From the knowledge, how much area is filled and how much area is pervaded by the karmic particles that are separated from the soul's regions? / [2156-1 U] Gautama! In terms of extension and thickness, the area of the body and the area of the smallest finger in length (mayaam) is filled and pervaded in one direction (from the smallest fraction of an angul to the highest innumerable yojanas). / So much area is filled and so much area is pervaded. / [2] Then, Bhante! For how long is the field unfilled and for how long is it filled? Gautama! It is unfilled for one, two, three, or four moments and it is filled for one, two, three, or four moments. / The rest is the same as before, up to five actions. [2156-2 Pr.] Bhagavan! For how long is that field filled with karmic particles and for how long is it pervaded? [2156-2 U] Gautama! That (the field that is innumerable yojanas long) is filled and pervaded by those karmic particles for one, two, three, or four moments. Then, the rest is the same as before, up to five actions. / 2157. And so on. Now, in terms of length, the smallest is a few thousand yojanas and the largest is innumerable yojanas. In one direction, that field is filled and pervaded by those karmic particles. It should be said that it is filled and pervaded for one, two, or three moments, but not for four moments. Then, the rest is the same as before, up to five actions. / [2157] The same should be understood for the hell-being as for the aggregate being. / The special thing is that the smallest length is a few thousand yojanas and the largest is innumerable yojanas. In one direction, that field is filled and pervaded by those karmic particles. It should be said that it is filled and pervaded for one, two, or three moments, but not for four moments. Then, the rest is the same as before, up to five actions. / 2158. [1] The statement of the Asura-Kumar is like that of the being (Su. 2156) / The special thing is that the Asura-Kumar's moment (as stated in Su. 2157) is like that of the hell-being, three moments. / The rest is the same as before. / _ [2158-1] The statement of the Asura-Kumar should also be understood according to the statement of the being (in Su. 2156) regarding the killing-ending-destruction. / The special thing is that the Asura-Kumar's moment (as stated in Su. 2157) should be understood as three moments, like that of the hell-being. / The rest is the same as before. /
