按立世云：疾疫劫末，諸有在者，各散分處，時有一人，合某閻浮提內男女，唯餘一萬留，為當來人種。極八千歲，是時女人，至五百歲爾，乃行稼，壽八十千歲，住阿僧祇年，乃至眾生未造十惡。從起十惡業道時節，壽命因此十、十歲減，度一百年則減十歲。次後百年，復減十歲，次第漸減，至餘十歲。廣釋增減，應尋彼文。

According to the Lokasthiti-śāstra: 'At the end of the kalpa of epidemics, those who survive disperse to various places. At that time there are people who gather together the men and women in Jambudvīpa, leaving only ten thousand survivors to serve as the seeds for future human beings. At a maximum [lifespan] of eight thousand years, women at that time marry only when reaching five hundred years. Their lifespan reaches eighty thousand years and dwells for asaṃkhyeya years, until sentient beings have not yet committed the ten unwholesome deeds. From the time they give rise to the paths of the ten unwholesome karmas, lifespan decreases by ten years at a time because of this: after passing one hundred years, it decreases by ten years; after the next hundred years, it decreases by another ten years, progressively decreasing in this order until ten years remain.' For a detailed explanation of the increases and decreases, one should consult that text.
