“Venerable Sir! Is one space-point of the physical-substance-aggregate (pudgalāstikāya):
1. a substance?
2. a part of a substance?
3. substances?
4. parts of substances?
5. or both a substance and a part of a substance?
6. or both a substance and parts of substances?
7. or both substances and a part of a substance?
8. or both substances and parts of substances?”
“Gautama!
1. In some sense it is a substance;
2. in some sense it is a part of a substance;
3. it is not substances;
4. it is not parts of substances;
5. it is not both a substance and a part of a substance;
6. it is not both a substance and parts of substances;
7. it is not both substances and a part of a substance;
8. it is not both substances and parts of substances.

Venerable Sir! Are two space-points of the physical-substance-aggregate a substance? a part of a substance? — [the same] inquiry.”
“Gautama! In some sense [they are] a substance; in some sense [they are] a part of a substance; in some sense [they are] substances; in some sense [they are] parts of substances; in some sense [they are] both a substance and a part of a substance. The remaining [three combinations] are to be negated.

Venerable Sir! Are three space-points of the physical-substance-aggregate a substance? a part of a substance? — [the same] inquiry.”
“Gautama! In some sense [they are] a substance; in some sense [they are] a part of a substance; thus seven alternatives are to be stated down to: in some sense [they are] substances and a part of a substance; [and] not both substances and parts of substances.

Venerable Sir! Are four space-points of the physical-substance-aggregate a substance? — [the same] inquiry.”
“Gautama! In some sense [they are] a substance; in some sense [they are] a part of a substance; all eight alternatives are to be stated down to: in some sense [they are] substances and parts of substances. Just as four are stated, so also five, six, seven, up to countably many [and] countably many.

Venerable Sir! Are infinite space-points of the physical-substance-aggregate a substance?”
“In the very same way, down to: in some sense [they are] substances and parts of substances.”
