THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
अंतोमुहुत्तमेत्ते पडिसमयमसंख लोगपरिणामा । कमउड्ढा पुव्वगुणे कट्टी गत्थि यिमेव ॥ ५३ ॥ अन्तर्मुहूर्तमात्रे प्रति समयमसंख्य लोक परिणामाः । क्रमबद्धा अपूर्वगुणे अनुकृष्टिनास्ति नियमेन ॥ ५३ ॥
53. The duration of this stage of new thoughtactivity (Apúrva Karana) (is) one antarmuhúrta; (in it) the thoughts, (are) innumerable times the innumerable spatial units of the universe; (and they) increase gradually every instant and necessarily (there is) no overlapping (Anu-krishti).
Commentary,
But here the Antarmuhúrta is less than that of the lower thought activity (adhah-karana), but the number of thoughts is greater than that in the, adhah-karana. This is possible because there are many kinds of innumerable numbers, some are greater than the other.
[See Jaina Gem Dictionary appendix - 21 kinds of Numbers ].
तारिसपरिणामट्टियजीवा ह जिरोहिं गलियतिमिरेहिं । मोहस्लपुव्वकरणा खवणुबसमगुज्जया भणिया ॥ ५४ ॥ तादृश परिणाम स्थिताजीवा हि जिनैर्गलिततिमिरैः । मोहस्यपूर्वकरणाः क्षपणोपशमनोद्यता भणिताः ॥ ५४ ॥
54. Involved (or advanced ) in such thoughts, the souls in the new thought-activity (Apúrva-Karana) are said to be really busy in the destruction or subsidence of the right-conduct-deluding Karmas, (Moha). (So it is said) by the Conquerors (Jinas) whose darkness of ignorance has been destroyed.
गिद्दापयले हे सदि आऊ उबसमंति उबसमया । खवयं दुक्के खबया शियमेण खबंति मोहं तु ॥ ५५ ॥
