4 just one Samaya after acquiring it. Its maximum sustenance period is 4 slightly less than 33 Koti-purva less than 33 Sagaropam. This is because
some individual is reborn in seventh hell after remaining Vibhang jnani
for slightly less than 33 Koti-purva. (Vritti, leaf 361; Hindi Commentary, 45 part-3, p. 1363)
Intervening period—The period between once loosing a particular jnana (after gaining it) and then regaining it is called antar-kaal
(intervening period). Here it is advised to refer to Jivabhigam Sutra for 5 knowing this intervening period related to five jnanas and three ajnanas 41 (kinds of wrong knowledge). That information in brief is as follows—The
intervening period related to Abhinibodhik jnana is minimum Antarmuhurt and maximum infinity or slightly less than Apardh-pudgal
Paravartan kaal (the time taken by a soul to touch each and every 15 matter particle in the whole universe is called Pudgalaparavartan kaal; Hi it is equivalent to innumerable avasarpini-utsarpinis). The same is true
for Shrut-jnana, Avadhi-jnana and Manah-paryav-jnana. In Keval-jnana
there is no intervening period. The minimum sustenance period of Matifajnana and Shrut-ajnana is one Antarmuhurt and maximum is slightly f more than 66 Sagaropam. The minimum sustenance period of Vibhang. 1 jnana is one Antarmuhurt and maximum is infinity. (Vritti, leaf 361; Jivabhigam Sutra aphorism 263)
Comparative numbers of jnani and ajnani beings—The comparative 51 numbers of living beings with five jnanas and three ajnanas has been mentioned in the third chapter of Prajnapana Sutra. In brief it is as
follows-Minimum number is of Manah-paryav jnanis. This is because 5 only the accomplished and restrained sages are endowed with Manahi paryav-jnana. Innumerable times more than these are Avadhi jnanis, f this is because Avadhi jnani beings are found in all the four genuses.
Much more than these are abhinibodhik-jnanis and shrut jnanis, the two being mutually equivalent. This is because even when devoid of these
types of knowledge many two to five sensed beings (those having fleeting Fi taste of righteousness or sasvadan samyagdrishti) are still endowed with Fi Abhinibodhik-jnana and Shrut-jnana. Infinite times more than these are fi Keval jnanis because they include Siddhas who are infinite times more.
Among living beings with three ajnanas minimum are Vibhang jnanis
because only five sensed beings have this jnana. Infinite times more 5 than these are Mati-ajnanis and Shrut ajnanis; this is because even one
