GOMMATASARA.
he becomes a saint with white thought-paint, retains it for the remaining life, and after death goes to Sarvárth-siddhi for 33 Ságars. There he keeps his white thought-paint. Then he is born a man and for one Antara-muhúrta he remains in white paint. Then he begins to transform from white to pink, pale, grey and blue and black each in one Antara-muhúrta. The interval for black is thus 33 Ságars, 1 crore Púrva years minus 8 years and 10 Antar-muhúrtas. This example will show interval of blue and grey also with, respectively, 2 and 4 Antara-muhúrtas less than black.
The intervals for the other three thought-paints is no doubt a long time, for only five sensed beings can have them. If a soul has to pass from one-sensed to 4-sensed lives, he can pass a long time there with only 3 bad thought-paints. After a long time, he may become again five-sensed with pale thought-paint. Sub-Chapter XV & XVI.-Modifications and quantity
(Bháva and Alpa-Bahutva). भावादो छल्लेस्सा ओदयिया होति अप्पबहुगं तु । दव्वपमाणे सिद्धं इदि लेस्सा वरिणदा होति ॥ ५५५॥ भावतः षड्लेश्या औदयिका भवन्ति अल्पबहुकं तु । द्रव्यप्रमाणे सिद्धमिति लेश्या वर्णिता भवन्ति ॥ ५५५ ॥
555. As to quality the six-thought-paints are due to the operation (of Karmas). Their quantity has been described as the number of (their) matter (in sub-chapter of number, Sankhyá). Thus the paints are described.
Commentary. The least number is of those with white thought-paint, yet It is innumerable. Its innumerable-fold is the number of those with pink thought-paint. Its numerable fold is the number of those with pale thought-paint. Its infinite fold is the number of souls with grey thought paint. A little more than this is the number of those with blue thought-paint and a little more than this is the number of souls with black thought-paint.
