"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, do the suns at the time of rising appear far away and near? At the time of midday appear near and far away? At the time of setting appear far away and near?"
"Yes, Gautama! In Jambūdvīpa island, the suns at the time of rising appear far away and near, at the time of midday appear near and far away, [and] at the time of setting appear far away and near."
"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, are the suns at the time of rising, at the time of midday, and at the time of setting equal in height everywhere?"
"Yes, Gautama! In Jambūdvīpa island, the suns at the time of rising, at the time of midday, and at the time of setting are equal in height everywhere."
"If, Venerable Sir, in Jambūdvīpa island the suns are equal in height everywhere at the time of rising, at the time of midday, and at the time of setting, then for what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: 'In Jambūdvīpa island, do the suns at the time of rising appear far away and near, up to at the time of setting appear far away and near?'"
"Gautama! Due to the obstruction of light-rays, at the time of rising they appear far away and near; due to the intense radiance of light-rays, at the time of midday they appear near and far away; due to the obstruction of light-rays, at the time of setting they appear far away and near. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'In Jambūdvīpa island, the suns at the time of rising appear far away and near, up to at the time of setting appear far away and near.'
"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, do the suns traverse past space? Do they traverse present space? Do they traverse future space?"
"Gautama! They do not traverse past space; they traverse present space; they do not traverse future space."
"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, do the suns illuminate past space? Do they illuminate present space? Do they illuminate future space?"
"Gautama! They do not illuminate past space; they illuminate present space; they do not illuminate future space."
"Venerable Sir, do they illuminate what is touched, or illuminate what is untouched?"
"Gautama! They illuminate what is touched, they do not illuminate what is untouched, up to invariably in the six directions."
"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, do the suns brighten past space?"
"Just so, up to invariably in the six directions."
"So they heat; so they radiate, up to invariably in the six directions."
"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, is activity performed by the suns in past space? Is activity performed in present space? Is activity performed in future space?"
"Gautama! Activity is not performed in past space; activity is performed in present space; activity is not performed in future space."
"Venerable Sir, is it performed as touched, or performed as untouched?"
"Gautama! It is performed as touched, not performed as untouched, up to invariably in the six directions."
"Venerable Sir! In Jambūdvīpa island, how much space do the suns heat above? How much space do they heat below? How much space do they heat horizontally?"
"Gautama! They heat one hundred yojanas above; they heat one thousand eight hundred yojanas below; they heat forty-seven thousand two hundred and sixty-three and twenty-one sixtieth parts of a yojana horizontally."
"Venerable Sir, those celestial beings who are moons, suns, planet groups, constellations, and asterisms inside the Mānuṣottara mountain—are they, Venerable Sir, reborn upward?"
As in the *Jīvājīvābhigama*, precisely so in its entirety, up to:
"Venerable Sir, for how long a time is the place of Indra vacant of rebirth?"
"Gautama! At minimum, one samaya; at maximum, six months."
"Venerable Sir, those celestial beings who are moons, suns, planet groups, constellations, and asterisms outside the Mānuṣottara mountain—are they, Venerable Sir, reborn upward?"
As in the *Jīvājīvābhigama*, up to:
"Venerable Sir, for how long a time is the place of Indra taught to be vacant of rebirth?"
"Gautama! At minimum, one samaya; at maximum, six months."
"That is so, Venerable Sir! That is so, Venerable Sir!"
