In the Harivamsha Purana, it is said that the earth is eight yojanas thick at its center, gradually thinning out towards its edges, becoming extremely subtle, reaching a size that is an infinitesimal fraction of an angula. It is shaped like a vast, white umbrella, rising upwards. ||127-128|| Scholars say that the earth's diameter is forty-five lakh yojanas. ||129|| Its circumference is one crore forty-two lakh thirty thousand two hundred ninety yojanas. ||130|| Above the earth are the three previously mentioned vata-valayas (wind circles). Two of these circles, with a diameter of three kosas, are surpassed by the third, the tanu-vata-valaya, which is one thousand five hundred seventy-five dhanus wide. ||131|| At the end of this tanu-vata-valaya, which is five hundred twenty-five dhanus thick, reside the Siddhas, having attained their supreme state of liberation. ||132|| The space of the sky where the Siddhas reside is considered to be three and a half hastas less than the height of their bodies, which was previously stated to be three and a half hastas. ||133-134|| Where one Siddha, having achieved his purpose, resides, there also reside infinite other Siddhas, each in their own state of liberation. ||135|| These Siddhas are bodiless, blissful, and filled with the essence of jivas. They know all the lokas and alokas, with their infinite permutations and combinations, simultaneously, and remain eternally happy. ||136-137|| The Siddhas are pure, enlightened, free from birth, ageless, and unbound by karma. They reside eternally in their unshakeable abode. ||138||
