According to the knowledge path, how long does a being remain a non-knower and a knower of scriptures? || 132 ||
The time-form of non-knower beings is like that of the apostate-knowers. || 131 ||
The time of non-knower and knower of scriptures beings is beginningless-endless. || 133 ||
The above mentioned time of both the non-knowers is beginningless-endless in comparison to the non-liberated and liberated beings.
The time of both the non-knowers is beginningless-finite in comparison to the liberated being. || 134 ||
The time of both the non-knowers is finite-finite. || 135 ||
In comparison to the liberated being who has attained non-knowledge from right knowledge, the time of both the non-knowers is also found to be finite-finite.
The description of that finite-finite time is as follows: that finite-finite time is only a fraction of a moment. || 136 ||
The reason for this is that a liberated being who has attained non-knowledge from right knowledge remains a non-knower and a knower of scriptures for at least a fraction of a moment.
The being remains a non-knower and a knower of scriptures for a maximum of slightly less than half a pudgala-parivartan time. || 137 ||
How long does a being remain a knower of divisions? || 138 ||
A being remains a knower of divisions for at least one time. || 139 ||
He remains a knower of divisions for a maximum of slightly less than thirty-three ocean-like times. || 140 ||
