Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
The maximum duration of the deluding (dzīⲹ) karma is now indicated.
In this ūٰ, �岵DZ貹koṭikoṭi� and �貹 ٳپ�’�ٰܳṛṣṭa sthiti–have been taken from the previous ūٰ. This maximum duration of the deluding (dzīⲹ) karma also occurs in case of the wrong-believer (ٳṛṣṭi) who is endowed with the five senses and the mind�ṃjñī 貹ñԻⲹ–and who has attained completion�貹ٲ첹. With regard to the rest it must be understood from the Scripture.
