1. In the sequence of internal subsidence, the description of the subsidence stages is as follows:
[175]
Or, the non-returning (anivṛttikara ṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) living beings who were in the stage of the non-origination (apūrvakaraṇa) attained the subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) stage. In this way, the minimum interval period (antara kāla) of the stage of the non-origination (apūrvakaraṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) was obtained with respect to various living beings. Similarly, one should know the minimum interval period of the non-returning (anivṛttikara ṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka), the subtle-contemplative (sūkṣmasāmpara yika) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka), and the subsidence-suppressed passions (upashānta kasāya) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka).
13. The maximum interval (vāsapṛthaktva) of the above four subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) stages is only the difference of years.
Certain seven, eight, or many non-origination (apūrvakaraṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) living beings became non-returning (anivṛttikara ṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) or vigilant-restrained (apramattasaṃyata) and died to become deities. In this way, the maximum interval (vāsapṛthaktva) for the stage of the non-origination (apūrvakaraṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) was obtained. Thereafter, after the lapse of the period of the difference of years, certain seven, eight, or many vigilant-restrained (apramattasaṃyata) living beings became non-origination (apūrvakaraṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka). In this way, that maximum interval (vāsapṛthaktva) was obtained for the non-origination (apūrvakaraṇa) subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka). Similarly, one should know the interval (vāsapṛthaktva) for the remaining three subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) stages.
14. The minimum interval (antarmuhūrta) of the four subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) stages with respect to one living being is antarmuhūrta.
15. The maximum interval (vāsapṛthaktva) of the above four subsidence-suppressing (upashamaka) stages with respect to one living being is slightly less than half a paudgalika transformation (ardhapaudgalikapariv ṛtti).
