## Verse 66.671
**Maharamarga /733**
The duration of the **paharak** state is as numerous as the countless parts of an angul (finger). The duration of the **anahaarak** state in the karmic body is three moments.
**Explanation:** The duration of the **paharak** state is the longest for all living beings, but for a single being, the shortest duration of the **paharak** state is three moments less than the **antmuhurt** (the last moment). For example, a being born in the realm of **sukshma ekendriya** (minute single-sensed beings) after three **moḍe** (transformations) becomes a **paharak** in the fourth moment. Then, after consuming food, it is cut off by the **kadali ghat** (the blow of the banana tree) and finally exits through another transformation. This being experiences only three moments less than the **antmuhurt** as the shortest duration of the **paharak** state. The longest duration of the **paharak** state is as numerous as the countless parts of an angul, extending to the countless **akspirani-utsapini** (inhalation-exhalation) moments.
The shortest duration of the **anahaarak** state for a single being is one moment, as this is the duration experienced by beings born after one transformation. The longest duration of the **anahaarak** state is three moments, as this is the duration experienced by beings who are **samudghat** (fully developed) and have three transformations. The longest duration of the **anahaarak** state is the **antmuhurt**, as this is the duration experienced by **ayogikevali** (non-liberated) beings. Alternatively, it is equal to the duration of the pronunciation of five short syllables.
The number of **paharak** and **anahaarak** beings is equal to the number of beings with karmic bodies. The number of **paharak** beings is the remainder after subtracting the number of beings with karmic bodies from the total number of beings in the world.
**Explanation:** If the entire population of beings is accumulated in the **antmuhurt** (last moment) of the **sandhyat pavali** (evening twilight), then how much will be accumulated in three moments? By multiplying the desired quantity by the fruit quantity and dividing the product by the standard quantity, we get the total number of beings divided by the **antmuhurt**. This is the number of **anahaarak** beings. Here, the number of **ayogi** (non-liberated) beings is significant, because:
