एक समयपबद्धं बंधदि एवं उदेदि चरिमम्मि । गुणहाणीण दिवढं समयपबद्धं हवे सत्तं ॥ २५४ ॥ एकं समयप्रबद्धं बध्नाति एकमुदेति चरमे । गुणहानीनां यध समयप्रबद्धं भवेत् सत्त्वम् ॥ २५४ ॥
254. In each instant only one unit of bondage (Samaya Prabaddha) is bound and comes into operation. In the last (instant of the duration of any unit of bondage) (the number of) existing atoms (Satva) is one and a half times the number of Gunahánis multiplied by that unit of bondage.
Commentary. Gunahani here means Gunaháni áyáma. In the example in the note below it is evident that the number of molecules shed in the first 48 instants will respectively, be:
(1) 512, 480, 448, 416, 384, 352, 320, 288. (2) 256, 240,224, 208, 192, 176, 160, 144. (3) 128, 120, 112, 104, 96, 88,80, 72. (4) 64, 60, 56, 52,48, 44, 40, 36. (5) 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18. (6) 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.
From this it is easy to calculate that at the last instant the un shed molecules will be 71,304, and it is just a little less than 11 Gunahāni Ayama times of the unit of bondage, i. e. 1} x 8 x 6300 -75600.
णवरि य दुसरीराणं गलिदवसेसाउमेत्तठिदिबंधो। गुणहाणीण दिवटुं संचयमुदयं च चरिमम्हि ॥ २५५ ॥ नवरि च द्विशरीरयोगलितावशेषायुमात्रस्थितिबन्धः । गुणहानीनां द्वध संचयमुदयं च चरमे ।। २५५ ॥
255. But the duration of the unit of bondage (Samaya Prabaddha), (which is bound to the two bodies physical and fluid, is) the total length of one's age minus its length already exhausted. In the last (instant of life) the number of existing molecules is one and a half times of Gunaháni and (all of them shed by) operation. (This is necessarily so as in vigraha Gati, the soul cannot have the physical, fluid, or assimilative bodies).
