Elaboration-Aphorisms
1 to 16 contain information
Tamaskaaya and aphorisms 17 to 43 about krishna-rajis. These two have some similarities and some differences
Similarities (1) The appearance of both is black, terrifying pitch black. (2) Both have only empty space where neither houses nor inhabited places exist.
Differences (1) The spread and circumferences of the two differ. (2) Tamaskaaya is mainly apkaayik (water-bodied) and krishna-rajis are mainly prithvi-kaayik (earth-bodied). (3) Tamaskaaya does not contain gross earth-bodies and gross fire-bodies. Krishna-rajis do not contain gross water-bodies, gross fire-bodies and gross plant-bodies.

Lokantik gods live at the edge of the universe (lokant) near the fifth divine realm called Brahmalok, that is why they are called Lokantik. Also, the overlords of these gods are destined to be liberated after just one rebirth. Thus they are about to end the cycles of rebirth in the Lok. That is another reason they are called Lokantik.
भगवती सूत्र (२)
The colour of these vimaans is red, yellow and white. They are illuminated, have pleasant appearance and smell and are embellished with all kinds of gems. The gods residing there have perfect body constitution (sam-chaturasra samsthan), Padma leshya (yellow soulcomplexion) and are righteous.
