For the first three karma-types-that is, jñānavaraṇa, darśanavarana and vedaṇīya as also for antarāya the maximum duration is 30 crore-multiplied-by-crore sāgaropamas. 15.

For the rest—that is, for the jñānāvaraṇa, darśanāvaraṇa, antaraya, mohaniya, ayus-the minimum duration is a period less than one muhurta. 21.
For each karma-type the maximum duration that has been mentioned obtains in the case of a being who posseses five indriyas and is mithyādṛṣṭi, paryāpta, as well as samjñin; as for the minimum duration, it obtains differently for different karma-types.
