[Eleventh Discourse] [79] It takes in the four kinds of touch-possessing substances, as follows: It takes in those possessing cold touch, those possessing hot touch, those possessing smooth touch, and those possessing rough touch. / [14] Does the being take in those possessing one-quality cold touch, or does it take in those possessing infinite-quality cold touch? / [14] Gautama! It takes in those possessing one-quality cold touch, and it also takes in those possessing infinite-quality cold touch. / Similarly, it takes in those possessing one-quality hot, smooth, and rough touch, and it also takes in those possessing infinite-quality hot, smooth, and rough touch. / [15] Venerable Sir! Does the being take in those possessing infinite-quality touch, or does it take in those that are touched, or those that are not touched? / [15] Gautama! It takes in those that are touched, not those that are not touched. / [16] Venerable Sir! Does the being take in those that are touched, or does it take in those that are deeply touched, or those that are not deeply touched? / [16] Gautama! It takes in those that are deeply touched, not those that are not deeply touched. / [17] Venerable Sir! Does the being take in those that are deeply touched, or does it take in those that are infinitely deeply touched, or those that are successively deeply touched? / [17] Gautama! It takes in those that are infinitely deeply touched, not those that are successively deeply touched.
