Jonaa
1. Joisa (Jyotisa)
One of the four classes of gods. The gods of this class are of five categories: (1) Süra(1), (2) Camda(1), (3) Gaha, (4) Nakkhatta(1), (5) Tara(3).1 Their territory starts at a distance of 790 yojanas from the surface of this earth where the celestial abodes of some Tārās exist. Thereafter come the abodes of Suriyas, Camdas, Nakkhattas and Gahas one after another.2 Suriyas and Camdas are their lords (indras).3 The number of Taras is the biggest and that of Suriyas and Camdas is the smallest. Similarly they differ from one another as regards their speed of motion.5
