There is no rule for the sequential origin of all four, *avagraha* etc., because the origin of *samshaya* (doubt) is not seen after *avagraha* according to any rule. Without *samshaya*, there is no desire for the specific, so *iha* (desire) does not arise after *pravagraha* according to any rule, and *nirnaya* (decision) does not arise from *iha* according to any rule, because *iha* perception is seen somewhere that does not produce *nirnaya*. *Dharana* knowledge does not arise from *avaya* according to any rule, because there is also *vyabhichar* (deviation) in it. Therefore, all four knowledges from *avagraha* to *dharana* are *matijnana* (knowledge of the mind). That is, the origin of all four knowledges is always *amasha* (non-sequential), and due to the influence of this rule, the four are proven to be *mita* (limited). If all four were *matijnana* in nature, then all four would have to occur sequentially according to a rule. Because all four of these knowledges arise from the senses, and secondly, these knowledges are the objects of the object that is made the object by the knowledge arising from the senses, therefore these four knowledges (*avagraha*, *iha*, *avaya*, *dharana*) are called *matijnana*.
Now, the short duration of *iha* etc. is stated.
The duration of *avagraha* arising from the senses is particularly longer than the duration of *darshanopयोग* (use of perception). From this, the duration of *avagraha* knowledge arising from the auditory sense is particularly longer. From this, the duration of *pravagraha* knowledge arising from the olfactory sense is particularly longer. From this, the duration of *avagraha* knowledge arising from the gustatory sense is particularly longer. From this, the duration of *manoyoga* (mental application) is particularly longer. From this, the duration of *bachanayoga* (verbal application) is particularly longer. From this, the duration of *kayayoga* (physical application) is particularly longer. From this, the duration of *avagraha* knowledge arising from the tactile sense is particularly longer. In all cases, the proof of the specific should be taken as numerical.
**Doubt:** Why is the short duration of *avagraha* knowledge arising from the mind not stated?
**Solution:** The duration of *avagraha* knowledge arising from the mind is included in the duration of *manoyoga*, therefore it is not stated separately.
The duration of *avaya* knowledge is particularly longer than the duration of *avagraha* knowledge arising from the tactile sense. This duration of *avaya* knowledge is the same for all senses. The duration of *iha* is particularly longer than the said duration of *avaya*.
The rest is easy.
