[Eighteenth Kalasthitipada] [345 [1326 U.] Gautama! From the lowest one moment to the highest plant-period, he continuously remains in the form of a neuter-vedaka. / 1330. Avedaka, O Venerable One! Avedaka, in what form? Gotama! Avedaka has been declared in two ways. / It is like this - (1) Sadi-ananta and (2) Sadi-santa. / Of these, the one who is Sadi-santa, remains in the form of an avedaka from the lowest one moment to the highest antarmukha (continuously). Sixth Door // 5 // Discussion - Sixth Ved-door - In the present five sutras (from 1326 to 1330), the time-position of the svedaka, avedaka, and the male-female neuter-vedaka has been described. Three types of svedaka - (1) Anadi-aparyavasita - The being who will never attain the upshama-shreni or kshapaka-shreni, is called anadi-aparyavasita (infinite), the rise of his ved will never cease. / (2) Anadi-saparyavasita - Whose beginning is not there, but the end is there. The being who will attain the upshama-shreni or kshapaka-shreni sometime, but who has not attained it yet, is the anadi-saparyavasita svedaka. The rise of the ved of such a being ceases when he attains the upshama-shreni or kshapaka-shreni. Adi-saparyavasita - The being who attains the upshama-shreni and becomes vedatita, but falls from the upshama-shreni and again attains the sved-state, is called the sadi-saparyavasita svedaka. ' Sadi-saparyavasita svedaka's time-position - The time-measure of such a svedaka remains continuously connected with the svedaka-paryay from the lowest antarmukha to the highest infinite time (time-measure mentioned in the original text). The meaning is that when a being, having ascended to the upshama-shreni, becomes avedaka by subduing the three vedas, but falls from the upshama-shreni and again attains the svedaka state, and then again quickly attains the upshama-shreni, or according to the opinion of the karmagranthikas, the kshapaka-shreni, and then subdues or destroys the three vedas in an antarmukha, then that being remains in the sved-state only for an antarmukha. Excellently, the being remains sved until deshon ardha-pudgala-paravarta. Because, having fallen from the upshama-shreni, that being wanders in the world only for that much time. Therefore, the above-mentioned excellent time-measure of the sadi-santa svedaka being is proved. / Explanation of the time-position from the five expectations of the stri-vedaka - The lowest time-measure of the stri-vedaka is one moment, it is like this - A being, having subdued the three vedas in the upshama-shreni, becomes avedaka. 1.
