[128] In the six-fold division of the universe, the duration of a living being's existence is as follows:
[1, 5, 3] There is no absence of them.
A single living being, in comparison, has three types of time according to the false view: anadi-ananta, anadi-santa, and sadi-santa. Of these, the sadi-santa time is described as follows: In comparison to a single living being, the sadi-santa time of a living being with a false view is as short as a jghannya-antarmuhurta. [3]
Here, the anadi-ananta time mentioned in comparison to a single living being should be understood as the time of an abhavy living being with a false view. This is because the false view of an abhavy living being has no beginning, no middle, and no end. The time of a bhavy living being with a false view (such as Vardhanakumar) is anadi but also santa, because he will attain liberation by being free from the false view. For some bhavy living beings with a false view, such as Krishna, the time of their false view is also sadi-santa, which is as short as a jghannya-antarmuhurta. This is explained as follows:
A samyag-mithyadristi, asanyata-samyagdristi, or samyata-asanyata or pramatta-samyata living being attains a false view due to the influence of karmas. There, he remains for a very short time, a jghannya-antarmuhurta, and then again attains samyag-mithyatva, samyaktva with asanyama, samyata-asanyama, or samyata with aprammatta. For such a living being, the time of his false view is found to be as short as a jghannya-antarmuhurta.
A sasadan-samyagdristi living being, having attained a false view, cannot easily abandon it due to the extreme complexity of karmas.
[4] In comparison to a single living being, the sadi-santa time of his false view is as short as half a pudgala-parivartan. [4]
How long do sasadan-samyagdristi living beings exist? In comparison to various living beings, they exist for as short as one moment. [5]
This one moment is described as follows: Two, or three, and so on, increasing in increments of one, up to an uncountable number of parts of a palya-upam, the upshama-samyagdristi living beings attained upshama-samyaktva for a time that was only one moment long. When only one moment remained, they all simultaneously attained the sasadan gunasthan. They remained there for one moment and then all attained a false view in the next moment. At that time, all three realms...
