**Special Meaning:** The explanation of the minimum duration for twenty-five Sankramas is as follows:
The twenty-six Prakṛtis becoming Sankrama, which are stirred up by a Mithyadṛṣṭi Jiva who is moving towards Upasama-Samyaktv from Samyag-Mithyatva, become Sankrama in the second extreme Samaya of the first state of Mithyatva, and then become Sankrama again in the final Samaya. Thus, the minimum duration is only one Samaya.
Or, the twenty-eight Prakṛtis becoming Sankrama, which are stirred up by a Jiva who is moving towards Upasama-Samyaktv from Upāya-Samyaktv, become Sankrama in the final Samaya of the first state of Mithyatva, and then become Sankrama again in the final Samaya. Thus, the minimum duration is only one Samaya.
Or, the twenty-four Prakṛtis becoming Sankrama, which are stirred up by a Jiva who is moving towards Upasama-Samyaktv from Upāya-Samyaktv, become Sankrama in the final Samaya of the first state of Mithyatva, and then become Sankrama again in the final Samaya. Thus, the minimum duration is only one Samaya.
The explanation of the maximum duration for twenty-five Sankramas is as follows:
A Jiva who is Anadi-Mithyadṛṣṭi, becomes Samyaktv in the beginning of the Ardha-Pula-Parivartan, and then becomes Mithyatva again after staying in Samyaktv for a minimum duration of one Antar-Muhurta. From there, the Jiva begins to stir up the Samyag-Mithyatva and Samyaktv Prakṛtis, and becomes Sankrama for twenty-five Prakṛtis. Then, the Jiva wanders in the world for the duration of the Desona-Artha-Pula-Parivartan, and then becomes Mithyatva again after staying in the world for a minimum duration of one Antar-Muhurta.
