankhyeyabhag* from birth and an incalculable fraction of a *palyopam* from *utkarsha*. From *sanharan*, it is an incalculable fraction of a *palyopam* more than the *antarmuhurt* and the *purvakoti* from *utkarsha*.
The *deshon* of *devistri* (divine women) is the same as their current state. This is because they do not experience *kayasthiti* (physical existence) due to their *bhavasvabhav* (nature of existence). Divine beings do not die and become divine again.
**Interlude 46:**
"Thus, Venerable One, what is the difference in time?"
"Gotama, from the *antarmuhurt* to the *anantakal* (infinite time) is the *vanassaikalo* (time of destruction) for all *tirikkh* (non-human beings). For human beings, from the *antarmuhurt* to the *vanassaikalo* is the time for the *khettapaddutti* (destruction of the body). From the *ekkasamaya* (one moment) to the *anantakal* is the time for *dhammacharan* (practice of virtue) until the *avadpoggalpariyat* (complete liberation) is attained. This continues until the *pumvavi-deha* (previous body) and *avidehiya* (liberated being) are attained.
"Venerable One, what is the difference in time for those who have attained the *akammabhum* (state of non-action)?"
