"Venerable Sir!" Saying thus, the venerable Gautama paid homage to and bowed before the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, and having paid homage and bowed, spoke thus: "Venerable Sir! Do jīvas increase? Do they decrease? Are they constant?"
"Gautama! Jīvas do not increase, nor do they decrease; they are constant."
"Venerable Sir! Do inhabitants of hell increase? Do they decrease? Are they constant?"
"Gautama! Inhabitants of hell increase, decrease, and are also constant."
"As for the inhabitants of hell, so up to the Vaimānikas."
"Venerable Sir! Concerning the liberated souls, [the same] question."
"Gautama! Liberated souls increase, they do not decrease, and they are also constant."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time are jīvas constant?"
"Gautama! For all time."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time do inhabitants of hell increase?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for an innumerableth part of an āvalikā."
"So also they decrease."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time are inhabitants of hell constant?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for twenty-four muhūrtas."
"In this way, their increasing and decreasing should be stated for all seven earths, with this difference only regarding their being constant: namely, in the Ratnaprabhā earth, forty-eight muhūrtas; in the Śarkarāprabhā, fourteen day-and-nights; in the Vālukāprabhā, one month; in the Paṅkaprabhā, two months; in the Dhūmaprabhā, four months; in the Tamā, eight months; in the Tamastamā, twelve months."
"Asurakumāras also increase and decrease like the inhabitants of hell. They are constant at a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for forty-eight muhūrtas."
"So also for all ten classes [of Bhavanapatis]."
"One-sensed beings increase, decrease, and are also constant. In all three of these, at a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for an innumerableth part of an āvalikā."
"Two-sensed beings increase and decrease in the same way; they are constant at a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for two antarmuhūrtas."
"So up to four-sensed beings."
"All remaining beings increase and decrease in the same way, with this difference regarding their being constant, namely: for spontaneously generated five-sensed animals, two antarmuhūrtas; for womb-born animals, twenty-four muhūrtas; for spontaneously generated humans, forty-eight muhūrtas; for womb-born humans, twenty-four muhūrtas; among the Vāṇamantaras, Jyotiṣkas, Saudharma, and Īśāna [gods], forty-eight muhūrtas; in Sanatkumāra, eighteen day-and-nights and forty muhūrtas; in Māhendra, twenty-four day-and-nights and twenty muhūrtas; in Brahmaloka, forty-five day-and-nights; in Lāntaka, ninety day-and-nights; in Mahāśukra, one hundred and sixty day-and-nights; in Sahasrāra, two hundred day-and-nights; for Ānata and Prāṇata, a countable number of months; for Āraṇa and Acyuta, a countable number of years; similarly for the Graiveyaka gods; for Vijaya, Vaijayanta, Jayanta, and Aparājita, innumerable thousands of years; in Sarvārthasiddha, a countable part of a palyopama."
"It should be stated thus: they increase and decrease at a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for an innumerableth part of an āvalikā; for their being constant, as has been said."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time do the liberated souls increase?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for eight samayas."
"For how long a time are they constant?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for six months."
"Venerable Sir! Are jīvas with increase? With decrease? With increase and decrease? Devoid of increase and devoid of decrease?"
"Gautama! Jīvas are not with increase, not with decrease, not with increase and decrease; they are devoid of increase and devoid of decrease."
"One-sensed beings are in the third case; all remaining jīvas should be stated with all four cases."
"Venerable Sir! Concerning the liberated souls, [the same] question."
"Gautama! Liberated souls are with increase, not with decrease, not with increase and decrease; they are devoid of increase and devoid of decrease."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time are jīvas devoid of increase and devoid of decrease?"
"Gautama! For all time."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time are inhabitants of hell with increase?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for an innumerableth part of an āvalikā."
"For how long a time are they with decrease?"
"Just the same."
"For how long a time are they with increase and decrease?"
"Just the same."
"For how long a time are they devoid of increase and devoid of decrease?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for twelve muhūrtas."
"All one-sensed beings are with increase and decrease for all time. All the rest are with increase, with decrease, and with increase and decrease at a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for an innumerableth part of an āvalikā. For their being constant, the interval of transmigration should be stated."
"Venerable Sir! For how long a time are liberated souls with increase?"
"Gautama! At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for eight samayas."
"For how long a time are they devoid of increase and devoid of decrease?"
"At a minimum for one samaya, at a maximum for six months."
"So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!"
