## Chapter 62: Explanation of the Dissolution of the Place of Arousal
**Verse 495**
**186.** How long is the time of entry for a being with 27 natures?
**187.** The minimum time is one *samaya* (moment).
**188.** The maximum time is an immeasurable fraction of a *palya-upam* (a unit of time).
**189.** How long is the time of entry for a being with 28 natures?
**190.** The minimum time is one *antar-muhurta* (a unit of time).
**191.** The maximum time is two times sixty-six *sagara-upam* (a unit of time) plus a little more.
**192.** The difference between these times should be understood by considering the *antar* (difference) of a single being according to the scriptures.
**193.** Now, we will discuss the dissolution of the place of arousal for different beings.
**194.** The minimum time for a being with 28, 27, 26, and 24 natures is one *samaya*. This is because, when a being with 27 natures, who has attained *upashma-samyak-drishti* (perfect knowledge), experiences *mithyatva* (false belief), *samyak-mithyatva* (mixed belief), or attains *vedaka-samyak-drishti* (perfect knowledge of the scriptures), or when a being with *sa-sadana-samyak-drishti* (perfect knowledge of the scriptures) experiences *mithyatva*, the minimum time of entry is one *samaya*. The maximum time of entry for a being with 26 natures is half a *pudgala-parivartan* (a unit of time).
**Explanation:**
A being who, during the first *samaya* of the remaining time of half a *pudgala-parivartan* in their cycle of transmigration, attains *upashma-samyak-drishti* and then, after remaining in *samyak-drishti* for the shortest possible time, an *antar-muhurta*, experiences *mithyatva*, and then, through the shortest possible time, attains *samyak-drishti* and *samyak-mithyatva*, and then, after entering the 26 natures, transmigrates for half a *pudgala-parivartan* and then, with the remaining time of an *antar-muhurta*, attains *samyak-drishti*, such a being has a slightly shorter time of entry for the 26 natures.
**Question:**
**186.** How long is the time of entry for a being with 27 natures?
**Answer:**
The minimum time is one *samaya* and the maximum time is an immeasurable fraction of a *palya-upam*. This is because the maximum time for the arousal of *samyak-mithyatva* is an immeasurable fraction of a *palya-upam*.
**Question:**
**189.** How long is the time of entry for a being with 28 natures?
**Answer:**
The minimum time is one *antar-muhurta* and the maximum time is two times sixty-six *sagara-upam* plus a little more.
**Explanation:**
A being who, after attaining *upashma-samyak-drishti* and then becoming a *vedaka-samyak-drishti*, enters the 28 natures and then, after the shortest possible time, an *antar-muhurta*, detaches from the infinite *kashaya* (passions) and enters the 24 natures, has a minimum time of entry of one *antar-muhurta*. The maximum time should be understood in the same way. It is important to note that the phrase "plus a little more" means that the time is slightly more than three times an immeasurable fraction of a *palya-upam*.
**Churnisutra:**
**192.** In the same way, the difference between the places of entry for a single being should be understood by considering the *antar* according to the scriptures.
**Churnisutra:**
**193.** Now, we will discuss the dissolution of the place of arousal for different beings. The 28, 27, 24, and 21 natures enter the *udaya-avali* (the stream of existence) according to the rules. This is because, for different beings...
