[144] In the six realms, the lifespan of a being is as follows:
[1, 5, 103]
[102]
In the nine directional vimanas, the shortest lifespan of a being is thirty-one sagaropamas, and in the four anuttara vimanas, it is thirty-two sagaropamas. [103]
There is no change in the guna-sthana in these vimanas, because there is no possibility of any other guna-sthana except the guna-sthana of asanyata-samyag-drishti. Here, the measure of saadhikatva should be understood as a single time, because, according to the Acharya tradition, the superior state of the devatas residing in the lower vimanas is the inferior state of the devatas residing in the higher vimanas.
The longest lifespan in the aforementioned vimanas is thirty-two sagaropamas and thirty-three sagaropamas respectively. [104]
The longest lifespan in the nine directional vimanas is thirty-two sagaropamas, and in the four anuttara vimanas, it is thirty-three sagaropamas.
How long do the devatas residing in the Sarvarthasiddhi vimana live, who have asanyata-samyag-drishti? They live for all time, compared to the lifespan of various beings. [105]
The shortest and longest lifespan of a being in the Sarvarthasiddhi vimana is thirty-three sagaropamas. [106]
According to the Indriyamargna, how long do the ekendriya beings live? They live for all time, compared to the lifespan of various beings. [107]
The shortest lifespan of an ekendriya being is the amount of time it takes to grasp a kshudra-bhava. [108]
The longest lifespan of an ekendriya being is an infinite amount of time, which is the amount of time it takes for an uncountable number of pudgalas to change. [109]
How long do the badara-ekendriya beings live? They live for all time, compared to the lifespan of various beings. [110]
