The second mandala of the Samavayanga Sutra is established. Similarly, by adding 535 to the diameter of the second mandala (99645 + 535 = 99651 - 9), the diameter of the third mandala is obtained as ninety-nine thousand six hundred and fifty-one yojanas and nine parts out of sixty-one parts of a yojana. The increase of 640 yojanas in the first mandala, 645 35/69 yojanas in the second mandala, and 6519 yojanas in the third mandala, which is mentioned in the sutra as 'saatireka' and 'saadhik', means 'slightly more than ninety-nine thousand yojanas'.
446 - From this, the upper limit of the abodes of the Vana-vyantara Bhoumeyaka Devas is said to be ninety-nine hundred yojanas away from the lower limit of the Anjana Kanda of the Ratnaprabha earth.
Discussion - The Anjana Kanda is the tenth of the sixteen Kanda's of the first Kharakanda of the Ratnaprabha earth. Its lower limit is ten thousand yojanas away from here. The cities of the Vyanta Devas are located after the first hundred yojanas of the first Ratna Kanda. Subtracting these hundred from ten thousand (10,000 - 100 = 9900) gives the sutra-mentioned distance of ninety-nine hundred (9900) yojanas.

Shatasthanaka Samavay 447 - The Bhikshu Pratimas of the Dasadashamiya are touched, nurtured, adorned, purified, praised, and worshipped by one hundred day-nights and five hundred and fifty Bhikshadattis, as per the sutra, the path, and the truth.
Discussion - The worship of this Bhikshu Pratimas is done through ten-day periods, i.e., one hundred days. Similar to the previously mentioned Bhikshu Pratimas, one Bhikshadatti is received each day from the first ten days to the tenth ten-day period. Accordingly, the total number of Bhikshadattis (10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80 + 90 + 100 = 550) becomes five hundred and fifty. The remaining worship rituals should be understood as similar to the previous Pratimas.
448 - The Shatabhishak Nakshatra has one hundred stars.
449 - The Arhat, with a bow in his hand, is said to be very high.
