“How many kinds, Venerable Sir, of lifespan of a non-sentient being are declared?”
“Gautama! Four kinds of lifespan of a non-sentient being are declared, namely: hell-inhabitant non-sentient lifespan, animal non-sentient lifespan, human non-sentient lifespan, and deity non-sentient lifespan.”
“Venerable Sir, does a non-sentient jīva bind hell lifespan? Does it bind animal lifespan? Does it bind human lifespan? Does it bind deity lifespan?”
“Yes, Gautama! It binds hell lifespan too, it binds animal lifespan too, it binds human lifespan too, and it binds deity lifespan too.”
“Binding hell lifespan, it binds at the minimum ten thousand years, at the maximum an innumerableth part of a palyopama.
Binding animal lifespan, it binds at the minimum an antarmuhūrta, at the maximum an innumerableth part of a palyopama.
Binding human lifespan, it binds at the minimum an antarmuhūrta, at the maximum an innumerableth part of a palyopama.
Binding deity lifespan, it binds at the minimum ten thousand years, at the maximum an innumerableth part of a palyopama.”
“Among these, Venerable Sir—of hell-inhabitant non-sentient lifespan, animal non-sentient lifespan, human non-sentient lifespan, and deity non-sentient lifespan—which is less, or more, or equal, or specifically greater than which?”
“Gautama! Deity non-sentient lifespan is least of all; human non-sentient lifespan is innumerably greater; animal non-sentient lifespan is innumerably greater; hell-inhabitant non-sentient lifespan is innumerably greater.”
“That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!”
