After describing the state of a woman, the duration of her "sunchiththana" is explained. "Sunchiththana" refers to the period for which a woman can remain in her female form continuously (without leaving her "stree-swa"). The duration of "sunchiththana" is explained for a normal woman and then for each "uttarabhed" (sub-category). This information should be understood from both the original text and the translation.
Following the "sunchiththana" period, the "antar" (interval) is described. "Antar" refers to the period after a woman leaves her female form and before she becomes a woman again. The "antar" period is explained for a normal woman and for each "uttarabhed" woman.
After the "antar" comes the description of "alp-bahutva" (lesser-greater). "Alp-bahutva" means to explain the relative abundance or scarcity of something. This "alp-bahutva" is explained in relation to different categories: "tiryak-stri" (animal women), "manushya-stri" (human women), and "deva-stri" (divine women). The least numerous are human women, animal women are many times more numerous, and divine women are countless times more numerous.
Following this, the "alp-bahutva" of "stree-ved" (female karma) is explained. It is said that the minimum "stree-ved" is one-and-a-half sevenths of half a "sagaropama" (ocean-like) minus an "uncountable" number of "palya-upama" (atom-like) parts, and the maximum is fifteen "koti-koti" (billions of billions) "sagaropama". Fifteen hundred years is the "abada-kal" (uninterrupted period), and the "karma-nisheka" (experiencing period) is the period without "abada-kal". The period after the binding of karma until its manifestation is called "abada-kal". The period when the "karma-dalik" (karma particle) enters the "udaya-avali" (manifestation stream) is called "karma-nisheka".
Then, "stree-ved" is compared to "kumfuma-agni" (glowing embers). Just as the embers of a fire burn slowly and last for a long time, the experience of "stree-ved" is slow and long-lasting.
After the explanation of "stree-ved", the description of "purusha-ved" (male karma) follows. The different categories of men are described, and their state, "sunchiththana", "antar", and "alp-bahutva" are explained. Then, the binding state, "abada-kal", and "karma-nisheka" of "purusha-ved" are explained, and "purusha-ved" is compared to the flames of a "dava-agni" (forest fire).
In the description of "napunsak-ved" (eunuch karma), it is said that eunuchs are of three types: "narayik-napunsak" (male-like eunuch), "tiryak-yonik-napunsak" (animal-born eunuch), and "manushya-yonik-napunsak" (human-born eunuch). There are no divine eunuchs. Then, their different categories are described. Following this, their state, "sunchiththana", "antar", "alp-bahutva", binding state, "abada-kal", and "karma-nisheka" are explained. "Napunsak-ved" is compared to a "mahanagar-daha" (great city fire).
Then, the "alp-bahutva" of the "vedas" (karmas) is explained in terms of their types. It is said that men are the least numerous, women are many times more numerous than men, and eunuchs are countless times more numerous than women. Animal-born women are three times more numerous than animal-born men. Human women are twenty-seven times more numerous than human men, and divine women are thirty-two times more numerous than divine men.
"1. Three times more are the animal women than the animal men, it should be known.
2. Twenty-seven times more are the human women than the human men.
3. Thirty-two times more are the divine women than the divine men, as declared by the Jinas, due to the attachment and aversion." - Sangrahani-gatha [27]
