## Chapter 58: Elucidation of the Transition Stages and Time
**299**
A being with 23 **Prakritis** became a **Samkramak** (transitional being) and then died after some time, becoming a **Samkramak** with 23 **Prakritis**. Thus, a single time period constitutes the **Jghanya Kala** (minimum time) for this transition stage.
One should know that the **Utkrishta Kala** (maximum time) for the 13 **Prakriti** transition stage is the time a **Kshapak** (one who destroys the **Kshayas** (negative karmas)) takes to destroy the eight **Madhyama Kshayas** (medium-level negative karmas) until the commencement of **Anupoorvi Samkran** (sequential transition).
The **Jghanya Kala** for the 12 **Prakriti** transition stage is as follows: A **Upshamak** (one who pacifies the **Kshayas**) with 21 **Prakritis**, after pacifying the eight **Nokpayas** (minor negative karmas) in sequence, becomes a **Samkramak** with 12 **Prakritis** for one time period and then dies, being reborn as a Deva (god) with 21 **Prakritis**. Thus, a single time period constitutes the **Jghanya Kala** for this transition stage.
The **Utkrishta Kala** for this transition stage, which is determined by the **Antarmuhurt** (inner moment), is explained as follows: A **Samyata** (one who is restrained) who is striving to destroy the **Charitramoh** (attachment to conduct) undergoes **Anupoorvi Samkran** and remains a **Samkramak** until the destruction of **Napumsakaved** (karma of impotence).
The **Jghanya Kala** for the 11 **Prakriti** transition stage is as follows: A **Upshamak** with 21 **Prakritis**, after pacifying the nine **Nokpayas** in sequence, becomes a **Samkramak** with 11 **Prakritis** for one time period and then dies, becoming a Deva. Thus, a single time period constitutes the **Jghanya Kala** for this transition stage.
The **Utkrishta Kala** for this transition stage, which is determined by the **Antarmuhurt**, is explained as follows: A **Kshapak** who destroys the **Napumsakaved** remains a **Samkramak** until the destruction of **Strived** (karma of being a woman).
The **Jghanya Kala** for the 10 **Prakriti** transition stage, which is determined by a single time period, is as follows: A **Upshamak** with 24 **Prakritis**, after being transformed by pacifying the three types of **Krodha** (anger), becomes a **Samkramak** with 10 **Prakritis** for one time period and then dies, being reborn as a Deva with 23 **Prakritis**. Thus, the **Jghanya Kala** for this transition stage is established.
One should know that the **Utkrishta Kala** for the 10 **Prakriti** transition stage is the entire time period during which a **Kshapak** destroys the six **Nokpayas**.
The **Jghanya Kala** and **Utkrishta Kala** for the 8 **Prakriti** transition stage are as follows: A **Upshamak** with 24 **Prakritis**, after pacifying both **Madhyama Man Kshayas** (medium-level negative karmas of the mind), becomes a **Samkramak** with 8 **Prakritis** for one time period and then dies, being reborn as a Deva. Thus, a single time period constitutes the **Jghanya Kala**.
The **Utkrishta Kala** for this transition stage is explained as follows: A **Upshamak** with 21 **Prakritis**, after pacifying the nine **Nokpayas** and the three types of **Krodha** in sequence, becomes a **Samkramak** with 8 **Prakritis** and remains in that state for the **Antarmuhurt**, pacifying both **Madhyama Man Kshayas** and becoming a **Samkramak** with 6 **Prakritis**. Thus, the **Utkrishta Kala** for the 8 **Prakriti** transition stage is determined by the **Antarmuhurt** during which both **Madhyama Man Kshayas** are pacified.
