"Venerable Sir! Would a pulāka be engaged in instinctual consciousness or not engaged in instinctual consciousness?"
"Gautama! He would not be engaged in instinctual consciousness."
"Venerable Sir! A bakuśa—[the question]."
"Gautama! He may be engaged in instinctual consciousness, or he may not be engaged in instinctual consciousness. Likewise also a pratisevanākuśīla. Likewise also a kaṣāyakuśīla. The nirgrantha and the snātaka are just as the pulāka."
