अध्याय-८
[ आयुषः] आयु कर्म की उत्कृष्ट स्थिति [त्रयस्त्रिंशत्सागरोपमाणि] तैंतीस सागरोपम है।
Thirty-three sāgaropama is the maximum duration of the life-determining (āyuh) karma.
The mention of 'sāgaropama'in the sūtra is to exclude 'kotākoți’. The maximum duration is supplied from the sūtra 8-14. This maximum duration also occurs in case of the wrong-believer (mithyādrsti) 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 - utkrsta sthiti - has been described. Now the minimum duration - jaghanya sthiti - has to be described. Leaving (for the present) the five types of karmas, which have the same minimum duration, the author describes the minimum duration of the other three types of karmas in two sūtra.
अपरा द्वादश मुहूर्ता वेदनीयस्य ॥१८॥ [ वेदनीयस्य अपरा] वेदनीय कर्म की जघन्य स्थिति [ द्वादशमुहूर्ता] बारह मुहूर्त है।
The minimum duration - jaghanya sthiti – of the feelingproducing (vedanīya) karma is twelve muhūrta.
The word 'aparā' means the minimum. The minimum duration of the feeling-producing (vedanīya) karma is twelve muhurta.
