## Sixth Karma Granth
**77** A being with 28 natural states of existence cannot attain **Upshama Samyaktv**. The maximum duration of their existence is **132 Sagaras plus an innumerable fraction of a Paly**. This is because a being with 28 natural states of existence who remains in **Vedak Samyaktv** for 66 Sagaras and then attains **Samyagdristi**, and subsequently remains in **Vedak Samyaktv** for another 66 Sagaras, and finally becomes a **Mithyadristi** for a period of an innumerable fraction of a Paly, cannot exist for a longer duration. This is because after this period, they will inevitably become a being with 27 natural states of existence.
However, according to **Digambar literature**, a **Mithyadristi** with 26 or 27 natural states of existence will inevitably attain **Upshama Samyaktv**. But a being with 28 natural states of existence, whose time for attaining **Vedak Samyaktv** has passed, will also attain **Upshama Samyaktv**. Therefore, the maximum duration of a being with 28 natural states of existence becomes **132 Sagaras plus three innumerable fractions of a Paly**.
For example, a **Mithyadristi** being attains **Upshama Samyaktv** and becomes a being with 20 natural states of existence. After attaining **Mithyatva**, they would have become a being with 27 natural states of existence after an innumerable fraction of a Paly, the maximum duration of **Samyaktv**. However, instead of that, they attain **Upshama Samyaktv** again at the end of this period. Subsequently, they wander in **Samyaktv** for the first 66 Sagaras and then attain **Mithyatva**. Again, they attain **Upshama Samyaktv** at the end of the maximum duration of **Samyaktv**, which is an innumerable fraction of a Paly. After that, they wander in **Samyaktv** for another 66 Sagaras and finally attain **Mithyatva**. They then exist for an innumerable fraction of a Paly...
