## Aaturpratyakhyanaprakirnakam, Chapter 9
**Verse 8**
The method by which this (merit) is achieved is explained as follows: The initiation (upkrama), the establishment of the seat (piṭhabandha), which is described in detail in the chapter on the knowledge of the devotees (bhaktaparijñādhyayana), is the same here as well. In this study, the death of a child prodigy (bālapanditamaraṇa) should be understood in a suitable and appropriate manner.
**Verse 9**
**Vēmaṇi**
The (śrāvaka) attains the (heavenly) abode of the **Vēmaṇi** (Vāimānika) according to the rule (niyama). He attains the seventh (heaven) due to his excellent (ukkośa) merit.
**Vimāne Bhava**
**Bhūva**
Now, to show where this (śrāvaka) who has performed such meritorious deeds will attain, it is said: "Vāimānika, they are also Jyotiṣka." To differentiate this, it is further explained: "Kappouvagēsu" - those who attain the **Kalpa** (heavenly abodes) like Saudharma, etc., but not those who are beyond the **Kalpa**. "Niyamenā tasya uvavāo" - the (śrāvaka) attains the Saudharma, etc., according to the rule (niyama), due to his certainty (niścaya). Because he has no bondage (bandhābhāva) due to his unfixed lifespan (abaddhāyuṣa) and the lifespan of the Vāimānika (Vāimānikavarjadevāyuṣa). And thus, accepting the attainment of the Arṣa (heaven), it is said: "Sāvagassa jahannēnaṁ sohammē uvavāo, ukkosēnaṁ accuē" (The śrāvaka attains the Saudharma due to his merit, and he ascends due to his excellent merit). Now, to explain in which (heaven) he will be, it is said: "Niyamā sijjhai ukkosēnaṁ" - he will attain the seventh (heaven) due to his certainty (niścaya) and excellent merit (ukkośa).
**Soma**
Now, to show where this (śrāvaka) who has performed such meritorious deeds will attain, it is said: "Vimāne Bhava" - Vāimānika, they are also Jyotiṣka. To differentiate this, it is further explained: "Kappouvagēsu" - those who attain the **Kalpa** (heavenly abodes) like Saudharma, etc., but not those who are beyond the **Kalpa**. The (śrāvaka) who previously had an unfixed lifespan (abaddhāyuṣa) attains the Saudharma, etc., due to his certainty (niyama) and ascends from the lowest (Saudharma) to the highest (Acyuta) as far as his ability to go. Now, to explain how many heavens this (śrāvaka) who has performed meritorious deeds (śrāddha dharma āradhaka) and has not fallen from the path (apratipatita dharma) will attain, it is said: "Niyamā" - he will attain the seventh (heaven) due to his certainty (niścaya) and excellent merit (ukkośa), and also from the lowest (Caturtha) to the highest.
**Verse 9 (Summary)**
