A. 284. Gautama! Not heavy, nor light, heavy-light, not non-heavy-non-light. And so with the seventh viscous wind, the seventh viscous water, the seventh hell; and with all the hulls the same as with the seventh hulls; and as with the light-wind (stated to be ) heavy-light, so with the viscous wind, the viscous water, the hells, the islands, the seas and the regions.
