"Venerable Sir! What lifespan duration is stated for one who is restrained by equanimity when taking rebirth in the celestial realms?"
"Gautama! At a minimum, two palyopamas; at a maximum, thirty-three sāgaropamas. Likewise also for [one restrained by] initiation."
[Regarding one who is restrained by] purificatory abandonment—question.
"Gautama! At a minimum, two palyopamas; at a maximum, eighteen sāgaropamas; for the rest, as for the nirgrantha."
"Venerable Sir! How many stages of restraint are stated for one who is restrained by equanimity?"
"Gautama! Innumerable stages of restraint are stated. Likewise up to [one restrained by] purificatory abandonment."
[Regarding one who is restrained by] subtle passion—question.
"Gautama! Innumerable stages of restraint lasting an antarmuhūrta are stated."
[Regarding one who is restrained by] conformable conduct—question.
"Gautama! One single stage of restraint, neither minimum nor maximum, is stated."
"Venerable Sir! Among the stages of restraint of these [monks] restrained by equanimity, initiation, purificatory abandonment, subtle passion, and conformable conduct, which are fewer, greater, equal, or specifically greater compared to which?"
"Gautama! Fewest of all is the one single stage of restraint, neither minimum nor maximum, of [one who has] restraint of conformable conduct; the stages of restraint lasting an antarmuhūrta of one restrained by subtle passion are innumerably manifold; the stages of restraint of one restrained by purificatory abandonment are innumerably manifold; the stages of restraint of both one restrained by equanimity and one restrained by initiation are mutually equal and innumerably manifold."
