Gommatasara Karmakanda-765
The first and second sections of the first time period (40) are similar to each other. Similarly, the third section of the first time period (41) and the second section of the second time period (41) are also similar. In the same way, the last section of the first time period and the penultimate section of the second time period are similar. Similarly, the final sections of the second time period should be compared with the final sections of the third time period. In the same way, the above should be compared with the previous (past) sections.
The statement of the relative abundance and scarcity of the parasthanas is as follows: In the first time period of the downward progression, the lowest purity (1) is the most scarce, because there is no other parastana less than this in the downward progression. In the second time period, the lowest purity (40) is infinitely greater, because the lowest purity parastana of the second time period is located after crossing an infinite number of purity parasthanas through six-place order from the lowest purity parastana of the first time period. In this way, the lowest purity should be stated as infinitely multiplied in each time period until the end of the first nirvargana kandaka (first moment). From that (first nirvargana kandaka), the highest purity (162) in the first time period is infinitely greater, because the previous sequence of lowest purities that is obtained is the initial purity of the last section of the purity parasthanas of the first time period of the downward progression, and the highest purity of that last section is located after crossing an infinite number of parasthanas of the size of an infinite number of lokas through six-place order from the said initial purity. The highest purity (162) of the first time period of the first nirvargana kandaka is infinitely greater than the lowest purity (163) of the first section of the second nirvargana kandaka, because the highest purity of the first time period is located in the form of a fertile seed, being similar to the last parinama of the penultimate section of the second time period, and the lowest purity of the second nirvargana kandaka is located in the form of an eight-fold order, therefore it is infinitely greater. From this, the highest purity (205) of the second time period is infinitely greater, because the previous lowest purity (163) is in the form of the last parinama of the last section of the second time period of the downward progression, and this highest purity of the last section of the second time period is located after crossing an infinite number of lokas through six places from that, therefore it is infinitely greater than that. In this way, one nirvargana kandaka should be located in the amount of time equal to the duration of an antarmukhurta, and the relative abundance and scarcity of the lowest and highest parinamas above and below should be determined. All this relative abundance and scarcity should be determined by crossing the nirvargana kandakas in sequence, and again, the highest purity (690) of the last time period of the penultimate nirvargana kandaka is infinitely greater than the lowest purity (691) of the last time period of the downward progression; from that, the highest purity (744) of the first time period of the last nirvargana kandaka is infinitely greater. The relative abundance and scarcity of the above should be determined in this way until the last time period of the downward progression. Its visualization is as follows:
