[426] [Prajñāpanasūtra [Pr.]] Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite permutations of the lowest-quality black atomic pudgalas? [U.] Gautama! One lowest-quality black atomic pudgala is equal to another lowest-quality black atomic pudgala in terms of substance, is six-fold different in terms of regions, is equal in terms of comprehension, is four-fold different in terms of position, is equal in terms of permutations of the black color, does not have the remaining colors, and is six-fold different in terms of smell, taste, and two touches. [2] And in the same way for the highest-quality black (atomic pudgalas, one should understand the permutations). [3] In the same way, one should understand the permutations of the medium-quality black atomic pudgalas. The special thing is that they are six-fold different in their own place. [536] [1] Bhagavan! How many permutations are there of the lowest-quality black two-regioned skandhas? [539-1 U.] Gautama! There are infinite permutations. [Pr.] Bhagavan! Why is it said that there are infinite permutations of the lowest-quality black two-regioned skandhas? [U.] Gautama! One lowest-quality black two-regioned skandha is equal to another lowest-quality black two-regioned skandha in terms of substance, is equal in terms of regions; in terms of comprehension, it is sometimes less, sometimes equal, and sometimes more. If it is less, it is one region less, and if it is more, it is one region more. In terms of position, it is four-fold different, is equal in terms of permutations of the black color, and is six-fold different in terms of the remaining colors and the above four touches. [2] And in the same way for the highest-quality black (atomic pudgalas, one should understand the permutations).
