## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 770
**The nature of Anivrittikaran is described as follows:**
Just as a being becomes differentiated by its body's form, color, etc., during the intended time of Anivrittikaran, it does not become differentiated by its results. In this case, the results are the same for all beings at every moment. These results are like a flame of extremely pure meditation, burning away the forest of karma, which is in the form of Anivritti.
**Explanation:**
In this case, the results of beings existing at the same time are all the same, and there is no other form. Similarly, one should understand the sameness of beings existing at the second and subsequent times. According to the measure of the Anivrittikaran time, there are four forms in the perspective of numbers, and the same time is the measure of an Antarmuhurta in the perspective of meaning.
From the first moment of entering Anivrittikaran, the last stage of A-purvakaran begins, excluding the special stage-section. From the previous stage-bond, another stage-bond begins, excluding the number of parts equal to the measure of a Pala-Upam. And from the destruction, the stage-section of the remaining part begins, equal to the infinite number of parts of the remaining part, but the quality-series-deposit remains the same as before. In this way, thousands of stage-sections are created, dividing the intended time of Anivrittikaran into a countable number of parts.
The destruction of the middle stage-sections, equal to the measure of an Antarmuhurta, excluding the lower and upper stages of the intended karmas, is called Antarakaran due to the special reason for their absence. At that time, the destruction takes place for the duration of the stage-bond time or the stage-section-arising time. That is, the destruction (absence) of the stage-destructions equal to the number of parts of the quality-series-extent, from the beginning (quality-series-top) of the quality-series-deposit, takes place.
From the destruction downwards, the karma-stage, i.e., from the first stage, and from the second stage (karma-stage above the destruction), there is continuous coming and going until the coming and going remain in the first stage. The coming of the karma-atoms of the second stage into the first stage due to downward attraction is called Aagal. The going of the karma-atoms of the first stage into the second stage due to upward attraction is called Pratyaagal.
When the coming and going remain in the first stage, the quality-series of the intended karmas does not come and go, but arises from the Pratyaavali itself. The remaining part of the first stage, equal to the coming,
