[130] In the six realms, the lifespan of a being is:
[1, 5, 10] In comparison to various beings, the superior time for beings with right and wrong faith is countless, like a moment. [10]
In comparison to a single being, the inferior time for beings with right and wrong faith is an antarmukha. [11]
A single being with wrong faith, becoming pure, attained right and wrong faith. Again, for the shortest antarmukha time, remaining with right and wrong faith, it became pure and attained right faith with non-restraint.

Thus, that superior time for right and wrong faith is also attained.
How long do beings with right faith without restraint exist? In comparison to various beings, they exist for all time. [13]
This is because, in the past, future, and present, there is never a lack of beings with right faith without restraint.
In comparison to a single being, the inferior time for beings with right faith without restraint is an antarmukha. [14]
A single being with wrong faith, who has attained the twenty-eight types of moha karma, who has changed many times before into right faith with non-restraint, became a being with right faith without restraint. There, for the shortest antarmukha time, remaining with wrong faith,
