THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
In one-sensed beings, the maximum duration of wrong-belief is one Ságara, and the minimum is one Ságara minus (innumerable part of a Palya minus one instant). The divisions of duration from maximum to minimum having a common difference of one instant (Samaya) are equal to innumerable part of a Palya.
Now by rule of three, if innumerable parts of a Palya are divisions of duration in bondage of wrong-belief for 343 parts, the number of divisions for 196 parts will be 19 assuming the innumerable part of a Palya-x.
This is the number of divisions of duration from the maximum of gross developable to the maximum of fine developables. Then the maximum duration of fine developables will be:--
1 Sagar- (1965-1. }
343
28x
In the same way, we will be the number of divisions of duration from one instant less than the maximum of fine developable to the maximum of gross undevelopables. Therefore the maximum
196x duration of gross undevelopable would be 1 Ságara-1 -1 -10
343
343 Thus we should get the durations of each of 8 divisions for onesensed beings. Also the quiescience (Abádhá) should be found in the same way.
In the same way for durations of 4 kinds of 2-sensed, as below:
The middle is from maximum of undevelopable to minimum of undevelopable ...
1 Shaláká. Then below, from minimum of undevelopable to minimum of developable-1x2–...
... 2 Shalákás. Then above from maximum of undevelopable to maximum of developable-22
... 4 Shalákás.
Total- ... 7 Shalákás. ... The maximum duration of wrong-belief is 25 Ságaras and the minimum is (Palya-1) + 4 times numerable.
In the same manner the divisions for 3, 4, and 5-sensed irrationals should be found.
