8377. यथाक्रममित्यनुवर्तते । तेषु नरकेषु भूमिमेण यथासंख्य मे कावयः स्थितयोऽभिसंबध्यन्ते । रत्नप्रभायामुत्कृष्टा स्थितिरेकसागरोपमा । शर्कराप्रभायां त्रिसागरोपमा । वालुकाप्रभायां सप्तसागरोपमा । पंकप्रभायां दशसागरोपमा । धूमप्रभायां सप्तदशसागरोपमा । तमः प्रभायां द्वाविंशतिसागरोपमा । महातमः प्रभायां त्रयस्त्रशत्सागरोपमा इति । परा उत्कृष्टेत्यर्थः । 'सत्वानाम्' इति वचनं भूमिनिवृत्त्यर्थम् । भूमिषु सत्स्वानामियं स्थितिः, न भूमीनामिति ।

8379. जम्बूद्वीपादयो द्वीपाः । लवणोदादयः समुद्राः । यानि लोके शुभानि नामानि तन्नामानस्ते । तद्यथा - जम्बूद्वीपो द्वीपः । लवणोदः समुद्रः । धातकीखण्डो द्वीपः । कालोवः समुद्रः । पुष्करवरो द्वीपः । पुष्करवरः समुद्रः । वारुणीवरो द्वीपः । वारुणीवरः समुद्रः । क्षीरवरो द्वीपः । क्षीरवरः समुद्रः । घृतवरो द्वीपः । घृतवरः समुद्रः । इक्षुवरो द्वीपः । इक्षुवरः समुद्रः । नन्दीश्वरवरो द्वीपः । नन्दीश्वरवरः समुद्रः । अरुणवरो द्वीपः । अरुणवरः समुद्रः । इत्येवम संख्येया द्वीपसमुद्राः स्वयंभूरमणपर्यन्ता वेदितव्याः ।
8 380. अमीषां विष्कम्भसंनिवेशसंस्थानविशेषप्रतिपत्यर्थमाह
8377. इस सूत्रमें 'यथाक्रमम्' इस पदकी अनुवृत्ति होती है। जिससे उन नरकोंमें भूमिके क्रमसे एक सागरोपम आदि स्थितियोंका क्रमसे सम्बन्ध हो जाता है । रत्नप्रभामें एक सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है । शर्कराप्रभामें तीन सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है । वालुकाप्रभामें सात सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है । पंकप्रभामें दस सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है । धूमप्रभामें सत्रह सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है । तमःप्रभामें बाईस सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है और महातमःप्रभा तैंतीस सागरोपम उत्कृष्ट स्थिति है । 'परा' शब्दका अर्थ 'उत्कृष्ट' है । और 'सत्त्वानाम्' पद भूमियोंके निराकरण करनेके लिए दिया है। अभिप्राय यह है कि भूमियोंमें जीवोंकी यह स्थिति है, भूमियोंकी नहीं ।
8378. सात भूमियों में फैले हुए अधोलोकका वर्णन किया। अब तिर्यग्लोकका कथन करना चाहिए । शंका- तिर्यग्लोक यह संज्ञा क्यों है ? समाधान—चूँकि स्वयम्भूरमण समुद्र पर्यन्त असंख्यात द्वीप- समुद्र तिर्यक् प्रचयविशेषरूपसे अवस्थित हैं, इसलिए तिर्यग्लोक संज्ञा है । तिर्यक् रूपसे अवस्थित क्या हैं इस बातका ज्ञान करानेके लिए आगेका सूत्र कहते हैं
जम्बूद्वीप आदि शुभ नामवाले द्वीप और लवणोद आदि शुभ नामवाले समुद्र हैं ॥7॥ 8379. जम्बूद्वीप आदिक द्वीप हैं और लवणोद आदिक समुद्र हैं । तात्पर्य यह है कि लोकमें जितने शुभ नाम हैं उन नामवाले वे द्वीप समुद्र हैं । यथा - जम्बूद्वीप नामक द्वीप, लवणोद समुद्र, धातकीखण्ड द्वीप, कालोद समुद्र, पुष्करवर द्वीप, पुष्करवर समुद्र, वारुणीवर द्वीप, वारुणीवर समुद्र, क्षीरवर द्वीप, क्षीरवर समुद्र, घृतवर द्वीप, घृतवर समुद्र, इक्षुवर द्वीप, इक्षुवर समुद्र, नन्दीश्वरवर द्वीप, नन्दीश्वरवर समुद्र, अरुणवर द्वीप और अरुणवर समुद्र, इस प्रकार स्वयंभूरमण पर्यन्त असंख्यात द्वीप- समुद्र जानने चाहिए ।
8380. अब इन द्वीप समुद्रों के विस्तार, रचना और आकारविशेषका ज्ञान करानेके लिए आगेका सूत्र कहते हैं

[316 § 377
8377. The word 'yathākramam' is carried forward. In those hells, the positions of the earth-like beings are related to the number of oceans. In Ratnaprabhā, the highest position is one ocean-like. In Śarkarāprabhā, it is three ocean-like. In Valukāprabhā, it is seven ocean-like. In Pankaprabhā, it is ten ocean-like. In Dhūmaprabhā, it is seventeen ocean-like. In Tamaḥprabhā, it is twenty-two ocean-like. In Mahātamaḥprabhā, it is thirty-three ocean-like. The word 'parā' means 'highest'. The word 'sattvānām' is used to negate the earth. The meaning is that this is the position of the beings in the earths, not of the earths themselves.
$378. The description of the lower world, spread over seven earths, has been given. Now the Tiryanchloka should be described. Why is it called Tiryanchloka? Because countless islands and oceans, up to the ocean of Svayambhūramana, are situated in a particular way, extending sideways, hence the name Tiryanchloka. What are situated sideways? To explain this, the next sūtra says:
Jambūdvīpa, etc., are islands with auspicious names, and Lavaṇoda, etc., are oceans with auspicious names. ||17||
8379. Jambūdvīpa, etc., are islands. Lavaṇoda, etc., are oceans. Those which have auspicious names in the world, are named after them. For example, Jambūdvīpa is an island, Lavaṇoda is an ocean, Dhātakīkhaṇḍa is an island, Kāloda is an ocean, Puṣkaravara is an island, Puṣkaravara is an ocean, Vāruṇīvara is an island, Vāruṇīvara is an ocean, Kṣīravara is an island, Kṣīravara is an ocean, Ghṛtavāra is an island, Ghṛtavāra is an ocean, Ikṣuvāra is an island, Ikṣuvāra is an ocean, Nandīśvaravara is an island, Nandīśvaravara is an ocean, Aruṇavara is an island, and Aruṇavara is an ocean. In this way, countless islands and oceans, up to the ocean of Svayambhūramana, should be known.
8380. To explain the specific details of their circumference, arrangement, and structure, the next sūtra says:
