The period of karma-niṣeka is the remaining time after subtracting the uninterrupted period from the total duration of karma. 1698. [1] "O Bhagavan!

Its duration is three parts of the Sagaropama, minus an innumerable part of the Palyopama, for the lowest, and thirty Kodakodi Sagaropama for the highest. Its uninterrupted period is three thousand years, and the remaining time after subtracting the uninterrupted period from the total duration of karma is the period of karma-niṣeka." [1698.1 Pr.] "O Bhagavan! How long is the duration of the Darśanacatuṣka (Darsanāvaraṇīya) karma?" [1698.2 U.] "Gautama! Its duration is one Antarmukutta for the lowest, and thirty Kodakodi Sagaropama for the highest. Its uninterrupted period is three thousand years." [1698.2 Pr.] 1666. [1] "O Bhagavan! How long is the duration of the Sātāvedanīya karma?" [1666.1 U.] "Gautama! Its duration is two moments for the lowest, and twelve Muhurtas for the highest, in comparison to the Iryāpathika bandhaka. Its duration is twelve Muhurtas for the lowest, and fifteen Kodakodi Sagaropama for the highest, in comparison to the Sāmprāyika bandhaka. Its uninterrupted period is fifteen hundred years." [1666.1 Pr.] "O Bhagavan! How long is the duration of the Asātāvedanīya karma?" [1666.2 U.] "Gautama! Its duration is three parts of the Sagaropama, minus an innumerable part of the Palyopama, for the lowest, and thirty Kodakodi Sagaropama for the highest. Its uninterrupted period is three thousand years." [1666.2 Pr.]
