## Sixth Karma Granth
This section discusses the twenty-eight **prakriti** states of existence, where all types of **mohaniya karma** are present. This state exists from the **mithyatva** **guna-sthana** to the eleventh **upshanta-moha** **guna-sthana**. The shortest duration of this state is **antar-muhurta**, and the longest duration is **saadhik** one hundred and thirty-two **sagars**.
Here's the explanation:
When a **mithyatva** being with twenty-six **prakriti** states attains **upshama samyak-tva** and gains twenty-eight **prakriti** states, and within **antar-muhurta** time, they achieve **vedak samyak-tva** and disconnects from the **ananta-anubandhi chatushk**, becoming a being with twenty-four **prakriti** states, then the shortest duration of the twenty-eight **prakriti** state is **antar-muhurta**.
The longest duration, **saadhik** one hundred and thirty-two **sagars**, is understood as follows:
A **mithyatva** being attains **upshama samyak-tva** and becomes a being with twenty-eight **prakriti** states. Subsequently, they attain **vedak samyak-tva** and remain in **samyak-tva** for the first sixty-six **sagars**. Then, they remain in **samy-mithyatva** for **antar-muhurta** time and again attain **vedak samyak-tva**, remaining in **samyak-tva** for another sixty-six **sagars**. Finally, they attain **mithyatva** and through the **udvalana** of **samyak-tva** **prakriti** for a period equivalent to an immeasurable fraction of the most excellent **paly** of **samyak-tva** **prakriti**, they become a being with twenty-seven **prakriti** states. Thus, the longest duration of the twenty-eight **prakriti** state is one hundred and thirty-two **sagars**, which is more than an immeasurable fraction of **paly**.
Although such a being may ascend to the **kshapka** category and attain other states of existence without falling into **mithyatva**, they do not achieve the aforementioned longest duration. Therefore, it is not mentioned here.
