________________ * वाले देव कल्पवासी वैमानिक देव कहे जाते हैं। इनके ऊपर नव ग्रैवेयक विमान तथा उनसे ऊपर पाँच * अनुत्तर विमान, यों २६ देवलोक हैं। इनके निवासी कल्पातीत वैमानिक देव कहलाते हैं। वैमानिक देवों के चौरासी लाख सत्तावन हजार तेवीस विमान हैं। भगवान महावीर के दर्शन-वन्दन हेतु आने वाले १२ कल्पवासी वैमानिक देवों का यहाँ वर्णन है। इनमें १ से ८वें देवलोक तक प्रत्येक देवलोक का एक एक स्वतंत्र अधिपति-इन्द्र है। ९-१० का एक इन्द्र तथा ११-१२ का एक इन्द्र, इस प्रकार बारह ॐ देवलोकों के दस इन्द्र हैं। वैमानिक देवों के पृथ्वी पर आने के कुछ मुख्य कारण होते हैं, जिनमें मुख्य रूप में तीर्थंकर भगवान के जन्म, दीक्षा, कैवल्य, निर्वाण आदि कल्याणक महोत्सवों पर उनके दर्शन करने के लिए ये स्वतन्त्र तथा समूहबद्ध होकर आते रहते हैं। Elaboration-Aphorisms 33 to 37 of this Agam describe the arrival of four types of gods in the divine assembly (Samavasaran) of Bhagavan Mahavir to offer their homage. The salient features of the information available in Agams about these goods are as follows1. ASUR-KUMAR GODS They fall under the class of Bhavan-vasi (mansion residing) gods who have ten sub-groups-—(1) Asur-kumar, (2) Naag-kumar, (3) Suparn. kumar, (4) Vidyut-kumar, (5) Agni-kumar, (6) Dveep-kumar, (7) Udadhi kumar, (8) Disha (Dik)-kumar, (9) Pavan (Vayu)-kumar, and (10) Stanit39 kumar. Dwelling area-One thousand yojans (one yojan being eight miles) below the level land and one thousand yojans above the bottom of Ratnaprabha land (the one hundred eighty thousand yojans deep first sex hell located below the Tiryak lok or the middle world) millions of abodes (bhavans) of Asur-kumar gods are spread in an area of one hundred seventy eight thousand yojans. These bhavans are circular from outside and quadrangular from inside. Family_These gods dwell in the said area of Adho-lok (lower world) with their extended families of thousands of Samanik gods, Trayastrinsh gods, Lokpal, army, commanders, bodyguards and principal queens. They are keenly interested in always enjoying enchanting dance and music a (vina, flute and other instruments) performances. These gods live in the north and the south having one lord of each group in each direction. In other words there are twenty Indras in all; ten of the ten northern groups and ten of the ten southern groups. Complexion and garbs—The Asur-kumar gods are black and their garb is red. * औपपातिकसूत्र (142) Aupapatik Sutra Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
