[1, 5, 32] The duration of the *Oghaniddeso* in *Kalaanugam*
[135] A single *aprammatasanyata* (perfectly restrained) being becomes an *apuurvakaran* (initial) *kshapika* (stage of liberation) and remains there for an *antarmuhurt* (a very short period of time) before becoming an *anivrittikaran* (final) *kshapika*. Thus, the *apuurvakaran* *kshapika* has a *prakrut* (natural) *jghan* (inferior) duration in relation to a single being. Similarly, the durations of the remaining three *kshapikas* and the *ayogikevali* (non-liberated) should be determined.
The *antarmuhurt* is the *utkrusht* (superior) duration of the four *kshapikas* and the *ayogikevali* in relation to a single being. || 29 ||
A single *aprammatasanyata* being becomes an *apuurvakaran* *kshapika*. It remains there for the *sarvotkrusht* (most superior) *antarmuhurt* duration before attaining the *anivrittikaran* *gunasthan* (stage of liberation). This is the *utkrusht* duration of the *apuurvakaran* *kshapika* in relation to a single being. Similarly, the durations of the remaining three *kshapikas* and the *ayogikevali* should be known. Here, both the *jghan* and *utkrusht* durations are the same because it is not possible to imitate the *prakrut* results of *apuurvakaran* etc.
How long do the *sayogikevali* (liberated) Jinas exist? They exist for all durations in relation to different beings. || 30 ||
This is because there is not a single moment in any of the three durations when the *sayogikevali* Jinas are not found. Therefore, they are said to exist for all durations here.
The *jghan* duration of the *sayogikevali* in relation to a single being is an *antarmuhurt*. || 31 ||
A single being in the *kshinakashaya* (diminished passions) *gunasthan* becomes a *sayogikevali* and remains there for an *antarmuhurt* duration. After that, it becomes an *ayogikevali* by attaining *yoganirodh* (cessation of karmic activity) through *samudhat* (effort). Thus, the *sayogikevali* Jinas have a *jghan* duration as stated in the scriptures in relation to a single being.
The *utkrusht* duration of the *sayogikevali* in relation to a single being is slightly less than a *purvakoti* (a very long period of time) years. || 32 ||
A single *kshayikasamyagdristi* (perfectly enlightened) deva (god) or naraki (hell being) is born among humans who have a lifespan of a *purvakoti* years. It remains in the womb for seven months and attains *samyama* (restraint) with *aprammat* (perfect mindfulness) at the age of eight years from the day of its birth, which is the day it entered the womb (1). After that, it undergoes thousands of transformations related to the *pramat* (mindfulness) and *aprammat* *sanyata* *gunasthan* (stages of restraint) (2), and then it undergoes *adhapravrittikaran* (downward movement) in the *aprammatasanyata* *gunasthan* (3). It then gradually becomes an *apuurvakaran* (4), *anivrittikaran* (5), *sukshmasampray* (subtle) *kshapika* (6), and then a *kshinakashaya* (diminished passions), *vitraga* (passionless), *chhadmastha* (hidden) being (7), and finally becomes a *sayogikevali* (8). It then remains in this *sayogikevali* state for eight years and a *purvakoti* duration minus seven *antarmuhurts* before becoming an *ayogikevali*. Thus, eight years and...
