"How many passions (kaṣāyas), Venerable Sir, are declared?"
"Gautama, four passions are declared, namely—the section on passions is to be spoken in full down to 'they will dissipate [karma] through greed.'
How many yugmas, Venerable Sir, are declared?"
"Gautama, four yugmas are declared, namely: kṛtayugma, tryoja, dvāparayugma, and kalyoja."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said—down to kalyoja?"
"Gautama, a quantity that, when divided by four, ends with four [remaining] is a kṛtayugma. A quantity that, when divided by four, ends with three [remaining] is a tryoja. A quantity that, when divided by four, ends with two [remaining] is a dvāparayugma. A quantity that, when divided by four, ends with one [remaining] is a kalyoja. For that reason, Gautama, it is said—down to kalyoja."
"Inhabitants of hell, Venerable Sir—are they kṛtayugma, tryoja, dvāparayugma, or kalyoja?"
"Gautama, in the minimal state they are kṛtayugma, in the maximal state they are tryoja, and in the non-minimal-non-maximal state they are sometimes kṛtayugma down to sometimes kalyoja. Likewise down to the Stanitakumāras."
"As for plant-bodied souls, Venerable Sir—" [the question is asked].
"Gautama, in the minimal state they are non-yugma, and in the maximal state they are non-yugma; in the non-minimal-non-maximal state they are sometimes kṛtayugma down to sometimes kalyoja."
"As for two-sensed souls—" [the question is asked].
"Gautama, in the minimal state they are kṛtayugma, in the maximal state they are dvāparayugma, and in the non-minimal-non-maximal state they are sometimes kṛtayugma down to sometimes kalyoja. Likewise down to four-sensed souls. The remaining one-sensed souls are like two-sensed souls. Five-sensed animals down to celestial beings are like inhabitants of hell. Liberated souls are like plant-bodied souls."
"Females, Venerable Sir—are they kṛtayugma—" [the question is asked].
"Gautama, in the minimal state they are kṛtayugma, in the maximal state they are kṛtayugma, and in the non-minimal-non-maximal state they are sometimes kṛtayugma down to sometimes kalyoja. Likewise also for Asurakumāra females down to Stanitakumāra females. Likewise for animal females, likewise for human females, likewise for Vāṇamantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika goddess females."
