"Venerable Sir! How many space-points does the elliptical configuration [have]?"—the question.
"Gautama! The elliptical configuration is stated to be of two kinds, namely: solid-elliptical and planar-elliptical.
Therein, that which is planar-elliptical has at minimum twenty space-points and occupies twenty space-points, [and] at maximum infinite space-points and occupies incalculable space-points.
Therein, that which is solid-elliptical is stated to have at minimum forty space-points and occupy forty space-points, [and] at maximum infinite space-points and occupy incalculable space-points."
"Venerable Sir! In terms of substance, is the elliptical configuration kṛtayugma? tryoja? dvāparayugma? [or] kalyoja?"
"Gautama! It is not kṛtayugma, not tryoja, not dvāparayugma; it is kalyoja."
"Venerable Sir! In terms of substance, [what of] the circular configuration?"
"Likewise. Thus up to the oblong."
"Venerable Sir! In terms of substance, are elliptical configurations kṛtayugma, tryoja..."—the question.
"Gautama! In general terms, they may be kṛtayugma, they may be tryoja, they may be dvāparayugma, [or] they may be kalyoja; in specific terms, they are not kṛtayugma, not tryoja, not dvāparayugma; they are kalyoja. Thus up to the oblong."
"Venerable Sir! In terms of space-points, is the elliptical configuration kṛtayugma..."—the question.
"Gautama! It may be kṛtayugma, it may be tryoja, it may be dvāparayugma, [or] it may be kalyoja. Thus up to the oblong."
"Venerable Sir! In terms of space-points, are elliptical configurations kṛtayugma..."—the question.
"Gautama! In general terms, they may be kṛtayugma up to they may be kalyoja; in specific terms, they are also kṛtayugma, also tryoja, also dvāparayugma, [and] also kalyoja. Thus up to the oblong."
"Venerable Sir! Does the elliptical configuration occupy kṛtayugma space-points up to occupy kalyoja space-points?"
"Gautama! It occupies kṛtayugma space-points; it does not occupy tryoja space-points, does not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] does not occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! Does the circular configuration occupy kṛtayugma space-points..."—the question.
"Gautama! It may occupy kṛtayugma space-points, it may occupy tryoja space-points, it does not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] it may occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! [What of] the triangular configuration?"—the question.
"Gautama! It may occupy kṛtayugma space-points, it may occupy tryoja space-points, it may occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] it does not occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! [What of] the quadrangular configuration?"
"As circular, so also quadrangular."
"Venerable Sir! [What of] the oblong?"—the question.
"Gautama! It may occupy kṛtayugma space-points up to it may occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! Do elliptical configurations occupy kṛtayugma space-points..."—the question.
"Gautama! Both in general terms and in specific terms, they occupy kṛtayugma space-points; they do not occupy tryoja space-points, do not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] do not occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! Do circular configurations occupy kṛtayugma space-points..."—the question.
"Gautama! In general terms, they occupy kṛtayugma space-points, they do not occupy tryoja space-points, do not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] do not occupy kalyoja space-points; in specific terms, they also occupy kṛtayugma space-points, also occupy tryoja space-points, do not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] also occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! Do triangular configurations occupy kṛtayugma space-points..."—the question.
"Gautama! In general terms, they occupy kṛtayugma space-points, they do not occupy tryoja space-points, do not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] do not occupy kalyoja space-points; in specific terms, they also occupy kṛtayugma space-points, also occupy tryoja space-points, do not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] also occupy kalyoja space-points. Quadrangular are like circular."
"Venerable Sir! [What of] oblong configurations?"—the question.
"Gautama! In general terms, they occupy kṛtayugma space-points, they do not occupy tryoja space-points, they do not occupy dvāparayugma space-points, [and] they do not occupy kalyoja space-points; in specific terms, they also occupy kṛtayugma space-points up to they also occupy kalyoja space-points."
"Venerable Sir! Has the elliptical configuration a lifespan duration of kṛtayugma samayas? of tryoja samayas? of dvāparayugma samayas? [or] of kalyoja samayas?"
"Gautama! It may have a lifespan duration of kṛtayugma samayas up to it may have a lifespan duration of kalyoja samayas. Thus up to the oblong."
"Venerable Sir! Have elliptical configurations a lifespan duration of kṛtayugma samayas..."—the question.
"Gautama! In general terms, they may have a lifespan duration of kṛtayugma samayas up to they may have a lifespan duration of kalyoja samayas; in specific terms, they also have a lifespan duration of kṛtayugma samayas up to they also have a lifespan duration of kalyoja samayas. Thus up to the oblong."
"Venerable Sir! In terms of black color-modifications, is the elliptical configuration kṛtayugma up to kalyoja?"
"Gautama! It may be kṛtayugma... Thus, with this expression, just as for lifespan duration. Thus for blue color-modifications. Thus for the five colors, two odors, five tastes, [and] eight touches up to dry-touch modifications."
