The **Shataka** (century) is called the **Gunasthan** (state of qualities) and so on. This should be understood in the same way for the rest. Therefore, because the **Gunashranis** (series of qualities) are related to the **Gunasthanas**, the **Gatha** (verse) has explained the lowest and highest intervals of the **Gunasthanas**. The time it takes for a being to fall from a **Gunasthan** and then regain it is called the **Antarakaal** (interval time) of that **Gunasthan**.
Firstly, explaining the lowest interval of the **Gunasthanas**, it is said that the lowest **Antarakaal** of the second **Gunasthan** called **Sasaadan** is the **Asankhyat** (innumerable) part of a **Paly** (a unit of time) and the interval of the remaining **Gunasthanas** is **Antamuhurt** (a very short time). This is explained here.
The lowest **Antarakaal** of the **Sasaadan Gunasthan** is the **Asankhyat** part of a **Paly** and should be understood as follows: A being with **Mithyadrishti** (false perception) from the beginning, or a being with **Mithyadrishti** from the beginning who has **Udavalana** (overcoming) of **Samyaktvamohaniya** (hindrance to right faith) and **Mithyatvamohaniya** (hindrance to false perception), attains **Aupashmik Samyaktvam** (temporary right faith) and becomes **Sasaadan Samyagdristi** (right faith with complete knowledge) due to the arising of **Anantaanubandhi Kshaya** (infinitely binding passions). This being then falls into the **Mithyatva Gunasthan** (state of false perception). If the same being attains the **Sasaadan Gunasthan** again in the same sequence, it will take at least the **Asankhyat** part of a **Paly** to do so. The reason for this is that when a being falls from the **Sasaadan Gunasthan** into the **Mithyatva Gunasthan**, the **Samyaktvamohaniya** and **Mithyatvamohaniya** still exist. With these two natures present, **Aupashmik Samyaktvam** cannot be attained again, and without attaining **Aupashmik Samyaktvam**, the **Sasaadan Gunasthan** cannot be attained. Therefore, after falling into **Mithyatva**, the being continuously experiences the natures of both **Samyaktvamohaniya** and **Mithyatvamohaniya** karmas.

1. **Udavalana** is said to be the overcoming of a nature to transform it into another nature without the three **Karana** (causes) of **Yathapravritti** (natural tendency), **Adi** (beginning), and **Trikala** (three times).
