"Venerable Sir! Among these souls who experience the female gender, souls who experience the male gender, souls who experience the neuter gender, and those devoid of gender, which are fewer, greater, equal, or specifically more?"
"Gautama! The souls experiencing the male gender are the fewest; those experiencing the female gender are countably times more; those devoid of gender are infinitely times more; those experiencing the neuter gender are infinitely times more.
The relative quantities (alpabahutva) of all these states should be recited up to: the non-ultimate souls are the fewest, and the ultimate souls are infinitely times more."
"Indeed so, Venerable Sir! Indeed so, Venerable Sir!"
