**Ati-sthapanavali**
**Udayavali** ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... | **Achala-avali**
**Now, the characteristics of Niseka are stated:**
**Aabaahuuniyakammatthidi nisego du sattakammaanam.**
**Auss nisego pun sagatthidi hodi niyamen.** ||160||
**Meaning:** The measure of the time periods of the seven karmas, excluding the time of obstruction, is the Niseka of the seven karmas. The Niseka of the Ayu karma is in accordance with its own state, this is to be known by rule.
**Special Meaning:** To know the Niseka structure of the seven karmas, excluding the time of obstruction, is to know the state of the karma according to its own state. The group of karma-paramanus that exists at each moment is one Niseka. Thus, to know the measure of the time periods is to know the measure of the Nisekas, after subtracting the time of obstruction from the total state of the desired karma. In this way, one should know the Niseka structure of the seven karmas, and the measure of the Nisekas is the same as the state of the Ayu karma. Here, the obstruction is not subtracted, because the obstruction of the Ayu karma is already complete in the previous birth. In the subsequent Paryaya that is taken, the state of the Ayu karma is present for a certain amount of time. In all these times, from the first moment to the last moment, one Niseka is consumed at each moment. Therefore, the measure of the time periods is the same as the measure of the Nisekas of the Ayu karma.
**Now, the order of the Nisekas is stated:**
**Aabaham bolaaviya padhamani-segammi dey bahugam tu.**
**Tatto viseshiinam vidiyassaadimani-seotti.** ||161||
**Meaning:** The time after the obstruction is the first Niseka of the first Guna-hani. In this, a lot of substance is given. From the second Niseka onwards, the substance is given in a decreasing order of fourfoldness, up to the first Niseka of the second Guna-hani.
