"Venerable Sir! What interval of time is there for a pulāka?"
"Gautama! At a minimum an antarmuhūrta, at a maximum an infinite time—infinite avasarpinīs and utsarpinīs in time; in space, less than half a pudgala-parāvartana. Likewise up to for a nirgrantha."
"For a snātaka—[the question]."
"Gautama! There is no interval."
"Venerable Sir! What interval of time is there for pulākas [as a group]?"
"Gautama! At a minimum one samaya, at a maximum a numerable [number of] years."
"Venerable Sir! For bakuśas—[the question]."
"Gautama! There is no interval. Likewise up to for kaṣāyakuśīlas."
"For nirgranthas—[the question]."
"Gautama! At a minimum one samaya, at a maximum six months. For snātakas it is just as for bakuśas."
