MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
Mishra-Mohaniya (Samyakva-Mithyatva), the other two Prakritis (Mithyatva & Samyaktva Mohaniya) are not found; he attains Mishra Gunasthana; no Karanas are found there. Such state is found in the case of a Saadi Mithyadrishti (non-eternal misbeliever) on disappearance of Mithyatva. Kshyaika-Samyaktva (destructive type of right belief) is attained by Vedaka-Samyagdrishti (true believer possessing Kshayopashama Samyaktva) only, hence, description about him is not done here. In this way, the duration of the state of Saadi Mithyadrishti is found to be minium one middle Antar Muhurta (less than 48 minutes time is one Antar Muhurtha) and maximum a little less than the duration of half a matter-cycle, i.e., one cycle of quasi karmic matter.
Behold! the peculiarity of Jiva's thought activities ! Some Jiva after attaining Yathakhyat-Charitra (perfect passionless conduct of subsidential type) in the eleventh Gunasthana, again by becoming a false believer, transmigrates in the world for a period of little less than half a matter-cycle and some other Jiva just after coming out from the state of Nitya-Nigodaand by taking birth in the form of man after disappearance of Mithyatva, attains omniscience within an Antar Muhurta. Knowing this fact, one should be fearful of degeneration of one's thoughts and should make efforts for improving them.
And if in the case of that Saadi Mithyadrishti (non-eternal misbeliever) the rise of Mithyatva is found only for a short period then his external Jainahood is not dstroyed and disbelief in Tattvas is not discernible; and he again attains right belief even without deliberation or by some deliberation only. And if the rise of Mithyatva exists for a longer period then his state becomes similar to that of an eternal misbeliever. He even accepts and follows the Grihita Mithyatva (newly adopted false belief) also and wanders even in the Nigoda, etc. states of existence. There is no limit or measure of it.
And some Jiva, after falling from right belief (4th Gunasthana), reaches the stages of Sasadana (down-fall, state of 2nd Gunasthana) and he stays there for a minium period of one moment and miximum
1.
Nitya-Nigoda= Eternal state of group souled vegetable kingdom of one-sensed beings which die and take rebirth 18 times in one respiration period.
