## The Fifth Karma Granth

Therefore, to know the number of breaths in one Muhurta, multiply 1 Muhurta x 2 Ghatika 4 37 Lav 7 Stoka 47 Ucchvas, which gives us 3773. In one Muhurta, a Nigodaya being is born 65536 times. Dividing 65536 by 3773, we get 17.1 as the quotient. Therefore, one should know that the duration of one Ksullak Bhav is slightly more than seventeen breaths. In other words, the duration of one Ksullak Bhav is slightly more than one-seventeenth of a breath, and in that same time, two hundred and fifty-six Avali occur.
According to modern time calculation, the duration of a Ksullak Bhav can be calculated as follows: one Muhurta has forty-eight minutes.
1. In Digambar literature, one breath is considered to be equal to 18 Ksullak Bhav. This is explained as follows:
"Tinisaaya Chattisa Chaavati Sahasgaani Maranaani. Anto Muhusakale Taavdiya Chav Khudhbhava." - Go. Jeevakand 123
A Layaparyaptak being dies 66336 times in one Ant Muhurta, and it also experiences that many births. Therefore, there are 66336 Ksullak Bhav in one Ant Muhurta. These Bhav are called Ksullak Bhav because there is no other Bhav with a shorter duration. The duration of each of these Bhav is one-eighteenth of a breath. Therefore, according to the Triranik, the duration of 66336 Bhav is 36856 breaths. This number of breaths is the duration of one Ant Muhurta for Layaparyaptak beings from the Earth-bodied to the five-sensed. There are 66336 Ksullak Bhav in one Ant Muhurta, with 80 for the two-sensed, 60 for the three-sensed, 40 for the four-sensed, 24 for the five-sensed, and 66132 for the one-sensed.
