After an infinite number of births, a soul, having fallen from the subtle-perception (Sookshma-Samparaya) and tranquil-delusion (Upashanta-Moha) Gunasthanas of the A-Poorva-Karana, Anivriti-Karana, and Upashma श्रेणी ( श्रेणी ) (categories) of Mataka-Drishti, Desh-Virati, Pramatta, Apramatta, and Upashma, again experiences those deaths. Therefore, their minimum interval is only one Anta-Muhurta. Because when a soul ascends the Upashma श्रेणी ( श्रेणी ) (category) and reaches the eleventh Gunasthana, and then falls from there and descends gradually to the first Mithyatva Gunasthana, and then again reaches the eleventh Gunasthana in one Anta-Muhurta. Because there is a provision for ascending the Upashma श्रेणी ( श्रेणी ) (category) twice in one birth. At that time, the minimum interval of each of the remaining Gunasthanas, except for the mixed Gunasthana, is Anta-Muhurta.
The reason for excluding the mixed Gunasthana is that the soul does not go to the mixed Gunasthana after falling from the श्रेणी ( श्रेणी ) (category). Therefore, when the soul does not ascend the Auni, the minimum interval from Mithya-Drishti to Apramatta Gunasthana, except for the mixed Gunasthana and Sasadan, is Anta-Muhurta. Because these Gunasthanas can be regained after Anta-Muhurta. In this way, one should understand the minimum interval of the Gunasthanas.
Now, while telling the interval of the Gunasthanas in relation to the excellent, first we will tell the interval of the Mithyatva Gunasthana. It is said that Guru Mindi Be Chhasthi - that is, the excellent interval of the Mithyatva Gunasthana is two Chhiya-Sagar, that is, 66 + 66 = 132 Sagars. It is like this: a soul, due to pure results, leaves the Mithyatva Gunasthana and attains Samyaktva. After completing the excellent time of 66 Sagars of Kshayo-Upashma Samyaktva, the soul remains in Samya-Mithyatva for Anta-Muhurta.
