Chapter 4 - Verse 614: In the divine realm, there are many types of celestial beings classified as deities, including Indra, and they are categorized into several groups. The eight divisions of Vyantarikaya and the five types of Jyotishkanikaya are only represented in the eight primary categories; because the deities of the kinds related to the thirty-three and the Lokapala are not included in these. The rule concerning the number of Indras states that in the first two categories, there are two Indras each. Among the demon sons of the Bhavanapati category and the eight types of demigods in the Vyantarikaya, there are also two Indras each. For instance, Chamar and Bali among the Asura Kumara, Dhara and Bhutananda among the Nagakumara, Hari and Harisah among the Vighukumara, Venudev and Venudari among the Suparnakumara, Agnishikh and Agnimanav among the Agnikumara, Velamba and Prabhajana among the Vayukumara, Sush and Mahaghosh among the Swanita Kumara, Jalakant and Jalaprabha among the Uddhikumar, and Purna and Vasistha among the Dvipa Kumara, as well as Amitagati and Amitavahana among the Dikku mari, are all Indras. Similarly, in the Vyantarikaya, among the Kinnaras, there are Kinnaras and Kingurush, in Kimpurush, Satpurush and Mahapurush, in Meherg, Atikaya and Mahakaya, in Gandha, Geetarati and Geetayash, in Yakshas, Purnabhadra and Manibhadra, in Rakshasas, Bhima and Mahabhima, among the Bhutas, Pratirupa and Apratirupa, and among the Pisachas, Kala and Mahakala, with two Indras each.| SR No. | 001074 |
