the 3rd samaya of a third, and so on, till in the last samaya it is born in the last samaya of a new Avasarpını Similarly it must be born in उतमर्पिणी Utsarpa, eras Then it must die in cach samas a of the two eras like the above The time taken to go through all this is a Time Cycle (Kalaparıartna)
(4) aufaa Bhavaprivartna Incarnation Cycle, eg, 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 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 Graweyaka
In the Sub-human and human-Cycles the minimum is onc antarmahurta, and the maximum is 3 palyas The procedure

In-numerable x in numerable Kashaya, etc., make one auf Jaghanya-sthiti-bandha, 1 e, minimum duration of bondage in a rational wrong-believing person This is भन्त कोठा कोडी सागर Antah crore X crore sagars One Rafa Sthat needs that the soul should pass through every one of the in-numerable , Yog-sthanas, to earn one Anubhaga-bandha and then so on, to earn one Sthat 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 minimum 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 consideration of recuring decimals in dividing 10/3 3 333 ad inf, we get an infinite quotient, or of the famous relation of the circumference of
