Bhagavar 6:3:33-34
start producing their effect gradually. The bound karmas get divided into "quanta": cach quantum would come into rise, one after the other in a sequence. These quanta are called karma-niseka. In the first time-unit, the quantum of karma-niṣeka that is "dripping" is larger than that which drips in the second time-unit, and so on, up to the end of the "dripping" it becomes smallest.
In the present dialogue the period of dormancy has been mentioned in the case of only the seven types of karma, there being no mention the period of dormancy in the case of life-span-determining karma. In the Karma-prakṛti, however, we find the mention of the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma. According to this, the period of dormancy of the life-span-determining karma is one third of the whole life-span-determining of the present life." In the Pamcasamgraha, the maximum period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma is given to be one third of the parvakoți. [1 pārvakoți = (54 lakh)2 x 10' years]. Abhayadevasūri has also shown the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma as one third of purvakoți. The period of "dripping (niṣeka-kāla) extends over here to" thirty-three sagara." In the Bhagavati, there is no mention of the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma. In the Pannavaṇā also there is no mention of the period of dormancy of life-span-determining karma. The maximum duration of the lifespan-determining karma has been shown to be thirty-three sägaras plus one third of parvakoti, which is relative statement. The maximum duration of the life-spandetermining of the next birth, which is being bound, is thirty three sagaras. The one third of a purvakoți is duration of the life-span-determining karma, which is experienced in the present life and which when added to the life-span-determining that is being bound gives the duration of life-span-determining karma as thirtythree sagaras plus one third of a purvakoti. In the Bhagavati Vṛtti and the Cūrṇi of Sataka (Pañcasamgraha)," the period of dormancy is given to be one third of pūrvakoți and the period of karma-nişeka has been stated to be equal to total duration of karma (karma-sthiti) minus the period of dormancy. The maximum niṣeka-kāla of the life-span-determining karma is thirty three sägaras." See the chart below
