## Eighteenth Kamyasthitipad [347]
**The state of the Avedak Jiva:** There are two types of Avedak Jivas - Sadi-A Paryavasit and Sadi-S Paryavasit.
* A Jiva who attains the Kshapak श्रेणी and becomes Avedak is called Sadi-A Paryavasit Avedak, because such a Jiva can never become Savedak again.
* A Jiva who attains the Upsham श्रेणी and becomes Avedak is called Sadi-S Paryavasit, because his Avedak state has a beginning and an end, which occurs when he falls to the ninth Gunasthan.
**Duration of Avedak state:** Among these, the Sadi-S Paryavasit Avedak remains Avedak for a minimum of one Samaya and a maximum of Antarmuhurt. This is because a Jiva who remains Avedak for one Samaya and then dies and takes birth in Devagati in the next Samaya, becomes Savedak due to the rise of Purushaved. Therefore, the minimum duration of Avedak state is called one Samaya. The maximum duration is called Antarmuhurt because after Antarmuhurt, if he falls from the श्रेणी, his Ved will arise.
**Duration of Napunsakavedi:** The maximum duration of Napunsakavedi is said to be Vanaspatikala, i.e., infinite time. This is because the Jivas in the plant kingdom are Napunsakavedi, and their lifespan is infinite.
