Tattvārthasūtra
time known as half-time of whirling-round matter (ardhapudgala parivartana). When the residue of time is more than this, that soul is not capable of attaining the first stage of right belief (prathama samyaktua). The second kālalabdhi is with regard to the duration of karmas. The first stage of right belief is not attained when the duration of karmas is either at the maximum or at the minimum. If so, when is it attained? The suitability for the first stage of right belief arises when the karmas of less than kotākoți sāgaropama duration are bound, and when, owing to the purification of the soul, the existing karmas also are of duration of kotākoți sāgaropama less numerable thousand sāgaropama. The third kālalabdhi is with regard to birth (bhava). The worthy soul endowed with the five senses and the mind (samjñi), fully developed (paryāptaka) and purified (sarvaviśuddha), attains the first stage of right faith - subsidential belief (aupaśamika samyaktva). Besides, recollection of the previous births is also among the causes. Subsidential conduct (aupaśamika caritra) arises on the subsidence of all the deluding (mohanīya) karmas. Right belief – samyaktva – is mentioned first as it is the basis of right conduct (căritra).
The nine characteristics of the destructional (kṣāyika) disposition are described next.
