At Rājagṛha, and so on, he spoke thus:
"Venerable Sir! Are there potential hell-matter beings, potential hell-matter beings?"
"Yes, there are."
"Venerable Sir! For what reason is it said: 'potential hell-matter beings, potential hell-matter beings'?"
"Gautama! Any five-sensed animal or human being who is fit to be reborn among the hell-beings. For that reason. In this manner up to the Stanitakumāras."
"Venerable Sir! Are there potential earth-bodied matter beings, potential earth-bodied matter beings?"
"Yes, there are."
"For what reason?"
"Gautama! Any animal, human being, or celestial being who is fit to be reborn among the earth-bodied beings. For that reason. For water-bodied and plant-bodied beings it is just the same. And for fire-bodied, air-bodied, two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed beings, any animal or human being who is fit to be reborn among fire-bodied, air-bodied, two-sensed, three-sensed, or four-sensed beings. For five-sensed animals, any hell-being, animal, human being, or celestial being who is fit to be reborn among five-sensed animals. So also for human beings. For Vyantaras, Jyotiṣkas, and Vaimānikas, it is as for hell-beings."
"Venerable Sir! How long is the lifespan duration declared for a potential hell-matter being?"
"Gautama! At the minimum, an antarmuhūrta; at the maximum, a pūrvakoṭi."
"Venerable Sir! How long is the lifespan duration declared for a potential Asurakumāra matter being?"
"Gautama! At the minimum, an antarmuhūrta; at the maximum, three palyopamas. In this manner up to the Stanitakumāra."
"Regarding a potential earth-bodied matter being—" the question.
"Gautama! At the minimum, an antarmuhūrta; at the maximum, two sāgaropamas with an excess. In this manner also for a water-bodied being. For fire-bodied and air-bodied beings, it is as for a hell-being. For a plant-bodied being, it is as for an earth-bodied being. For a two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed being, it is as for a hell-being. For a five-sensed animal: at the minimum, an antarmuhūrta; at the maximum, thirty-three sāgaropamas. So also for a human being. For a Vyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika, it is as for an Asurakumāra."
"That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!"
