Cauttho Uddeso
Section-4
[Introductory Note by English Translators
An entity passes through time. When an entity comes into an existence, it has no samaya (indivisible time-unit). Technically, it is called apradesa, literally, it means 'without samaya' or precisely speaking 'with only one samaya'. In the second instant of its duration, the entity has two-samayas and so on. Then the entity is called sapradesa with reference to its temporal extention or duration. We use the word 'uni-duration' for apradeśa and 'multi-duration" for sapradeśa, "multi" standing for duration of two samayas, three samayas, etc..]
