## Second Chapter: Time Duration [147 [52]
**What are men and how many types are there?** There are three types of men: *tiryakyonik* men, human men, and divine men.
**How many types of *tiryakyonik* men are there?** There are three types of *tiryakyonik* men: aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial.
**Just as the distinctions in the rights of women have been mentioned, so should it be mentioned up to the aerial beings.** This is the description of the aerial beings and, along with them, the *tiryakyonik* aerial men.
**O Lord! How many types of human men are there?** Gautam! There are three types of human men: *karmabhumik*, *akarmabhumik*, and *antarvipik*. These are the distinctions among humans.
**How many types of divine men are there?** There are four types of divine men. Just as the distinctions mentioned in the rights of women should be mentioned, so should the distinctions of divine men be mentioned up to the *sarvarthasiiddha*.
**Discussion:** The distinctions mentioned in the rights of women should be mentioned in the distinctions of men. The special feature is only in the divine men. There are four types of divine men: *bhavanpati*, *vanavyantar*, *jyotishk*, and *vaimanik*.
**The *bhavanpati* has 10 distinctions, such as *asurakumar*. The *vanavyantar* has distinctions such as *pisaach*. The *jyotishk* has five distinctions, such as *chandra*. The *vaimanik* gods are of two types: *kalopappan* and *kalpaatit*.**
**The twelve divine realms, such as *soudharma*, are *kalopappan*. The *graiveyak* and *anuttaropapati* gods are *kalpaatit*.**
**The *anuttaropapati* has five distinctions: *vijay*, *vaijayant*, *jayant*, *aparaajit*, and *sarvarthasiiddha*.**
**Therefore, it is said, "Jaa samvatthasiiddha".**
## Time Duration 53
**O Lord! What is the time duration of a man?** Gautam! The lowest is an *antarmuhurt* and the highest is thirty-three *sagaropama*.
**The time duration of *tiryakyonik* men and human men should be known to be the same as that of *tiryakyonik* women and human women. The time duration of divine men, up to the *sarvarthasiiddha* gods of the *vaimanik* realm, should be known to be the same as that mentioned in the *prajnaapana* in the section on time duration.**
**Discussion:** When asked about the time duration of men without leaving their own existence, the Lord said that the lowest is an *antarmuhurt* and the highest is thirty-three *sagaropama*. The lowest time duration is mentioned as an *antarmuhurt* because of the possibility of death within an *antarmuhurt*. The highest time duration is mentioned as thirty-three *sagaropama* because of the *anuttaropapati* gods.
