The fifth karma granthi (bond) is called **Panchama Karma Granthi**. When a soul departs from there, it attains **Kshayopa-shama** and **Samyak Darshan** (right faith). If it does not attain liberation within 66 **Sagars** (oceans of time), it inevitably falls back into **Mithyatva** (false belief). Thus, the difference between the highest and lowest duration of the **Mithyatva** state is slightly more than 66 Sagars, or 132 Sagars.
The difference between the highest and lowest duration of the remaining **Gunasthanas** (states of being) from **Sasa-dana** to **Upashanta-moha** is slightly less than half a **Pudal Paravarta** (a unit of time). This is because a soul, after falling from these **Gunasthanas**, wanders in the cycle of birth and death for a period slightly less than half a **Pudal Paravarta**, and then again attains those **Gunasthanas**. Therefore, the difference between the highest and lowest duration of these **Gunasthanas** is considered to be slightly less than half a **Pudal Paravarta**.
The reason why there is no difference between **Kshina-moha**, **Sayogika-kevali**, and **Ayogika-kevali** **Gunasthanas** has been explained earlier. Once attained, these **Gunasthanas** are not lost again. This means that once these **Gunasthanas** are attained, they do not decay, eliminating the need to consider the highest or lowest duration.
After explaining the highest and lowest duration of **Gunasthanas**, the next verses will elaborate on the nature of **Palyopam** and **Ardha-Pudal Paravarta** in the context of the duration of time. First, the nature of **Palyopam** will be explained.
**Verse 8:**
> **Uddharam-ashakhita-pali-ya tiha samaya-vasa-sayasam-aye.**
> **Fesa-vaharo vi-vo-hi-a-un-saha-pari-mana.**
This is also explained in the **Pancha-Sangraha** (five collections) regarding the difference between **Gunasthanas**.
**Verse 5:**
> **Pali-ya-san-kho sa-sa-yana-tara-se-sa-yana-manta-muh.**
> **Mis-sa be chha-sat-ti i-para-na-po-ggasa-vato.**
