“Is it cognized, Venerable Sir, by the inhabitants of hell situated there, in this manner, namely: ‘this is a samaya, or an āvalikā, up to an avasarpiṇī, or an utsarpiṇī’?”
“That meaning is not tenable.”
“For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said that it is not cognized by the inhabitants of hell situated there, in this manner, namely: ‘this is a samaya, or an āvalikā, up to an avasarpiṇī, or an utsarpiṇī’?”
“Gautama! Here [in the human realm] is their standard, here is their measure, here it is cognized by them thus: ‘this is a samaya, up to an utsarpiṇī’. For that reason, up to it is not cognized thus: ‘this is a samaya, up to an utsarpiṇī’.”

Thus up to five-sensed animals.

“Is it cognized, Venerable Sir, by humans situated here, in this manner, namely: ‘this is a samaya, up to an utsarpiṇī’?”
“Yes, it is cognized.”
“For what reason?”
“Gautama! Here is their standard, here is their measure, and here indeed it is cognized by them thus: ‘this is a samaya, up to an utsarpiṇī’. For that reason.”

Vyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika beings are as the inhabitants of hell.
