________________ 134 4.Q. The duplication of the terms 'koti-koti' (crore x crore) should not have a plural number here as in the case of normal usage - 'gramah gramah ramaniyah' (each village is beautiful) where there is a singular number in the word grama ( village). The meaning of plurality is indicated by duplication only. A. This is not correct. There is genitive case here like the 'men of the King' (Rāja-Puruşa). The crores of crores is the meaning intended here by the term Koti-Koti. Thus, the plural number is justified here. 5. The word 'maximum' (Parā) is meant to exclude the minimum duration Q. Who are the living beings who have the maximum duration ? 6.A. The duration of the knowledge-obscuring, conation-obscuring, feeling-producing and obstructive karmas of the specifically instinctive and completioned five-sensed living beings have the maximum span of 30 x S x 10" yrs. 7. The maximum duration of these four karmas for the one-sensed and other classes of the living beings is learnt from the scriptures. This is given below: (i) 1-sensed completioned 3/7S = 0.43 Sagara (ii) 2-sensed completioned 25 x 3/75 = 10.75 Sagaras (iii) 3-sensed completioned 50 x 3/78 = 21.4 Sagaras 4-sensed completioned 100 x 3/75 = 42.9 Sagaras 5-sensed non-instinctive 1000 x 3 / 75 = 428.5 Sagaras and non-completioned 5-sensed instinctive and Yx 104 s non completioned (vii) 1-sensed non-completioned 0.43S - 1/As P. (viii-xi) 2,3,4,5-sensed instinctive (a) 10.75 - 1/As P. and non-completioned (b) 21.4 S - 1/As P. (c) 42.95 - 1 /As P. (d) 428.5 -1/As P. where S = Sagaropama; As = Innumerable number P= Palyopama unit of time, and Y= Antah-Sagara = 1/As.S Supplementary Notes (vi) Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
