Avakashantar-In the lower section of the Lok (occupied space) resembling human form and having an expanse of 14 Raiju (a conceptual linear measure) there are seven prithvis (hells), one below the other. Below the first hell there is ghanodadhi (dense water) followed by ghanavaat (dense air), then tanuvaat (rarefied air) and lastly space. In this order there are seven sections of space under the seven hells. These layers of empty space are called avakashantar or intervening space. As it 51 is nothing but space it is aguru-laghu.
