Remarks.
Explanation.-No one ever dies in this guņasthāna, because the state of his belief at the last moment of life must either raise him up to the fourth or throw him down to the first stage. Hence, none of the remaining two kinds of ayuh karma is engendered here. We thus get the number of bandha prakritis as 101-(25+2)=74.
As regards the udaya prakritis, narakagatyānupurvi does not become active even here, and as death does not take place in this stage, the remaining three kinds of anupurvi also remain inactive. This would give us 111-(9+3)=99; but samyaga mithyatva becomes activo at this stage, the total number of udaya prakritis for this gunasthana becomes 99+1=100.
as
No bandha prakriti is counter-indicated in this gunasthana except samyaktva (No. 19). Hence the number of potential energies for this stage is 1481-147. The duration of this stage is less than 48 minutes.
Effect. The soul passes out of the state of doubt on reaching the next higher stage. It may also fall back into the first gunasthana from here.
