In Rājagṛha, up to: he spoke thus:
"How many, Venerable Sir, are the minor yugmas declared to be?"
"Gautama! Four minor yugmas are declared to be, namely: kṛtayugma, tryoja, dvāparayugma, and kalyoja."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said thus: 'Four minor yugmas are declared to be, namely: kṛtayugma up to kalyoja'?"
"Gautama! A quantity which, when divided by the divisor of four, ends with a remainder of four—that is a minor kṛtayugma. A quantity which, when divided by the divisor of four, ends with a remainder of three—that is a minor tryoja. A quantity which, when divided by the divisor of four, ends with a remainder of two—that is a minor dvāparayugma. A quantity which, when divided by the divisor of four, ends with a remainder of one—that is a minor kalyoja. For that reason, up to kalyoja."
"From where, Venerable Sir, are inhabitants of hell of the minor kṛtayugma reborn? Do they get reborn from inhabitants of hell? From animals—the question."
"Gautama! They are not reborn from inhabitants of hell. Thus, the rebirth of inhabitants of hell should be stated as in the 'Descent' chapter."
"In a single moment, Venerable Sir, how many of those jīvas are reborn?"
"Gautama! Four, or eight, or twelve, or sixteen, or numerable, or innumerable are reborn."
"How, Venerable Sir, are those jīvas reborn?"
"Gautama! Just as a jumper jumping, through an operation generated by volition—thus, as was stated for the inhabitants of hell in the eighth uddeśaka of the twenty-fifth śataka, exactly so should it be stated here as well, up to: they are reborn through their own exertion, they are not reborn through the exertion of another."
"From where, Venerable Sir, are inhabitants of hell of the minor kṛtayugma of the Ratnaprabhā earth reborn?"
Thus, as was stated for general inhabitants of hell, that very same exposition should be stated for Ratnaprabhā as well, up to: they are not reborn through the exertion of another. Likewise also for Śarkarāprabhā, thus up to the Seventh Nethemost. Thus rebirth is as in the 'Descent' chapter:
Non-sentient beings indeed [go] to the first; reptiles up to the second; birds to the third;
Lions go to the fourth; but uragas to the fifth earth;
Women to the sixth; and fish and humans to the seventh earth.
This is the maximum descent to be known for the hell-earths.
The rest is exactly the same.
"From where, Venerable Sir, are inhabitants of hell of the minor tryoja reborn? Are they from inhabitants of hell?"
Rebirth is as in the 'Descent' chapter.
"In a single moment, Venerable Sir, how many of those jīvas are reborn?"
"Gautama! Three, or seven, or eleven, or fifteen, or numerable, or innumerable are reborn. The rest is as for the kṛtayugma. Thus up to the Seventh Nethermost."
"From where, Venerable Sir, are inhabitants of hell of the minor dvāparayugma reborn?"
It is just the same as for the minor kṛtayugma, with this difference: the quantity is two, or six, or ten, or fourteen, or numerable, or innumerable. The rest is that very same, up to the Seventh Nethermost.
"From where, Venerable Sir, are inhabitants of hell of the minor kalyoja reborn?"
It is just the same as for the minor kṛtayugma, with this difference: the quantity is one, or five, or nine, or thirteen, or numerable, or innumerable are reborn. The rest is that very same. Thus up to the Seventh Nethermost.
"It is so, Venerable Sir! It is so, Venerable Sir!" Up to: he wanders.
