[Twenty-four Stanak Samavaya]
[69 Twenty-four Devadideva have been mentioned, such as- Rishabha, Ajita, Sambhava, Abhinandan, Sumati, Padma Prabha, Suparshva, Chandra Prabha, Suvidhi (Pushpadanta) Sheetal, Shreyans, Vasupujya, Vimala, Ananta, Dharma, Shanti, Kunthu, Ara, Malli, Munisuvrat, Nami, Nemi, Parshvanath and Vardhaman.
161-Chullahimavant and Siharin's Vasaharapvavva's Jiwao are said to be twenty-four thousand nine hundred thirty-two yojanas and one thirty-eighth part of a yojana, slightly more in length.
162-Twenty-four Devathanas are said to be with Indra. The rest are without Indra, without Purohita and the Devas there are called Ahmindra.
Discussion- The twenty-four Devathanas which are said to be with Indra are as follows- Ten places of the ten types of Bhavanvasi Devas, eight places of the eight types of Vyantar Devas, five places of the five types of Jyotishka Devas and one place of the Kalpvasi Devas like Saudharma. Thus, all these together (10+8+5+1=24) are twenty-four. In all these places, there is a system like king, subjects etc., therefore, their rulers are called Indra. But in nine Graiveyak and five Anuttar Vimanas, there is no concept of king, subjects etc., but all the Devas there are of equal wealth and glory, they all experience themselves as 'Aham Indra:' I am Indra, therefore, they are called 'Ahmindra' and for this reason, those fourteen places are called Anindra (without Indra) and Apurohita (without Purohita). This word Apurohita is a sign, therefore, where there is Indra, there are also Samanik, Trayastrinash, Atmarakshak, Purohita and Lokpal etc. But where there is no concept of Indra, those Devathanas are called by words like 'Anindra, Apurohita' etc.
163-When the Sun is in Uttarayana, it is said that it becomes twenty-four angula-long Purushi shadow and then it turns back. Ganga-Sindhu, the great rivers, are said to be twenty-four kos wide at their source. [Similarly] Rakta-Raktavati, the great rivers, are said to be twenty-four kos wide at their source.
164-In this way, the earth is said to be twenty-four palas in length, width and height, for the sake of those who are interested in the light of gems.
