[34] [Prajñāpanā Sūtra [1333 Pr.] Bhagavan! Lobhakṣayī, how long does Lobhakṣayī remain as Lobhakṣayī (continuously)? [1333 U.] Gautama! The inferior one for one time, the superior one for an antarmūhurta (Lobhakṣayī remains continuously with the Lobhakṣayī paryāya). 1334. Akṣayī, Bhante! How long does Akṣayī remain as Akṣayī? Gotama! Akṣayī is said to be of two types. They are as follows - (1) Sādī-aparyavasita and (2) Sādī-saparyavasita. Of these, the one who is Sādī-saparyavasita, remains as Akṣayī for a minimum of one time and a maximum of an antarmūhurta. Seventh Gate // {1334 Pr.] Bhagavan! Akṣayī, how long does Akṣayī remain as Akṣayī? [1334 U.] Gautama! Akṣayī is said to be of two types. They are as follows - (1) Sādī-aparyavasita and (2) Sādī-saparyavasita. Of these, the one who is Sādī-saparyavasita, remains as Akṣayī for a minimum of one time and a maximum of an antarmūhurta. Seventh Gate // 7 // // Discussion - Seventh Kṣayā Gate - In the present four sūtras (Sū. 1331 to 1334), the time period for which the Sakṣayī, Akṣayī and Krodhādikṣayī remain continuously in their respective paryāyas has been explained. Explanation of the three types of Sakṣayī - The jīva who is with kṣayās is called Sakṣayī. Kṣayā is a विकारी परिणाम of the jīva. Sakṣayī jīvas are of three types (1) Anādi-ananta - The jīva who will never attain the Upśamaśreṇī or Kṣapakaśreṇī is called Anādi-ananta Sakṣayī, because his kṣayās can never be destroyed. (2) Anādi-sānta - The jīva who will attain the Upśamaśreṇī or Kṣayakaśreṇī is called Anādi-sānta Sakṣayī, because the destruction of his kṣayā-udaya takes place in the eleventh Gaṇasthāna or the twelfth Guṇasthāna upon attaining the Upśama or Kṣayakaśreṇī. (3) Sādī-sānta - The jīva who attains the Upśamaśreṇī and becomes Akṣayī and then falls back from the Upśamaśreṇī and becomes Sakṣayī is called Sādī-sānta Sakṣayī. Because his kṣayā-udaya has a beginning and will also end in the future. Of these, the Sādī-sānta Sakṣayī remains continuously as Sakṣayī for a minimum of an antarmūhurta and a maximum of an infinite time. In this regard, the quantity of infinite time and its related reasoning should be understood like the Savēdī. Time period of Krodha-Māna-Māyā Kṣayī - The jīva who is with Krodha, Māna and Māyā kṣayās remains continuously as Krodhādikṣayī only for an antarmūhurta. Because the udaya (specific use) of any one kṣayā like Krodha etc. can remain for a minimum and a maximum of an antarmūhurta. The nature of the jīva is such that the udaya of Krodha etc. kṣayās does not remain for more than an antarmūhurta. 1. (a) Prajñāpanā Sūtra, Malaya. Vṛtti, Patrāṅka 386 (b) Prajñāpanā.
