## Chapter 42: The Sutra on the Duration of Kshaya
**[Page 2 of 2]**
**Time:** Just as a subtle, subtle-samparaya-samyata-gunasthan-dwelling being, belonging to the Upshamshreni, remains in the Upshantakapya gunasthan for a single moment, and after death becomes a deva with the arising of Lobhakapya, in the same way, the shortest duration of Raga is one moment. The longest duration of Raga is an Antarmuhurta. For example, a being experiences the highest intensity of Raga for the duration of an Antarmuhurta due to the intense arising of Lobhakshaya. When the Antarmuhurta ends, the intense arising of Krodhakshaya occurs, and the being, having experienced Raga, becomes aware of Dvesha. The being experiences Dvesha for the duration of the highest Antarmuhurta, and then, due to the arising of Lobhakapya, becomes aware of Raga again. In this way, the longest duration is established. Similarly, one should understand the shortest and longest durations of Raga in other Marganas. It is important to note that the shortest duration of Raga, which is one moment, is not possible in all cases, but one should determine it as accurately as possible without contradicting the Agamas.
**Duration of Dvesha:** With respect to Ogh, the shortest and longest durations of Dvesha are an Antarmuhurta. For example, a being, who becomes aware of Dvesha due to the arising of Krodhakshaya, experiences Raga due to the arising of Lobhakapya after the duration of his Kshaya ends. The being experiences Raga for the duration of the shortest Antarmuhurta, and then becomes Krodhakshaya again. In this way, the shortest duration is established. Similarly, one should understand the longest duration. The only difference is that the longest duration of a being who becomes aware of Dvesha, experiences Raga for the duration of the highest Antarmuhurta, and then becomes Dvesha again. With respect to Adesh, the shortest and longest durations of Dvesha are also an Antarmuhurta, so one should apply it accordingly.
**(4) Nana Jeevehi Bhangavichayanugam:** The Anuyogadwar that describes the possible interruptions of Raga and Dvesha in different beings is called "Nana Jeevehi Bhangavichayanugam." This Anuyogadwar is also described with respect to Ogh and Adesh. With respect to Ogh, there is no interruption, because Raga is found up to the tenth gunasthan according to the rules, and Dvesha is found up to the ninth gunasthan. Similarly, one should understand Nana Jeevehi Bhangavichayanugam in Marganas. Only in some Marganas, such as Lavdhyaparapya Manushya, Vaikriyikamishrakayayogi, Aharakkayayogi, Aharakamishrakayayogi, Apgatvedi, etc., there are eight interruptions each related to Raga and Dvesha. These eight interruptions are: (1) Syat Raga, (2) Syat Noraga, (3) Syat Anek Raga, (4) Syat Anek Noraga, (5) Syat Ek Raga and Ek Noraga, (6) Syat Ek Raga and Anek Noraga, (7) Syat Ek Noraga and Anek Raga, and (8) Syat Anek Raga and Anek Noraga. Similarly, one should understand the eight interruptions related to Dvesha, such as Syat Dvesha, Syat Novesha, etc.
**(5) Satprarpana:** The Prarpana that describes the existence of beings is called Satprarpana. This is also described in two ways with respect to Ogh and Adesh. With respect to Ogh, Mithya...
