## The Statement of the Right Time
**Painful Events** - As a result of various sorrows, one has to experience pain in the form of grief, weeping, lamentations, etc. In the realm of gods, due to the high and low positions of gods, those in lower positions experience sorrow, envy, inferior games and entertainment, and after the decline of merit, they suffer various kinds of pain. The implication is that those who hold false doctrines repeatedly experience these sorrows. The latter part of this verse should be combined with the latter part of all the verses. The rest is easy to understand until the end.
**High and Low**
**Naya Putra**
Those who go to high and low places will enter the womb endlessly.
The great hero, the best Jina, Mahavira, says so.
-
They go, they will be born in the womb endlessly. Mahavira, the best Jina, says so. ||27||
**Translation** - The great hero, the descendant of the knowers, Mahavira, declared that those who hold false views wander in the best and worst realms and repeatedly enter the womb, are born, and die.
**Commentary** - The word "Ucchavacani" refers to the various types of dwelling places, both low and high, that they go to. They wander from womb to womb, entering endlessly and without interruption. Sudharmaswami says to Jambuswami, "I say this according to the command of the Tirthankara, not according to my own intellect. I say what I have heard from the Tirthankara. This refutes the theory of momentariness."
**End of the First Chapter of the Samakhya**
The commentary concludes the previous context by saying that those who have been discussed go to different dwelling places, both low and high, in different realms. They wander from one womb to another. This cycle continues endlessly and uninterrupted. Sudharmaswami says to Jambuswami, "Jambuswami, I speak only what is commanded by the Tirthankara. I do not speak from my own intellect. I speak only what I have heard from the Tirthankara, the Lord Mahavira, who established the path of Dharma. This refutes the theory of momentariness because if the one who heard was momentary, then the listener would have perished at that very moment. How can I, who am speaking today, be the listener? But the reality is that I, the listener and speaker, exist today in the same form. I am speaking what I heard. This proves the theory of momentariness to be false."
Thus, the first chapter of the Samakhya, called "Time," ends.
