173. The Jiva-Jiva-Abhigamsutra states that a Sayogi-Bhav-Sthakevali who is an Anaharaka can remain in the state of Jghana and Utkarhsa for three times without any difference. This is because in the third, fourth, and fifth times of the Asht-Samayik Kevali-Samudghat, only Karman-Kayayoga occurs. Therefore, in those three times, he is an Anaharaka by rule. The difference between Antar-Dwar-Chhadmasth-Anaharaka and Jghana is one time, and the difference between Antar-Dwar-Chhadmasth-Anaharaka and Utkarhsa is two times. The duration of the Chhadmasth-Anaharaka is the same as the duration of the Chhadmasth-Paharak. This duration is one time from Jghana and two times from Utkarhsa. Therefore, the difference between Chhadmasth-Paharak and Jghana is one time, and the difference between Chhadmasth-Paharak and Utkarhsa is two times. The difference between Kevali-Anaharaka and Ajghana-Utkarhsa is three times. Kevali-Anaharaka is a Sayogi-Bhav-Sthakevali. His Anaharakatva is for three times, as mentioned earlier. The difference between Kevali-Paharak and Kevali-Anaharaka is also three times. The difference between Chhadmasth-Anaharaka and Jghana is two times less than the Ksullak-Bhav, and the difference between Chhadmasth-Anaharaka and Utkarhsa is countless times or countless parts of an Angul. This has been explained earlier. The duration of the Chhadmasth-Paharak is the same as the difference between Chhadmasth-Anaharaka and Jghana. There is no difference between Siddha-Kevali-Anaharaka and Jghana because it is Sadi-A-Paryavasit. The difference between Sayogi-Bhav-Sthakevali-Anaharaka and Jghana is Antar-Muhurt, and the difference between Sayogi-Bhav-Sthakevali-Anaharaka and Utkarhsa is also Antar-Muhurt. This is because after performing Kevali-Samudghat, the state of Shaileshi is attained within Antar-Muhurt. Here also, one should understand that the Utkarhsa-pad is more special than the Jghana-pad. There is no difference between A-Yogi-Bhav-Sthakevali-Anaharaka and Jghana because all are Anaharaka in the A-Yogi state. There is no difference between Siddhas and Jghana because they are Sadi-A-Paryavasit. The least number of Anaharakas are those who are Siddhas, Vigraha-Gati-Samapannak, Samudghat-Gat-Kevali, and A-Yogi-Kevali. The number of Anaharakas is countless times less than the number of Aharakas. There might be a doubt that the number of Vanaspati-Jivas is countless times more than the number of Siddhas, and they are mostly Aharakas, so why is it not said that the number of Aharakas is countless times more? The answer is that countless parts of the Prati-Nigo-D are always in Vigraha-Gati every time, and Jivas are Anaharakas in Vigraha-Gati. Therefore, the number of Aharakas is countless times more, not countless times less. Here, information about Ksullak-Bhav is given in the Vritti. It is being given here because it is useful. Ksullak-Bhav means small or little. The reception of the smallest Bhav (the time of sensation of a small lifespan) is Ksullak-Bhav-Grahan. According to the standards of Pravalikas, it is two hundred and fifty-six Pravalikas. There are slightly more than seventeen Ksullak-Bhav in one breath. There are sixty-five thousand five hundred Ksullak-Bhav in one Muhurt.
