## The Chapter of the Twenty-Seven Tika
By comparing the state of Samyaktvā with the time factor, a being attains the state of twenty-seven Prakṛtis. Thus, the duration of the twenty-eight Prakṛti state is three asamkhyeya parts of a palya plus 132 sagaras.

When the Samyag-Mithyātva Prakṛti is removed from the twenty-seven Prakṛti state by the process of removal, the state of twenty-six Prakṛtis remains. This state also belongs to the Mithyādṛṣṭi being. From the perspective of time, there are three possibilities for this state: 1. Anadi-Ananta, 2. Anadi-Santa, 3. Sadi-Santa. Out of these, the Anadi-Ananta possibility is expected for Abhavya beings, because their thirty-six Prakṛti state has no beginning or end. The Anadi-Santa possibility is found in Bhavyas. Because the Anadi Mithyādṛṣṭi Bhavyas have a beginningless twenty-six Prakṛti state, but when they attain Samyaktvā...
