[All-beings-approach] [211 Bhagavan! How long do Earth-bodied beings live as Earth-bodied beings? Gautama! From the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, an innumerable time, which is from the innumerable Utsarpini-Avasarpini forms (Kalmarganga) and from the Kshetramarganga, it is equal to the time of the innumerable Lokakashapradeshas. Similarly, one should know the duration of the Apkayika, Tejaskaika, and Vayukaika. Bhagavan! What is the duration of the Vanaspatikaika? Gautama! From the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, the Vanaspatikaal. Bhagavan! How long can a two-sensed being live as a two-sensed being? Gautama! From the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, a Sankhyata time. Similarly, one should know the duration of the three-sensed and four-sensed beings. Bhagavan! How long does a five-sensed being live as a five-sensed being? Gautama! From the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, a Sadik one thousand Sagaropama. Bhagavan! How long does an insensed being live as an insensed being? Gautama! Since it is Sadi-Aperyavasit, it always remains in that form. Bhagavan! What is the difference of the Earth-bodied beings? Gautama! From the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, the Vanaspatikaal. Similarly, one should know the difference of the Apkayika, Tejaskaika, and Vayukaika. The difference of the Vanaspatikaika is the same as the duration of the Earth-bodied beings, that is, from the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, an innumerable time. Similarly, the difference of these four, the two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, and five-sensed, is from the least, an antarmukhurta, and from the most, the Vanaspatikaal. Since the insensed is Sadi-Aperyavasit, it has no difference. Bhagavan! Among these Earth-bodied, Apkayika, Tejaskaika, Vayukaika, Vanaspatikaika, two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, five-sensed, and insensed, who is less, more, equal, or superior to whom? Gautama! The five-sensed are the least, the four-sensed are superior to them, the three-sensed are superior to them, the two-sensed are superior to them, the Tejaskaika are innumerable times more, the Earth-bodied are superior to them, the Apkayika are superior to them, the Vayukaika are superior to them, the insensed are infinite times more, and the Vanaspatikaika are infinite times more. The discussion of the logic and feeling of all these has been said in the previous places. Therefore, it is not being repeated. The inquisitive people should see it in its place. 259.
