THE CYCLE OF THOUGHT

belief acquires knowledge-covering karmas, below kotikoti (crore x crore) sāgaras duration, which is the utmost minimum and suited to him. The minimum degree of passion suited to that duration, governed by the six stages and of the extent of innumerable times the innumerable spatial. units of the universe, occurs to him. And, owing to this minimum degree of passion, the minimum degree of intensity of karmas of the extent of innumerable times the spatial units of the universe occurs to him. In this manner, the utmost minimum degree of vibratory activity occurs to this being with the minimum duration, the minimum degree of passion, and the minimum degree of intensity. The second degree of vibratory activity, which occurs to the being with the same duration, degree of passion and degree of intensity, is accompanied by an increase of one/innumerable part. Similarly the third, fourth, etc. degrees of vibratory activity must be understood. All these degrees of vibratory activity are governed by the four stages and are accompanied every time by an increase of one innumerable part of the śreni, that is the straight line from one end of the universe to the other. (See page 60 for the six and four stages.)
In that manner, the second degree of intensity occurs to the being having the same duration and the same degree of passion. Its degrees of vibratory activity must be understood as before The purport is this. Here, too, the three things are constant. But the degrees of vibratory activity are accompanied by an increase of one innumerable part of the height of the universe.. Similarly, it must be understood with regard to the third, fourth, etc. degrees of intensity up to the limit of innumerable times the spatial units of the universe. The purport is this. Here, the duration and the degree of passion are at the minimun. But the degrees of intensity gradually increase up to the extent of innumerable times the spatial units of the universe. And, for the increase of each degree of intensity, there is an increase in the degrees of vibratory activity to the extent of one/innumerable part of the height of the universe. Similarly, the second degree of passion occurs to the being having the same duration. For this also the degrees of intensity and the
