**[5.1] **The duration of the *alpa-tar-samkrama* (minor transition) in *mithyatva* (falsehood) is one *samaya* (moment) or two *samaya*s, or it increases progressively with each *samaya* until it reaches two *samaya*s less than the *avali* (period) of the *du-samaya* (two moments). Alternatively, the *alpa-tar-samkrama* in *mithyatva* is *anta-muhurta* (the last moment of the *muhurta*) compared to the *guna-samkrama* (transition of qualities). **[300-302]**
**[5.2] **How long is the *alpa-tar-samkrama* in *mithyatva*? **[303]**
**[5.3] **The *alpa-tar-samkrama* in *mithyatva* is one *samaya*, two *samaya*s, and so on, increasing progressively with each *samaya* until it reaches two *samaya*s less than the *avali* of the *du-samaya*. Alternatively, the *alpa-tar-samkrama* in *mithyatva* is *anta-muhurta* compared to the *veda-samyag-drishti* (right faith). From there, it increases progressively with each *samaya*, one *samaya*, two *samaya*s, and so on, until it reaches *chha-yasath-sagaro-upam* (sixty-six oceans) plus one, which is the *utkrista-kala* (best time) for the *alpa-tar-samkrama* in *mithyatva*. **[304-306]**
**[5.4] **How long is the *avasthita-samkrama* (established transition) in *mithyatva*? **[307]**
**[5.5] **As explained previously, when a *mithyatva* (falsehood) arises from a *sammatta* (right faith), the *avattavya-samkrama* (transition to be experienced) occurs in the first *samaya* due to the *vijjha-dasaka* (tenfold knowledge). In the *vidya-adi* (knowledge-based) and other *samaya*s, the *mithyatva* increases progressively with each *samaya* due to the *bandhana-vaka-vadha-samaya-prabaddha-vadha-avali* (the period of the destruction of the bonds of the *vaka-vadha* (destruction of the *vaka*)), and the *mithyatva* becomes established in the form of *bhujaga-ara* (snake-like) *samkrama* (transition). The *mithyatva* remains in this state for the duration of the *avali* of the *samaya*s. **[1]**
**[5.6] **How is that? When a *mithyatva* arises from a *sammatta* (right faith), the *mithyatva* increases progressively with each *samaya* due to the *niratara-udaya-avali* (continuous rising period) of the *pavis-mana-go-vuccha-hinto* (the one who enters the *pavis-mana* (state of entering) and is called *go* (cow)), and the *avattavya-samkrama* occurs in the first *samaya* due to the *veda-sammatta-padivanna* (the *padivanna* (division) of the *veda-sammatta* (right faith)). Then, in the *vidya-adi* (knowledge-based) *samaya*s, the *mithyatva* becomes established in the form of *bhujaga-ara* (snake-like) *samkrama* (transition) due to the *niratara-bhujaga-ara-samkrama* (continuous snake-like transition) of the *puvu-tta-nava-vaka-vadha-vase* (the one who has destroyed the *nava-vaka-vadha* (ninefold destruction of the *vaka*)), and the *mithyatva* remains in this state for the duration of the *avali* of the *samaya*s. **[2]**
**[5.7] **As explained, when the *dasana-moha* (delusion of the senses) is present, the *bhujaga-ara-samkrama* (snake-like transition) continues until the *guna-samkrama* (transition of qualities) occurs. The *paya-ratara-asabha-vato* (the one who is in the state of *paya-ratara* (continuous flow)) is present there. The *guna-samkrama-kala* (time of the transition of qualities) is *anta-muhurta* (the last moment of the *muhurta*). Therefore, there is no contradiction in obtaining the *paya-utkrista-kala* (best time of the *paya*). **[3]**
**[5.8] **As explained, when a *mithyatva* arises from a *sammatta* (right faith) in the first *samaya*, the *avattavya-samkrama* (transition to be experienced) occurs. In the *vidya-samaya* (knowledge-based *samaya*), the *mithyatva* becomes established in the form of *bhujaga-ara* (snake-like) *samkrama* (transition) due to the *appa-yara-samkrama* (minor transition) and the *charim-avali-mithyatva-bandha-vase* (the bond of the *charim-avali* (last period) *mithyatva*). The *mithyatva* remains in this state for the duration of the *avali* of the *samaya*s. This is how it is said that the *mithyatva* continues until the *avali* of the *du-samaya* (two moments). The *charim-viyappa* (last explanation) is as follows: When the *avattavya-samkrama* (transition to be experienced) occurs in the first *samaya*, the *appa-yara-samkrama* (minor transition) occurs in all the *vidya-adi* (knowledge-based) *samaya*s. Then, in the *charim-samaya* (last *samaya*) of the *padham-avali* (first period), the *mithyatva* becomes established in the form of *bhujaga-ara* (snake-like) *samkrama* (transition) due to the *an-nyara-samkrama* (other transition), and the *mithyatva* remains in this state for the duration of the *avali* of the *du-samaya* (two moments). **[4]**
**[5.9] **As explained, a *mithyatva* arises from a *sammatta* (right faith) due to the *di-magga* (two paths). In the *charim-samaya* (last *samaya*) of the *padham-avali* (first period), the *mithyatva* becomes established in the form of *bhujaga-ara* (snake-like) *samkrama* (transition) due to the *puvu-tta-na-a-ena* (the one who has destroyed the *na-a-ena* (the *na-a* (not) and *ena* (this))). Then, the *appa-yara-samkrama* (minor transition) occurs, and the *mithyatva* remains in this state for the duration of the *avali* of the *samaya*s. The *mithyatva* becomes established in the form of *an-nyara-guna* (other qualities) due to the *sam-ma-am-ichchhat-ta-an-nyara-guna* (the qualities of the one who desires the *sam-ma-am* (right faith)). The *appa-yara-kala-viyappa* (explanation of the time of the minor transition) is obtained for the duration of the *anta-muhurta* (the last moment of the *muhurta*). **[5]**
**[5.10] **As explained, when a *sammatta* (right faith) arises from an *an-adi-mithyatva* (eternal falsehood), the *guna-samkrama* (transition of qualities) occurs for the duration of the *anta-muhurta* (the last moment of the *muhurta*). Then, the *vijjha-dasaka* (tenfold knowledge) arises, and the *appa-yara-samkrama* (minor transition) continues progressively until the *anta-muhurta* (the last moment of the *muhurta*). The *sama-sammatta-kala-seso* (the remaining time of the *sama-sammatta* (right faith)) is the *veda-sammatta-kala* (time of the *veda-sammatta* (right faith)), which is *desa-na-chha-vathi-sagaro-upam* (sixty-six oceans of the *desa-na* (country)). The *anta-muhurta* (the last moment of the *muhurta*) is the *khav-ana-a-an-mutthi-dat-sa* (the one who is about to be released from the *khav-ana* (eating)). **[6]**
