Chapter 4 - Verses 33-36 The condition of the remaining senses is like two palyopamas. The condition of the two asuras is respectively like the ocean and somewhat more than the ocean. The condition of the bhavanapati (lord of the dwelling) described here should be understood as excellent; because the description of the abominable state will be addressed in the following forty-third verse. The ten types of bhavanapati asuras, such as asurakumar and nagkumar, have been mentioned earlier. For each type, there are two Indras representing the southern and northern halves; their descriptions have already been provided. Among them, the excellent condition of the two southern and northern asura Indras is as follows: the southern half's sovereign, the asurendra named Amar, has a condition equivalent to an ocean, while the northern half's sovereign, the asurendra named Bali, has a condition somewhat greater than that of the ocean. Excluding the asurakumar, the nine types of bhavanapati's southern half, known as dharanendra, etc., have a condition of one and a half palyopamas, and those in the northern half, such as bhutananda, also have a condition of two palyopamas. [30-32] Now, does it describe the excellent condition of the vaimanika?
