How long, O Lord! does a material entity of one unit of black colour remain (in the form of material entity of one unit of black colour)? O Gautama! in the minimum, it will (remain as such) for one samaya; in the maximum for a period of innumerable time. Similar duration is to be described) for material entities of two ..... up to infinite units of black colour.
