egajīve ṇaṃ bhaṃte! egabhavaggahaṇeṇaṃ kevaiyāṇaṃ puttattāe havvāmāgacchai?
goyamā! jahanneṇaṃ ikkassa vā doṇha vā tiṇha vā, ukkoseṇaṃ sayapuhattassa jīvā ṇaṃ puttattāe havvamāgacchaṃti|

"Venerable Sir, to how many [parents] does a single jīva come to be a son in a single assumption of existence?"
"Gautama, at the minimum to one, or two, or three; at the maximum, jīvas come to be sons of several hundred."
