## Harivansh Purana, Chapter 268:
**Verse 2:** The height of the Narakas (hells) is 500 bows, and the height of the Devas (gods) is 25 bows. Their lifespan is the same as before.
**Verse 3:** There are six types of "Paryapti" (sufficiency): food, body, senses, breath, speech, and mind.
**Verse 4:** The five senses are touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing. Stationary beings have only the sense of touch, while mobile beings have all five senses.
**Verse 5:** There are two types of senses: "Bhaavendriya" (mental sense) and "Dravyendriya" (physical sense). The mental senses are "Labdhi" (acquisition) and "Upayog" (use), while the physical senses are "Nivritti" (cessation) and "Upakaran" (instrument).
**Verse 6:** The sense of touch has many forms, the sense of taste is like a razor, the sense of smell imitates the fragrance of a "Ati Mukta" flower, the sense of sight follows a lentil, and the sense of hearing is like a barley stalk. This is the description of the physical senses.
**Verse 8:** The maximum range of the sense of touch for a one-sense being is 400 bows. For beings with more senses, the range doubles with each additional sense.
**Verse 9:** The range of the sense of touch for a two-sense being is 800 bows, for a three-sense being is 1600 bows, for a four-sense being is 3200 bows, and for a five-sense being is 6400 bows. The range of the sense of taste for a two-sense being is 64 bows, for a three-sense being is 128 bows, for a four-sense being is 256 bows, and for a five-sense being is 500 bows. The range of the sense of smell for a three-sense being is 100 bows, for a four-sense being is 200 bows, and for a five-sense being is 400 bows.
**Verse 10:** A four-sense being can see up to 2954 yojanas with its sense of sight.
**Verse 11:** A five-sense being can see up to 6960 yojanas with its sense of sight. The range of hearing for a five-sense being is 1 yojana.
**Verse 12:** A five-sense being can perceive touch, taste, and smell up to 9 yojanas away. It can perceive sound up to 12 yojanas away.
