The duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge (avagrahajnana) related to the auditory sense organ is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge related to the vital sense organ. The duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge related to the vital sense organ is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge related to the gustatory sense organ. The duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge related to the gustatory sense organ is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of mano-yoga. The duration of the lowest stage of mano-yoga is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of vac-yoga. The duration of the lowest stage of vac-yoga is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of kaya-yoga. The duration of the lowest stage of kaya-yoga is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge related to the tactile sense organ. The duration of the lowest stage of apprehension knowledge related to the tactile sense organ is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of avadhi-jnana. The duration of the lowest stage of avadhi-jnana is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of ihajnana. The duration of the lowest stage of ihajnana is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of shruta-jnana. The duration of the lowest stage of shruta-jnana is especially longer than the duration of the lowest stage of ucchalana.
Since the general mention of the lowest stage of avadhi and ihajnana has been made, it should be understood that the apprehension and intuition knowledge related to any of the sense organs, such as touch, taste, etc., is included. The reason for not making a separate mention of dharana-jnana is that it has been included within avadhi-jnana, because only the firm avadhi-jnana is called dharana.
The lowest duration of the kevaldarshana, kevala-jnana of the Tirthankaras, and the shukla-leshya of the sakasaya-jiva; the lowest duration of the ekatva-vikalpa-avicara-shukla-dhyana, prthaktva-vikalpa-vicara-shukla-dhyana, pratipati-upashanta-kasaya, aroha-upashanta-kasaya, and ksapaka-sukshma-samparaya-samyata, are successively especially longer.
Vishesha-artha - The lowest duration of the kevaldarshana, kevala-jnana of the Tirthankaras, and the shukla-leshya of the sakasaya-jiva, though mutually similar, is especially longer than the lowest duration of ucchalana. Therefore, the lowest duration of the ekatva-vikalpa-avicara-shukla-dhyana is especially longer. The lowest duration of the prthaktva-vikalpa-vicara-shukla-dhyana is especially longer than the lowest duration of the ekatva-vikalpa-avicara-shukla-dhyana. The lowest duration of the pratipati-upashanta-kasaya-gunasthana-falling sukshma-samparaya-samyata is especially longer than the lowest duration of the prthaktva-vikalpa-vicara-shukla-dhyana. The lowest duration of the aroha-upashanta-kasaya-gunasthana-rising sukshma-samparaya-samyata is especially longer than the lowest duration of the pratipati-sukshma-samparaya-samyata. The lowest duration of the ksapaka-shreni-vala sukshma-samparaya-samyata is especially longer than the lowest duration of the aroha-upashanta-kasaya-gunasthana-rising sukshma-samparaya-samyata.
