________________
Tattvārthasūtra
In this sūtra, 'sāgaropamakoţikoți' and 'parā sthitiḥ' – utkrsta sthiti – have been taken from the previous sūtra. This maximum duration of the deluding (mohanīya) karma also occurs in case of the wrongbeliever (mithyādựsti) who is endowed with the five senses and the mind - samjñī pańcendriya - and who has attained completion - paryāptaka. With regard to the rest it must be understood from the Scripture.
The maximum duration of the physique-making (nāma) and the status-determining (gotra) karmas is mentioned next.
विंशतिर्नामगोत्रयोः ॥१६॥
[नामगोत्रयोः ] नाम और गोत्र कर्म की उत्कृष्ट स्थिति [विंशतिः ] बीस कोटाकोटि सागरोपम है।
Twenty sāgaropama koțākoți is the maximum duration - utkrsta sthiti - of the name (nāma) and the statusdetermining (gotra) karmas.
Again, 'sāgaropamakoţikoți' and ‘parā sthitiḥ' - utkrsta sthiti – have been taken from the previous sūtra. This maximum duration also occurs in case of the wrong-believer (mithyādụsți) who is endowed with the five senses and the mind - samjñī pańcendriya - and who has attained completion - paryāptaka. With regard to the rest it must be understood from the Scripture.
What is the maximum duration of life-determining (āyuh) karma?
