## Gatha 122-124
## Payapti 163
The time period of the *Praudarikamisrakayayog* (the state of being born as a human after death) for the *Vimana* dwelling gods, who are nurtured in happiness and devoid of suffering, is long because they are slow in their *yog* (spiritual progress) and thus take a long time to absorb the subtle *pudgalas* (matter particles). Or, even if their *yog* is great and they absorb many *pudgalas*, the time period for such a being is still long because they are unable to quickly complete their *paryaptis* (spiritual attainments) due to their life of luxury and indulgence.
The time period of *aparyapti* (non-attainment) for those born in *Vimana* dwelling gods is short, while it is long for those born in hell. A *dravyalingi* (one who has renounced all possessions) ascetic was born in the highest *granveyaka* (heavenly realm) and attained *paryapti* in the shortest possible time, an *antarmuhurta* (a fraction of a moment). A *samyagdristi* (rightly-seeing) *bhavalingi* (one who has renounced all attachments) ascetic, who had attained *sarvarth-siddhi* (perfection in all aspects), was born in the *Vimana* dwelling gods and attained *paryapti* in the shortest possible time, an *antarmuhurta*. A *tiryanch* (animal) or a human, a *mithyadristi* (wrongly-seeing) being, was born in the hells of the seventh earth and attained *paryapti* in the longest possible time, an *antarmuhurta*. A *baddhanaraka* (bound to hell) human, who attained *samyaktva* (right faith), destroyed the *darshanamohaniya* (veil of perception), and was born in the hells of the first earth, attained *paryapti* in the longest possible time, an *antarmuhurta*. Both these *jghanakalas* (inferior times) are multiplied by the number of *utkrushtkalas* (superior times).
The nature of the *labdhyaparyaptak* (one who has attained *paryapti*) is...
The number of *bhavas* (existences) related to *ekendriya* (one sense), *vikaleendriya* (impaired senses), and *sakaleendriya* (all senses) of the *utkrushtbhavas* (superior existences) of the *sadyaparyaptak* (one who is about to attain *paryapti*) and the clear description of the *bhavas* related to *ekendriya*...
**Gatha 122**
"The *antarmuhurta* (fraction of a moment) is the time of death for the *aparyaptak* (one who has not attained *paryapti*).
**Gatha 123**
"Three hundred and thirty-six, twenty-six thousand *maranarins* (deaths) are the *antarmuhurta* for the *khuddhabhava* (small existence).
**Gatha 124**
"Sixty *talas* (a unit of time), twenty-four *viyala* (a unit of time) for the *panchakhya* (five senses), sixty thousand, and thirty-two *meyavakhya* (a unit of time) for the *sakaleendriya* (all senses)."
