This is now explained in detail:
There can be as many categories of **karma** **adhyaavasayas** as there are times in a **guna-sthana**. Each category may include an infinite number of **adhyaavasayas** of infinite **trikaalik** beings. However, since all **adhyaavasayas** in each category are equal in purity, the **adhyaavasaya-sthana** of each category is the same. But the **adhyaavasaya-sthana** of the first time - the **adhyaavasayas** of the first category - are infinitely purer than the **adhyaavasaya-sthana** of the second time - the **adhyaavasayas** of the second category. Similarly, the **adhyaavasaya-sthana** of the second, third, fourth, etc., up to the ninth **guna-sthana** at the final time, should be understood as infinitely purer than the **adhyaavasaya-sthana** of the previous times.
Although there is purity in the **adhyaavasayas** of the eighth and ninth **guna-sthana**, they have their own unique characteristics. For example, in the eighth **guna-sthana**, the **adhyaavasayas** of the infinite **trikaalik** beings who are contemporary can be divided into countless categories due to the rapid rate of purification, but in the ninth **guna-sthana**, there is only one category due to the equal purity of the **adhyaavasayas** of the infinite **kaalik** beings who are contemporary. Compared to the previous **guna-sthana**, the proportion of **kṣaya** decreases in the subsequent **guna-sthana**, and the purity of the results of the being increases according to the decrease in **kṣaya**. The purity in the ninth **guna-sthana** is so much higher than in the eighth **guna-sthana** that the differences in its **adhyaavasayas** are much less than the differences in the **adhyaavasayas** of the eighth **guna-sthana**.
Beings who attain the ninth **guna-sthana** are of two types: (1) **upshamka** and (2) **kṣapka**. Those who are...
