The ninth attainment of the tenfold classification [157. The accumulation (body state) of the first-time beings is one time less than the lowest and one time more than the highest / The accumulation (body state) of the non-first-time beings is one time less than the lowest, a small-being-grasp, and the highest is the plant-period of the one-sensed, the countable-period of the two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed, and the saadic thousand-ocean-like period of the five-sensed. 230. What is the difference between the first-time one-sensed beings? Gautama! The lowest is two small-being-grasps less than the time, and the highest is the plant-period. The difference between the non-first-time one-sensed beings is one small-being-grasp more than the time, and the highest is two thousand ocean-like years of countable-period. _The difference between all the rest of the first-time beings is two small-being-grasps less than the time, and the highest is the plant-period / The difference between the rest of the non-first-time beings is one small-being-grasp more than the time, and the highest is the plant-period. Among all the first-time beings, the fewest are the first-time five-sensed, the first-time four-sensed are more special, the first-time three-sensed are more special, the first-time two-sensed are more special, and the first-time one-sensed are more special. Similarly, the scarcity of the non-first-time beings should also be known. The special feature is that the non-first-time one-sensed are infinitely numerous.
Both the first-time one-sensed and the non-first-time one-sensed are infinitely numerous / The rest of the first-time beings and the non-first-time beings are countless times numerous / Thus, Venerable Sir! Is there any difference between the first-time one-sensed, the non-first-time one-sensed, and the non-first-time four-sensed, whether it is less, more, equal, or special? Gautama! The first-time four-sensed are special, the first-time three-sensed are special, the first-time two-sensed are special, and so on down to the first-time one-sensed are special, the non-first-time five-sensed are countless times numerous, the non-first-time four-sensed are special, and so on down to the non-first-time one-sensed are infinitely numerous / Thus, the beings who are bound to the cycle of existence are liberated. Thus, the beings who are bound to the cycle of existence are liberated. 230. Bhagavan! What is the difference between the first-time one-sensed beings? Gautama! The lowest is two small-being-grasps less than the time, and the highest is the plant-period / The difference between the non-first-time one-sensed beings is one time more than the time, and the highest is two thousand ocean-like years of countable-period. The difference between all the rest of the first-time beings is one time less than the time, and the highest is the plant-period / The difference between the rest of the non-first-time beings is one small-being-grasp more than the time, and the highest is the plant-period. Among all the first-time beings, the fewest are the first-time five-sensed, the first-time four-sensed are more special, the first-time three-sensed are more special, the first-time two-sensed are more special, and the first-time one-sensed are more special. Similarly, the scarcity of the non-first-time beings should also be known. The special feature is that the non-first-time one-sensed are infinitely numerous.
