If a person is in contact with Samyaktva even for an antarmuhurt (a trice) of time, he will not remain in samsar for more than half a phase of time called Ardhapudgalavart. Surely, within that duration, the attains salvation. One Pudgalatart means countless Kalachakras. More than countless Anantpudgalavart have passed.
When the question arises; how many hivas have attained Moksha, the answer given by the Jain Dharma is that an infinitesmally small part of the countless jivas in a Nigodh is to attain Moksha.
Questions : (1) What happiness is in Moksha if we do nothing in that state? (2) Write a paragraph on the 9 points like Satpad relating to
Moksha. (3) Hunger, Profit, Helplessness, equanimity and vision in
what Bhavas are these present ? (4) Who become Siddhas; when and how ? (5) Describe the 15 kinds of Siddhas.
