## Chapter 73
When a being ascends the क्षपकश्रेणि with क्षपकणि, it first sheds the नपुंसक वेद, then in the अन्तर्मुहूर्त time, it sheds the स्त्रोवेद. After that, the पुरुषवेद and the six हास्यादि are shed together. However, even during the shedding of स्त्रीवेद, the पुरुषवेद is stopped. Thus, with the rise of स्त्रीवेद and नपुंसक वेद, the being ascending the क्षपकश्रेणि either at the end of the shedding of स्त्रीवेद or at the end of the shedding of स्त्रीवेद and नपुंसकवेद, experiences the अन्धविच्छेद of पुरुषवेद. This results in the being attaining eleven प्रकृतिक सत्तास्थान with only one प्रकृति remaining in its four प्रकृतिक बंधस्थान without the rise of वेद. This being sheds the पुरुषवेद and the six हास्यादि together. Therefore, it attains four प्रकृतिक सत्तास्थान instead of five. However, the being that ascends the क्षपकश्रेणि with the rise of पुरुषवेद, experiences the बंधविच्छेद of पुरुषवेद only when its six नोकषायों are shed. This results in the being attaining five प्रकृतिक सत्तास्थान instead of eleven in its four प्रकृतिक बंधस्थान. This सत्तास्थान remains for two times less than two आवली काल, and then it attains four प्रकृतिक सत्तास्थान for the अन्तर्मुहूर्त काल.

In the चूर्णि of कषायप्राभूत, the time for both the अभ्य and उत्कृष्ट types of five प्रकृतिक सत्तास्थान is stated as one time less than two आवली:
"What is the time for the five प्रकृतिक सत्तास्थान? It is two आवली times less than one time."
