The duration of the prathama sthiti is of an antaramuhuurta {less than 48 minutes and the duration of the dvitiiya sthiti is of slightly less than krodaakrodii saagaropama {an inordinately enormous division of time, the duration of which is incomprehensible to the average mind and cannot be expressed in mathematical terms}
Thus, juxtaposed between the prathama sthiti and dvitiiya sthiti {the central section between the upper and lower sections, there exists an oasis of purity known as Upashamaadddhaa, which is not vitiated by the presence of false belief (mithyaatva mohniiya). In simple term the space is created in soul where the mityaatva mohniya karmas are not present and are cleaned out.
