duration of this guṇasthāna can be given. For one who has fallen from samyaktva, the minimum is an antarmuhūrta, and the maximum less than a half of pudgalaparāvarta. Lp. 3. 1209. Pudgalaparāvarta is the time that a jīva must remain in material existence.
A11 148 karmas are in existence in this guṇasthāna, the presence of tirthakrtkarma being explained as follows: Normally a jiva in the first, second, and third guṇasthānas would not have tirthakệtkarma, as it begins to develop only in the fourth guṇasthāna in kṣāyopaśamikasamyaktva. When he falls from the fourth direct to the first, he still has tirthakrtkarma. Only those in the first who have fallen from the fourth can have it (KG II. 25, p. 75). A11 6 leśyās are present. IV. Aviratisamyagdřştiguņasthāna.
It is 'avirati' because self-control is lacking, but right-belief always exists. There is, however, a difference of opinion about which samyaktva a jiva attains.
A) According to siddhānta, he may attain either aupaśamika or kşāyopaśamikasamyaktva. This question involves the three karanas (see n. 255) and another phenomenon, the division of matter into three groups: impure (mithyātva), mixed (miśra), and pure (samyaktva).
I. If a jīva attains aupaśamika, he must have done the three karañas, but he has not made the three divisions of matter. In this case, he falls back to the first guṇasthāna, but does not have to stay the maximum time. When he rises again, he must attain kṣāyopaśamika, as a jiva can have this kind of aupaśamika only once (see n. 258).
2. In the case of a jiva that attains kṣāyopaśamika from the first guṇasthāna, he also must have done the three karaṇas first; but he first makes the three divisions of matter by the apūrvakaraña. Then by the anivịttikaraṇa he destroys the mithyātva that has matured and suppresses what has not
