## Fourth Chapter
**45**
Seven, five and four yojanas are added in succession, from the region of increase, to the end of the Brahma-Brahmottara heaven. ||39||
Again, from the region of decrease, five, four and three yojanas are added in succession, to the end of the Shiva heaven. ||40||
The Ghonodadhi vatavala is half a yojana (two kosas) in width, the Ghanavatavala is half of that (one kosa), and the Tanuvatavala is slightly less than that (fifteen to seventy-five dhanushas). ||41||
This world, surrounded by the three vatavalas, appears as if it were covered with armor, desiring to conquer the Mahāloka. ||42||
In this world, there are seven lands: the first is Ratnaprabha, the second is Sharkaraprabha, the third is Balukaprabha, the fourth is Pankaprabha, the fifth is Dhumaprabha, the sixth is Tamahprabaha, and the seventh is MahaTamahprabaha. These seven lands are situated on the three vatavalas, and are arranged one below the other. Finally, all of them are situated on the Ghonodadhi vatavala, which is below the Adholoka. ||43-45||
The traditional names of these lands are, in order, Gharbha, Vansha, Megha, Anjana, Aristha, Maghavi, and Madhavi. ||46||
The first land, Ratnaprabaha, is one lakh eighty thousand yojanas thick, and is divided into three parts: the Kharabhaga, the Pankabhaga, and the Abbahulabhaga. ||47||
The first Kharabhaga is sixteen thousand yojanas thick, the second Pankabhaga is eighty-four thousand yojanas thick, and the third Abbahulabhaga is eighty thousand yojanas thick. ||48-49||
The Pankabhaga is adorned with the jeweled, luminous mansions of the Rakshasas and Asura-kumāras, in order. ||50||
And the Kharabhaga is adorned with the mansions of the nine Bhavanavasis, which are luminous, self-illuminating, and of various kinds. ||51||
The Kharabhaga has sixteen layers: 1. Chitra, 2. Vajra, 3. Vaidurya, 4. Lohitanga, 5. Masaragalva, 6. Gomada, 7. Pravala, 8. Jyoti, 9. Rasa, 10. Anjana, 11. Anjanamula, 12. Anga, 13. Sphatika, 14. Chandraabha, 15. Varchaka, and 16. Bahushilāmaya. ||52-54||
Each of these layers is one thousand yojanas thick, and the luminous Kharabhaga is made up of these sixteen layers. ||55||
