lessens the first thing
Time is the duration of the modification of substances. Duration is the fact that a given state of anything or being stays for a certain length of time. The modification (or state, that is) lasts for a certain length of time. (Time is not, therefore, any mysterious mystery, it is quite plain and gruspable.)
The maximum time that the karmas could last is as follows; that is to say that any given karma which is in combination with the soul, would paturally be worked out during the time as given below: but then it is to be understood tbat while this particular karma is working out, the individual muy generate an addition of karma of a similar nature, and so although at the end of the following maximum times, the particular karma, would all be rid from the soul, yet the soul would be in combination with fresh karna if the inflow bas not been stopped.
