"Venerable Sir, is this pudgala throughout the present eternal time dry for a moment?" Just the same.
"Venerable Sir, will this pudgala throughout future eternal time be dry for a moment?" Just the same.
"Venerable Sir, was an aggregate throughout past infinite, eternal time dry for a moment?" Just the same; an aggregate also just like pudgala.
