## 192] Sarvartha Siddhi
[4123 84868486. It has been said that they are Kalpa-upapanna, but it is not known who these Kalpas are. Therefore, the next Sutra says:
Kalpas are those who are before the nine Graiveyakas. ||23|| 8487. It is not known from where the Kalpas begin, therefore the word Saudharma etc. is understood to be continued. From this, it is understood that Saudharma and the other nine Graiveyakas are Kalpas. By the principle of Pariseṣya, the rest are beyond Kalpas.
8488. Where are the Lokāntika Devas, who are Vaimānika? They are included in the Vaimānikas. How? The next Sutra says:
The abode of the Lokāntika Devas is Brahmaloka. ||24|| 8489. They come and merge into it, therefore it is called Ālaya or Āvāsa. Those whose abode is Brahmaloka are known as Lokāntika Devas who reside in Brahmaloka. If this is so, then all the Devas who reside in Brahmaloka would be Lokāntika. This is not a fault because of the acceptance of the meaningful term. The word Lokāntika is derived from the word Loka, which refers to Brahmaloka, and its end, or boundary, is called Lokānta. Those who reside there are called Lokāntika. Therefore, not all the Devas who reside in Brahmaloka are included. Their Vimānas are situated at the boundary of Brahmaloka. Or, the world, which is filled with birth, old age, and death, is called Samsāra, and its end is called Lokānta. Those who reside at the end of Samsāra are called Lokāntika. They are all Pariita-Samsārī, and after leaving there, they will attain Nirvāṇa after residing in a womb once more.
8490. To show the different types of these Lokāntika Devas, who have been described in general, the next Sutra says:
Sārasvata, Āditya, Vahni, Aruṇa, Gardatoya, Tuṣita, Avyābādha, and Aniṣṭa are the Lokāntika Devas. ||25||
