## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 560
**Further, it is said about the nature of the upheaval of Tejakaya and Vayukaya:**
**616.** "Just as a single grain of sand is insignificant compared to the vastness of the ocean, so too is the time taken for the upheaval of the Manuvaduga, Ucca, and the three natures of Tejakaya and Vayukaya, measured in an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya."
**Meaning:** The upheaval of the Manuvaduga, Ucca, and the three natures of Tejakaya and Vayukaya occurs in a time that is an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya. This is the measure of the time taken for the upheaval of all the existing entities.
**Explanation of the above:**
**617.** "If the upheaval of a single entity takes place in a fraction of a Muhurta, then how long will it take for the upheaval of the countless entities of Manuvaduga, etc., which are as vast as the ocean of numbers? By this method, it is proven that the upheaval of all entities takes place in a time that is an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya."
**Meaning:** If the upheaval of a single entity takes place in a fraction of a Muhurta, then the upheaval of countless entities, as vast as the ocean of numbers, will take place in a time that is an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya.
**Special Meaning:** The time taken for the upheaval of a single entity is an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya. This is the measure of the time taken for the upheaval of a single entity. The time taken for the upheaval of all entities is a Muhurta. This is the desired measure. By multiplying the desired measure by the measure of the time taken for the upheaval of a single entity and dividing by the measure of the time taken for the upheaval of all entities, we get an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya. The number of entities that are upheaved in a Muhurta is called a Kandaka.
**Further, it is said about the number of times Samyaktva, etc., are contradicted:**
**618.** "The living being can repeatedly abandon and then regain the states of Prathamopaśama Samyaktva, Vedaka Samyaktva, Desasanayama, and Anantanubandhi, up to a maximum of an infinitesimal fraction of a Palyasankhya times. After that, it attains the state of Siddhapad by rule."
