"Venerable Sir! Could one who possesses sāmāyika-restraint be in a descending era (avasarpiṇīkāla), in an ascending era (utsarpiṇīkāla), or in a non-descending-non-ascending era (no-avasarpiṇī-no-utsarpiṇī-kāla)?"
"Gautama! In a descending era, as [stated for] bakuśa. Likewise also one who possesses chedopasthāpanīya-restraint, with the only difference: with respect to birth and actual presence, they do not exist in all four divisions; with respect to conveyance (translocation), he could be in any one of the divisions; the rest is just that."
[As for] one who possesses parihāraviśuddhika-restraint—the question.
"Gautama! He could be in a descending era, or he could be in an ascending era; he could not be in a non-descending-non-ascending era. If he is in a descending era, he is as [stated for] pulāka; in an ascending era too, he is as [stated for] pulāka. One who possesses sūkṣmasamparāya-restraint is like a nirgrantha. Likewise also one who possesses yathākhyāta-restraint."
