## Chapter Seventy-Three
**Of the eight natural states of existence, the time period is beginningless and endless in relation to the Abhyavi, because the Abhyavi only has the Mithyatva Gunasthan, and in the Mithyatva Gunasthan, there is no decay of any original nature. In relation to the Bhavya, the time period of the eight natural states of existence is beginningless and finite, because the Kshapaka, in the Sukhsma Samparaya Gunasthan, completely destroys the Mohaniya Karma, and after that, in the Kshina Moh Gunasthan, the seven natural states of existence are attained, and it does not happen from the Kshina Moh Gunasthan. From this, it is proven that the eight natural states of existence are beginningless and finite in relation to the Bhavya.**
**The seven natural states of existence are in the twelfth Kshina Moh Gunasthan, and the time period of the Kshina Moh Gunasthan, from the least to the greatest, is the measure of an Antarmuhurt. Therefore, the time period of the seven natural states of existence, from the least to the greatest, is also the measure of an Antarmuhurt.**
**The four natural states of existence are found in the Sayogikevali and Ayogikevali Gunasthanas, and the least time period of these Gunasthanas is an Antarmuhurt, and the greatest time period is slightly less than one Purva Koti years. Therefore, the least time period of the four natural states of existence should be understood as an Antarmuhurt, and the greatest time period as slightly less than one Purva Koti years.**
**1. In that, all the natural states of existence are eight, and the existence of these eight, in relation to the Abhyavi, is beginningless and endless, and in relation to the Bhavya, it is beginningless and finite.**
**2. The existence of the seven natural states of existence, which are destroyed by the Mohaniya Karma, and their time period, from the least to the greatest, is the measure of an Antarmuhurt, because it is in the Kshina Moh, and the Kshina Moh Gunasthan is also the measure of an Antarmuhurt.**
