## Chapter 58: Description of the Time of Transition of State
**88.** There are two types of analysis of destruction in the case of various living beings: analysis of destruction of the superior state and analysis of destruction of the inferior state.
**89.** Just as the superior state-arousing has been described by giving its meaning, similarly, the analysis of destruction of the superior state should be described.
**90.** This is the analysis of destruction of the inferior state.
**91.** In the case of all the natures, perhaps all living beings are non-transitional in the inferior state-transition, perhaps many are non-transitional and one is transitional, perhaps many are non-transitional and many are transitional.
**92.** The remaining parts of the transition of state, i.e., quantity, field, and touch, should be understood in the same way as the division of states.
**93.** Now, we describe the time of transition of state in the case of various living beings.
**94.** How long is the time of transition of the superior state in the case of all the natures?
**95.** The minimum time for the transition of the superior state is one moment, and the maximum time is an immeasurable fraction of a palya-upam.
**96.** The special feature is that in the case of those who are not endowed with right faith, the time of transition of the superior state is multiplied by an immeasurable number of times due to the increase in the number of times they are separated from the right faith and due to the increase in the number of times they are attached to the last fruit.
