[ Listre VII
(Aph.) The omniscient with 'activities' is one who has destroyed all the four destructive karmans and is engaged in 'action' (that is auspicious, free from any desire and for the emancipation of all living beings). (XV) १६. शैलेशी प्रतिपन्नः अयोगिकेवलो। 16. śailesiṁ pratipannaḥ ayogikevali.
(Aph.) The state of 'omniscience with total cessation of all activities is the attainer of the state of absolute motionless condition like that of the chief of the mountains (viz. the Meru Mountain). (XVI)

prathamam-anādyanantam, anādisāntam, sādisāntañ ca. dvitiya sadāvalikāstbitikam. caturtham sādhikatryastrimsatsāgaramitam. pancama-saștha-trayodasāni desonapūrvakotisthitikāni. caturdaśam pañcabrasvākşaroccāraņa-mātram. seşāņām antarmubürttă sthiti”.
(Aph.) The (maximum) duration of these (states of soul's development) is manifold. (XVII)
(Gloss) The first state is (threefold in respect of duration)-(i) without beginning and end, (ii) without beginning but with end, (iii) with both-beginninng and end.
The second state endures for six avalikās. The duration of the fourth state is a little over thirty-three sägaras. The duration of the fifth, sixth and thirteenth states is a little less than ten million pürvas? The duration of the fourteenth state covers only the time taken by the utterance of five short vowels (sc. a-i-u-r-!). The duration of the rest is less than one muhũrtta.
(Note) The duration of the gunasthānas is considered with reference to its beginning and end.
Thus the first gunasthāna may be without a beginning or with a beginning. The soul that has not achieved samyag-darśana has his mithyåtva without beginning, but one who has attained samyag-darśana and fallen back to mithyätva, has his fresh 1 pūrvakoti=10 million pūrvas.
