170 [Jivajivaabhigamsutra Gautam! The difference between the least and the greatest duration of a *chhadmastha-paharak* is from a *kshullkabhav* (a very short time) to an *asankhyeyakal* (an immeasurable time), which is like an immeasurable part of an angul (finger) compared to the whole field. How long does a *kevali-paharak* last? Gautam! From the least, it lasts until the end of a *muhurt* (a period of time), and from the greatest, it lasts until the end of a *deshon-purvakoti* (a very long time). Bhagavan! How long does an *anaaharak* last? Gautam! There are two types of *anaaharaks* - *chhadmastha-anaaharaks* and *kevali-anaaharaks*. Bhagavan! How long does a *chhadmastha-anaaharak* last? Gautam! From the least, it lasts for one *samaya* (a period of time), and from the greatest, it lasts for two *samayas*. Kevali-anaaharaks are of two types - *siddhkevali-anaaharaks* and *bhavasthakevali-anaaharaks*. Bhagavan! How long does a *siddhkevali-anaaharak* last? Gautam! It is *sadi-aparyavasit* (without beginning or end). Bhagavan! How many types of *bhavasthakevali-anaaharaks* are there? Gautam! There are two types - *sayogibhavasthakevali-anaaharaks* and *ayogibhavasthakevali-anaaharaks*. Bhagavan! How long does a *sayogibhavasthakevali-anaaharak* last? From the least, it lasts for three *samayas* without any difference between the least and the greatest. An *ayogibhavasthakevali-anaaharak* lasts from the least, until the end of a *muhurt*, and from the greatest, it also lasts until the end of a *muhurt*. Bhagavan! What is the difference between the least and the greatest duration of a *chhadmastha-paharak*? Gautam! From the least, it lasts for one *samaya*, and from the greatest, it lasts for two *samayas*. The difference between the least and the greatest duration of a *kevali-graharak* is three *samayas* without any difference between the least and the greatest. The difference between the least and the greatest duration of an *anaaharak* is from two *samayas* less than a *kshullkabhav* to an immeasurable time, which is like an immeasurable part of an angul compared to the whole field. A *siddhkevali-anaaharak* is *sadi-aparyavasit* (without beginning or end), so there is no difference. The difference between the least and the greatest duration of a *sayogibhavasthakevali-anaaharak* is the end of a *muhurt* from both the least and the greatest. There is no difference between the least and the greatest duration of an *ayogibhavasthakevali-anaaharak*. Bhagavan! Which of these *aaharaks* and *anaaharaks* are less, more, equal, or superior to each other? Gautam! The *anaaharaks* are the fewest, and the *aaharaks* are countless times more than them. Discussion - This sutra, which deals with *aaharaks* and *anaaharaks*, describes two types of all beings. Only *kevalis* who have attained *vigraha-gati-samapanna* (complete liberation), *kevali-samudghat* (complete knowledge), *ayogi-kevalis* and *siddh* are *anaaharaks*. All other beings are *aaharaks*. 1. *Vigraha-imavanna kevalino samuhya ayogi ya / Siddha ya pranahara, sesa paharagaa jivaa //* (Only *kevalis* who have attained *vigraha-gati-samapanna*, *ayogi* or *siddh* are *anaaharaks*. All other beings are *aaharaks*.)
