## Introduction
[13]
The point is that the results that can occur in the first time of one being, can also occur in the second time of another being, in the third time of a third being, and in the fourth time of a fourth being. Thus, the results of the superior co-existent beings are found in the descending time, resembling the results of the inferior co-existent beings. Although the results of each being who establishes this cause are progressively infinite in purity in the future times, yet their results may be similar or dissimilar to the results of other beings present in those same times. This is what should be known about the results of the beings who establish this cause behind it. As soon as the time of the inferior cause result ends, the time of the eight-fold, non-negligent, restrained-quality-state ends, and that being enters the eighth quality-state.
It should be known here that the next five quality-states are divided into two categories - one is the subsiding category and the other is the diminishing category. The being who strives for the subsidence of the obscuring karma ascends the subsiding category, and the being who strives for the destruction of karma ascends the diminishing category. There are four quality-states in the subsiding category - the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh. There are also four quality-states in the diminishing category - the eighth, ninth, tenth, and twelfth. The least and the most time of both these categories is an inter-moment. And the time of each quality-state of each category is also an inter-moment. Further, the quality-states of both categories will be described together. One more thing worth knowing is that the perfect knowledge of the Vedas does not occur in the quality-states beyond the seventh. Therefore, it is necessary for any being who wants to ascend to hold the second subsidence perfect knowledge or the diminishing perfect knowledge here. The diminishing perfect knowledge being can ascend both categories, but the second subsidence perfect knowledge being can only ascend the subsiding category.
8. The Unprecedented Cause Restrained Quality-State - In the time of the descending cause, the present being does not subside or destroy any karma, but it increases with infinite purity every moment. Upon entering the eighth quality-state, the purity of its results becomes even more infinitely pure than the inferior cause. Such pure results were never obtained before, hence they are called unprecedented cause (results). Just as the results of different co-existent beings in the inferior cause are both similar and dissimilar, it is not so in the unprecedented cause. But here, the results of different co-existent beings are unprecedented, that is, they are dissimilar, not similar. From the first time of entering this quality-state, four actions begin for each being: 1. Quality-series-decay, 2. Quality-transition, 3. Position-section-destruction, and 4. Experience-section-destruction. Every moment...
