**Sarvarthasiddhi**

[4115 $ 4708 470. To explain the location of the Jyotishis, the next Sutra says:
**They are located outside.** ||15|| 6 471. The word 'bahiḥ' (outside) is used. Question: Outside of what? Answer: Outside of the human realm (nṛloka). Question: How do we know this? Answer: The change in the case ending of the word 'nṛloka' in the previous Sutra indicates that the word 'bahiḥ' refers to the outside of the human realm. Question: But the previous Sutra stated that the Jyotishis are constantly moving within the human realm. Therefore, their location outside of it is already established. So, the statement 'bahiḥavastītāḥ' (they are located outside) is meaningless. Answer: That is not correct. Because the existence and location of the Jyotishis outside of the human realm is not established. Therefore, the statement 'bahiḥavastītāḥ' is used to establish both their existence and location. This Sutra is also used to negate the possibility of their movement in the opposite direction and their occasional movement. || 8 472. To introduce the general name of the fourth category, the next Sutra says:
**They are Vaimanikas.** ||16|| 8473. The word 'Vaimanika' is used to establish their authority. The beings who will be described next are Vaimanikas. This statement establishes their authority. Those who consider the beings residing within them as their own souls are called Vimana. And those who reside in those Vimana are called Vaimanikas. There are three types of Vimana: Indraka, Shreṇibaddha, and Pushpaprakirṇaka. Among them, the Indraka Vimana are located in the middle, like Indra. They are arranged in rows like the regions of the sky in the four directions. The faces of the elephant-like Devas are towards the south, the faces of the bull-like Devas are towards the west, and the faces of the horse-like Devas are towards the north.
8470. Now, to explain the location of the twelve Jyotishis in the second half of the Dwīpa, the next Sutra says:
**The Jyotishi Devas reside outside the human realm.** ||15||
