In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana states that in some of the Sadhika Purva Kavyayu, the state of the Jghanya Bhogabhumis is similar to that of the Aryas. || 491 || Then, in the fifth time period, the state of the Madhyama Bhogabhumis will prevail. In the sixth time period, the state of the Varya Bhogabhumis will be known. || 492 || Similarly, the state of the remaining nine Karmabhumis will be the same. Thus, the state of the Kalpa is described as being the same in the past, present, and future. || 493 || This is the way the Kalpa is to be understood, as spoken by the Jinas. In all the Videhakshetras, the height of humans is five hundred Dhanus and their lifespan is one crore years. || 494 || The lifespan of humans is considered to be one crore years. Among them, the Tirthankaras, Chakravartis, Balabhadra, and Narayana are considered to be the most numerous. || 495 || They are remembered as being numerous, with a hundred and sixty each. If they are fewer, then they are twenty each. || 496 || The total number of beings born in all the Bhumis is one hundred and seventy. Beings from all four gatis are born there. || 497 || The five gatis go to their respective destinations, controlled by their own conduct. All beings born in the Bhogabhumis originate from the Karmabhumis. || 498 || Humans and sentient animals go to the Upapada. Beings born in the Bhogabhumis, at the end of their lives, are reborn in the first and second heavens or in the three categories of Bhavanavasis. || 499 || It is a rule that all humans and sentient animals born in the Bhogabhumis are destined to become Devas. Humans born in the Bhogabhumis are the best, while those born in the Karmabhumis are of three types, according to their specific activities: Uttama, Madhyama, and Jghanya. The Shalaka Purushas, Kamadeva, and the Vidyadharas are Devas who are worshipped by the good. They are called divine humans and are said to be the humans of the sixth time period. Apart from them, there are those with one leg, those without language, those with ears like a shankha, those who use their ears as clothing and bedding, those with faces like horses, lions, and buffaloes, and others who are difficult to look at. || 500-503 ||
