[110] In the first Ratna Kanda of the Jeeva Jeeva Abhigamsutra, the text is contained in the middle section, leaving one hundred yojanas above and below, with a total of one hundred yojanas. These cities are also in the Tiryanch Lok, and their inhabitants reside in all three lokas. / Alternatively, those who dwell in various forests, mountain ranges, caves, and other shelters are known as Vananyantara Devas. There are different categories of Vananyantara Devas: Kinnara, Kimpurusha, Mahoraga, Gandharva, Yaksha, Rakshasa, Bhut, and Pichasha. / Each of these categories has two subcategories: Paryapta and Aparyapta. / / Jyotishka - those who illuminate and enlighten the world are called Jyotishka, meaning Vimanas. / Those who reside in these Jyotishka Vimanas are called Jyotishka Devas. / Alternatively, those who are radiant with the signs of the moon, sun, and other celestial bodies in their crowns are Jyotishka Devas. There are five categories of these: Chandra, Surya, Graha, Nakshatra, and Tara. / These also have two subcategories: Paryapta and Aparyapta. / Vaimanika - those who reside in the Vimanas of the Urddhva Lok are called Vaimanika. They are of two types: Kalpopanna and Kalpaatita. / Kalpopanna means where there are rules and regulations of the Kalpa, i.e., where there are rules and practices of Indra, Samanika, Trayastrish, etc., they are Kalpopanna. Where these practices or rules do not exist, they are Kalpaatita. There are twelve categories of Kalpopanna: 1. Saudharma, 2. Ishana, 3. Sanatkumara, 4. Mahendra, 5. Brahmalok, 6. Lant, 7. Mahashukra, 8. Sahasrar, 9. Anant, 10. Pranat, 11. Praran, and 12. Achyut. / Each of these has two subcategories: Paryapta and Aparyapta. / Kalpaatita Devas are of two types: Veyak and Anuttaroppapatika. / Veyak Devas are of nine types: 1. Adhastan-Adhastat, 2. Adhastan-Madhyam, 3. Adhastan-Uparim, 4. Madhyam-Adhastan, 5. Madhyam-Madhyam, 6. Madhyam-Uparim, 7. Uparim-Adhastan, 8. Uparim-Madhyam, and 9. Uparim-Uparim. / These also have two subcategories based on Paryapta and Aparyapta. Anuttaroppapatika Devas have five categories: 1. Vijay, 2. Vaijayant, 3. Jayant, 4. Aparajit, and 5. Sarvarthasiddha. / Each of these also has two subcategories: Paryapta and Aparyapta. / The distinction between Paryapta and Aparyapta in Devas should not be understood as arising from the Aparyapta Karma. Instead, it should be understood at the time of their birth. / The Siddhanta states: "Naraka, Deva, Garbhaja, Tiyanch, Manushya, and those with an immeasurable lifespan are Aparyapta at the time of their birth." The following is a description of the Devas' bodies and other 23 doors: Body Door - Devas have three bodies: Vaikriya, Taijasa, and Karmana. / Avagahana Door - The Bhavadharaniy Avagahana is immeasurable in terms of angulas from the lowest point and seven hands in length from the highest point. The Uttaravaikriyiki is immeasurable in terms of angulas from the lowest point and one lakh yojanas in length from the highest point. 2.
