the 3rd samaya of a third, and so on; till in the last sainaya it is born in the last samaya of a new Avasarpini. Similarly it must be born in 3aafauft Utsarpini, eras. Then it must die in each samaya of the two eras like the above. The time taken to go through all this is a Time Cycle (Kalaparivartna).
(4) Taufrat Bhavaprivartna. Incarnation Cycle, e g., a soul is born in hell with the minimum age of 10,000 years He is reborn again (after other births) in hell with 10,000 years age. This goes on as many times as there are samayas in 10.000 years. Then he is reborn there with an age of 40,000 years, and one samaya, then with an age of 10,000 years, and 2 samayas, and thus at every birth he adds one samaya till he is born with the maximum age of 33 FR Sagaras. The time taken is called Hellish Cycle Similarly with the Celestial Cycle, but there the minimum is 10,000 years and the maximum is only 31 Sagaras upto the 9th 944 Grarve yaka.
In the Sub-human and human-Cycles the minimum is one siat kat antarmahurta, and the maximum is 3 qriu palyas. The procedure is the same as in Hellish and Celestial Cycles.
The time taken in all these four cycles, is called one Incarnation Cyclc.

In-numerable x in numerable Kashaya, etc., make one qafuar Jaghanya-sthiti-bandha, i e., minimum duration of bondage in a rational wrong-believing person. This is अन्त. कोडा कोडी सागर Antah crore x crore sagars One स्थिति Sthata needs that the soul should pass through every one of the in-numerable m4a, Yog-sthanas, to earn one woma. Anubhaga-bandha and then so on, to earn one Sthata. Thus it should go up to the maximum duration of each one of the 8 Karmas, of course adding only one samaya at each step onwards from the munimum duration. When it has thus gone through the 8 karmas and their 148 divisions, It is said to have done one, Thought-Cycle (Bhava-parivartana)
In-numeral and Infinite numbers can be easily realised by a con. sideration of recuring decimals in dividing 10'3 3333 ad inf, we get an infinite quotient, or of the famous relation of the circumference of
