"Venerable Sir! For how long in terms of time is a knower [present as] a knower?"
"Gautama! A knower is declared to be of two kinds, namely: 1. having a beginning and unending, or 2. having a beginning and ending. Therein, that which has a beginning and has an end lasts for a minimum of an antarmuhūrta, and at maximum for a little over sixty-six sāgaropamas."
"Venerable Sir! For how long in terms of time is one possessing sensory knowledge [present as] one possessing sensory knowledge?"

"Gautama! The ignorant, one possessing sensory ignorance, and one possessing scriptural ignorance are declared to be of three kinds, namely: 1. beginningless and unending, 2. beginningless and ending, [or] 3. having a beginning and ending. Therein, that which has a beginning and has an end lasts for a minimum of an antarmuhūrta, and at maximum for an infinite time—infinite avasarpinīs and utsarpinīs in terms of time, and in terms of space slightly less than half a pudgala-parivarta."

"Gautama! At minimum an antarmuhūrta, and at maximum an infinite time up to slightly less than half a pudgala-parivarta."
"For those possessing scriptural knowledge, clairvoyant knowledge, and mind-reading knowledge, it is the very same way."
"The question concerning one possessing omniscient knowledge?"
"Gautama! There is no interval."
"The question concerning one possessing sensory ignorance and one possessing scriptural ignorance?"
"Gautama! At minimum an antarmuhūrta, and at maximum a little over sixty-six sāgaropamas."
