Does1 the soul, O Lord! bind the life-span of that life-form, in which he is destined to be born, for instance, the life-span of infernal, of the sub-human being, of the human or of celestial?
Yes Gautama! the soul binds the life-span of that life-form, in which he is destined to be born, for instance, the life-span of infernal, of the sub-human, of the human or of celestial. The soul that binds the life-span of the infernal binds seven types of life-span: viz., the life-span of the infernal of Ratnaprabhā land, the life-span of the the infernal of Śarkrāprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of the Bālukāprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Pankaprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Dhūmaprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Tamaḥprabhā land, the life-span of the infernal of Adhaḥsaptami land. The soul that binds the life-span of the sub-human being binds five types of life-span, namely the life-span of one-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of two-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of three-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of four-sensed sub-human being, the life-span of five-sensed sub-human being. The soul that binds the life-span of the human being binds two types of life-span, namely, the human being born by agglutination of material particles, or the human being born in the womb. The soul that binds the life-span of celestial binds four types of life-span, namely, the life-span of Mansion gods, the life-span of Forest gods, the life-span of Luminous gods or the life-span of Empyrean gods.
