[278] The Prajñāpanā Sūtra states that the area covered by the countless parts of a finger, which is smaller than the length, is only a small area. The entire statement of the one-sensed being should be understood as being the same as the aggregate being. The area, time, and action of the being, etc., which are associated with the Vaikriya Samudghāta, should be understood as follows: / _2156. [1] O Bhagavan! What is the area that is filled and what is the area that is touched by the beings who are deluded by the Vaikriya Samudghāta, who are deluded by the Vaikriya Samudghāta, and who are deluded by the Vaikriya Samudghāta? / Gautama! The area that is filled and the area that is touched is as much as the extent and bulk of the body, as much as the countless parts of a finger in length, and as much as the countless yojanas in height, in one direction or in all directions. [2156-1 Pr.] O Bhagavan! What is the area that is filled and what is the area that is touched by the beings who are deluded by the Vaikriya Samudghāta, who are deluded by the Vaikriya Samudghāta, and who are deluded by the Vaikriya Samudghāta? / Gautama! The area that is filled and the area that is touched is as much as the extent and bulk of the body, as much as the countless parts of a finger in length, and as much as the countless yojanas in height, in one direction or in all directions. [2] O Bhagavan! How much time does it take to fill and touch that area? / Gautama! It takes one, two, or three moments to fill and touch that area. / The rest of the statement is the same as before, up to the point where it says "five actions are required." 2160. This is how it should be said. The area that is filled and touched is as much as the countless parts of a finger in length and as much as the countless yojanas in height, in one direction. / How much time does it take to fill and touch that area? The answer is the same as the statement about the aggregate being (Su. 2156). / [2160] The same should be said about the Narakas (the statement about the Vaikriya Samudghāta). The special thing is that the area that is filled and touched is as much as the countless parts of a finger in length and as much as the countless yojanas in height, in one direction. How much time does it take to fill and touch that area? The answer is the same as the statement about the aggregate being (Su. 2156). / 2161. Just as the statement about the Narakas (Su. 2160) is made, so also the statement about the Asura Kumaras should be made. / The area that is filled and touched is as much as the countless parts of a finger in length and as much as the countless yojanas in height, in one direction or in all directions. / This should be continued up to the statement about the Thaṇiya Kumaras. [2161] Just as the statement about the Narakas (Su. 2160) is made, so also the statement about the Asura Kumaras should be made. / The area that is filled and touched is as much as the countless parts of a finger in length and as much as the countless yojanas in height, in one direction or in all directions. / This should be continued up to the statement about the Thaṇiya Kumaras. 1.
