Fourth Chapter
1. That which has infinite extension, infinite own-space, and is devoid of other substances, is called the Alokakasha (the space beyond the universe).
2. Since no living or non-living substances are perceived in it, it is known by the name of Alokakasha.
3. There is neither motion nor rest for the jivas (living beings) and pudgalas (matter) in it, as the instrumental causes, dharma (merit) and adharma (demerit), are absent.
4. In the middle of this Alokakasha, the infinite-spaced Loka (universe) exists, which is mixed with the Lokakasha (space within the universe).
5. The five Astikaya (eternal substances) along with their extensions exist in this Loka, hence it is called the Loka.
6. This Loka is like a Vetrasana (bamboo seat), Mridanga (drum), and a large Jhallari (cymbal) - below, above, and transverse, respectively.
7. Just as a Mridanga has a semi-circular shape below, the shape of this Loka is also quadrangular.
8. The form of this Loka is like the steady posture of a person standing with hands on the hips.
9. The Adholoka (lower world) extends for seven Rajju (unit of length) in its own expanse, and the remaining Rajju extends in the middle Triloka (three worlds).
10. Upwards, the extension increases by five Rajju up to the vicinity of Brahma and Brahmotkrishta (higher celestial realms), and then decreases by one Rajju at the end of the Loka.
11. The total length of the three Lokas is fourteen Rajju, with seven Rajju below and seven Rajju above the Sumeru mountain.
12. The Rajju extending from the lower part of Chitra (earth) up to the end of the second earth, and the Rajju from the end of the second earth up to the end of the third earth, and so on.
13. The Rajju ends at the end of the fifth earth, the fourth Rajju at the end of the sixth earth, and the seventh Rajju is situated at the end of the Loka.
