**Karmastava: Parishista**
**Pudgalparavartan: Lakshana and Meva**
It has been previously indicated that the time in the form of Pudgalparavartan is infinite. This infinite is equal to the infinite Utsarpini and the infinite Avasarpini. Therefore, some special descriptions are given here in relation to it! This Lok is filled with many types of Pudgal Varganas. These Varganas are both grahanyogya (grasp-able) and agrahanayogya (ungrasp-able). While the agrahanayogya Varganas exist but are not grasped, the grahanyogya Varganas have both the ability to be grasped and ungrasped. Such grahanyogya Varganas are of eight types:
1. Audarik Sharia Vargana, 2. Vaikriya Sharia Vargana, 3. Aharak Sharia Vargana, 4. Tejas Sharia Vargana, 5. Bhasha Vargana, 6. Pravasouchchvas Vargana, 7. Manova Vargana, 8. Karman Vargana.
These Varganas are increasingly subtle from the least to the most. And their comprehension is also increasingly less, in the measure of countless parts of a finger.
Out of the above mentioned grahanyogya Varganas, excluding the Aharak Sharia Vargana, 1. Siddha, 2. Nigoda Jisha, 3. Every ordinary plant, 4. Past, future, present, time of all three periods, 5. All Pudgal Paramanu, 6. Alokaakash. After combining these six, the amount obtained is multiplied three times, and if only knowledge and only vision are added as synonyms, then it will be called Utkrishtaanantanant.
1. (a) A group of Pudgal of the same type is called Vargana.
(b) Panchasangrah Ga. 15 (Bandhan Karan), Aavashyakaniyukti Ga. 36.
