The augmentation (vṛddhi, delaying) is more than attenuation (hāni, hastening). The staying or invariance is more than the attenuation period. The term 'more' here should be taken in terms of innumerable times the geometrical series with respect to the successive karmic mass points.
(It means the attenuation is the least and the processes of augmentation and invariance are innumerable times each from the precedent).
