## Twentieth Interrogation Chapter [411 should be taken. Although the lifespan experienced in the state of unconsciousness is also called unconscious lifespan, it is not being considered here. The four types of unconscious lifespan states - (1) The bondage of the lowest hell lifespan is said to be 10,000 years, which should be understood in relation to the first appearance (pathde) of the first hell. It should be understood that it earns a part of the countless parts of the hell lifespan palyaopam. This statement should be understood in relation to the middle position of the hell in the fourth layer of Ratnapraba earth. Because in the first appearance of Ratnapraba earth, the lowest position is 10,000 years, while the highest position is 60,000 years. In the second appearance, the lowest position is 10 lakh years and the highest position is 60 lakh years. Similarly, in the third appearance, the lowest position is 10 lakh years and the highest position is one koti पूर्व. In the fourth appearance, the lowest is one koti पूर्व and the highest position is one-tenth of the sagaropama. Therefore, here the position of the countless parts of the palyaopam is the middle one. The unconscious lifespan of the animal realm is said to be, at its best, a countless part of the palyaopam, which should be understood in relation to the paired animals. Similarly, the unconscious human lifespan, which is said to be, at its best, a countless part of the palyaopam, should also be understood in relation to the paired humans. The smallness of the unconscious lifespans should be understood in relation to the short and long lifespans of these four. // The twentieth interrogation chapter of the Prajnapanabhagavati is complete. // 1.
