________________
Particles of rasa infinite times more than that of all the living beings in the universe = 100,000 rasa particles
An infinitesimal part of this quantum of rasa = 100 rasa particles
Assuming that among those karmic particles which have not yet attained fruition (udayaavalikaanyuuna, still in satta), each karmic particle within the parameter of antakrodaakrodii saagaropama, ie. Within the duration of 13 to 98 samaya's nishekas, one has 100,000 rasa particles. Dividing the karmic particles into groups of 1000 particles each, it is divided into 100 groups. Allowing one group (consisting of 1000 particles) to remain and annihilating the other 99 groups within 48 minutes is known as prathama rasaghaata.
After this, one group (consisting of 1000 particles) remains. Dividing from the remaining one group of karmic particles into groups of 10 particles each; it is divided into 100 groups again. Allowing one group (consisting of 10 particles) to remain and annihilating the other 99 groups within 48 minutes is known as dvitiiya rasaghaata.
NB We have shown only two rasaghaatas to illustrate our point. In reality, thousands of rasaghaatas take place while one sthitighaata reaches completion.
NB The antaramuhuurta {time period less than 48 minutes of a sthitighaata is far greater than the antaramuhuurta of a rasaghaata. This is because several thousands of rasaghaatas take place in the duration of a sthitighaata.
(3.) Apuurva Gunashrenii
Shrenii means sequential progress
Guna means quality, attribute
Gunashrenii means the sequential diminution of karma dalikas by the process of apavartanaakarana, which are in stock. In case of karmas already in fruition (uday), this diminution shall occur while they are still in fruition (uday). In case of karmas that shall come into fruition later (stii in satta), this diminution shall take place as soon as they come into fruition (uday). Within one antaramuhuurta the karma dalikas which are in stock (satta) are taken from there and are arranged next to the karma dalikas which are in fruition (uday) and which are going to come in fruition very quickly (still in satta but going to come in uday very soon). The arrangement happens in a way that karma dalikas arranged next to karma dalikas which are not yet in uday are in greater number than the ones which are arranged next to karma dalikas which are in uday (see picture 4, its like V formation).
This process is call gunashrenii. (Arrangement of the karma dalikas)
