It holds that an act takes many a moment for its performance. It is not performed in one moment. In other words, whatever is being done at a particular moment cannot be regarded as done at that very moment. When it is done i.e. completed after the lapse of many a moment, it is taken as done. Or, since this view is held by many beings, it is known by this name.¹ This doctrine came into being at Sāvatthī after the lapse of fourteen years of Titthayara Mahāvīra's obtaining omniscience.² - [Previous: v2.c8.270](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.270) - [Next: v2.c8.272](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.272) - [Up: v2.c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.271](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.271) · Pramāṇa
